Considering the past couple of years either the National Champion or the runner up has not placed the next year, makes it all the more a crap shoot.
2004 NCAA National Champion was Matt Gentry. Gentry lost in the round of 12 not to place at the NCAA's in 2005.
2006 NCAA runner up was Brian Stith. Stith lost in the round of 12 not to place at the NCAA's in 2006.
2007 NCAA runner up was Craig Henning. Henning didn't even qualify for the 2008 NCAA tournament.
Pattern? I hope not. I'd like to see both Poeta and Leen on the award stand again next year.
