Going into the Olympic Team Trials, the 66 kg/145.5 lbs. division may be the most volatile and wide open of them all in Greco-Roman. It features a field with some tremendous balance. It also features a new star who is not completely tested. The division has a veteran champion who is trying to bounce back from a disappointing performance. It has a ton of interesting story lines.    It all starts with Faruk Sahin, the Turkish immigrant who became an American citizen this year. Sahin entered his first U.S. National Championships in Las Vegas this year and he won the gold medal. He enters the Olympic Team Trials as the No. 1 seed, needing to just win a best-of-three series to advance to the Olympics and wrestle for the Red-White-and-Blue. Sahin joined the U.S. Army, achieved his citizenship, and is now pursuing his Olympic dream for his new nation.    Sahin has been in the United States for a number of years, always involved with the U.S. Greco-Roman effort. He has continued training. He has held a variety of jobs. He has entered international competitions where it did not matter that he was not yet an American and won them, such as the Sunkist Kids International and the Dave Schultz Memorial. And in Las Vegas, at the U.S. Nationals, he dominated the action, allowing a single point on the way to the title. Everybody knew that Sahin was talented. Now, under the microscope, he is proving it.    In the finals, he faced an Army teammate, veteran Oscar Wood, a surprise finalist but a known talent. Wood held the No. 8 seed at the U.S. Nationals, and rocked the wrestling world by upsetting No. 1 and past Olympian Kevin Bracken in the quarterfinals, 4-0. His run did not stop there, as he then beat another Army veteran, Glenn Garrison, in the semifinals, 3-0. Wood may be living up to the potential he has always had. He was a Greco-Roman talent, going all the way back to high school, where he was perhaps the top college recruit in the nation. In college, he was also talented, placing as high as third at the NCAA Championships for Oregon State. Since joining the Army and pursuing a career in Greco-Roman, he has always been in the mix but has not had a big breakthrough. His time may have come, but only if he builds upon the success from U.S. Nationals and does even better at the Olympic Team Trials.    The status of Kevin Bracken is one of the major stories at this division. Bracken has been No. 1 in his weight class for the five straight years. He has gone to the Olympics and all of the World Championships since. When the weight class needed qualifying for the Olympics, it was Bracken who went overseas on got the job done. Until the loss to Wood, Bracken has done a great job holding onto his place at the top of the heap. After losing to Wood, Bracken wrestled one more wrestleback bout then defaulted down to eighth place in Las Vegas. Certainly, he will get consideration for a higher seed in the Challenge Tournament. But no matter where he is placed in the field, Bracken knows he can not falter again. To reclaim his position, he will need to wrestle with dominance for three straight days. Bracken has shown some inconsistent wrestling lately. His pride and passion will be tested in Indianapolis.    This weight class had a few other surprises in Las Vegas. It was as if somebody took the weight class, turned it completely upside down, and shook things around there.    Claiming the No. 3 spot at the U.S. Nationals was Brandon McNab, a young talent who has made Greco-Roman his passion and purpose. McNab had been competing at 74 kg for some time, but made the move down at the beginning of this season. He qualified for the Olympic Trials with a win at the Central Regional Trials. At the U.S. Nationals, wrestling without a seed, he lost only once, a 5-0 match to champion Sahin. Along the way, McNab got by the No. 7 seed (twice), the No. 6 seed and the No. 4 seed. McNab, who lived in Europe for awhile early in his Greco-Roman quest, and has trained hard at the USOTC in Colorado Springs, has set himself up as the talented newcomer at this division. Yet he is well aware that there are many others he will need to beat if he is to achieve his dream.    Another tough young star is Harry Lester, who took fourth in Las Vegas after entering as the No. 7 seed. Lester was a top high school star and went to college powerhouse Iowa State initially. He decided to pursue Greco-Roman wrestling and moved over to the USOEC program at Northern Michigan. His choice to specialize is now coming to fruition during the Olympic year. Between his two losses to McNab, Lester advanced past seven opponents in the wrestlebacks. His biggest win may have been over James Shillow, who has been No. 2 behind Bracken for the past two years at this division by an 11-5 margin. Lester's confidence should be strong, and his talent is being developed and refined.    Another unseeded veteran who placed high in Las Vegas was Glenn Garrison, who at one point in his career had reached a No. 2 spot on Greco-Roman Team USA. The balance in this weight class placed athletes like Garrison on the outside looking in this season. He beat No. 4 seed Marcel Cooper and No. 5 seed Mike Ellsworth before his semifinal loss to Wood, then lost to McNab in the wrestlebacks. Garrison has paid his dues and ridden on the rollercoaster that this division has created. This may be an "up" cycle for Garrison on his journey.    The U.S. Marine Corps stars, James Shillow and Marcel Cooper, finished out at sixth and seventh in Las Vegas. Shillow has been a rising star in Greco-Roman, beating all comers except Bracken during the last two World Team Trials. After losing 3-1 to Sahin in the semifinals in Las Vegas, Shillow lost the next match to Lester. Opponents can expect Shillow to bounce back and wrestle fiercely in the Challenge Tournament in Indianapolis. Cooper, one of the most experienced on the Greco-Roman circuit, knows how to win a Trials event, qualifying for the 2001 U.S. World Team. In recent seasons, he has not been able to get past teammate Shillow. Now both Marines will have to beat those who moved ahead of them in Las Vegas, and will now have Bracken in the mix in the Challenge Tournament, a place he has not been for awhile.    So what about the other top athletes who did not qualify in Las Vegas? Mike Ellsworth qualified for the Challenge Tournament through a Regional, winning at 74 kg in the East Regionals. Coming in with the No. 4 seed, he lost by pin to Garrison and technical fall to Lester at the U.S. Nationals, showing that he must make some changes in the training time prior to Indianapolis. Mark Rial, who had the No. 6 seed in Las Vegas, also finished out of the money there. However, Rial won the South Regional Trials, the "last chance qualifier," and will have another chance to change his fate. Both Ellsworth and Rial have had strong performances in the past, earning the respect of their peers, so both will need a bounce-back effort at the Olympic Trials.    The others winning Regional events to make the field in Indianapolis were James Johnson (West), Kelly Pederson (North) and Ron Muir (East). All three have been active on the Senior circuit, but each will be underdogs in their matches during the Challenge Tournament. With the unpredictability at this weight class, nobody can be taken for granted.    Then there is the reality that the next weight class up, the 74 kg division, did not get qualified for the Olympic Games in Greco-Roman. This opens the possibility that somebody up at that weight may decide to drop weight for a shot at the Olympic Team at 66 kg.     One of the Regional champions at 74 kg, Cory Posey, competed at 66 kg in Las Vegas. Steven Woods, the U.S. Nationals runner-up at 74 kg, once competed at this lower weight class. However, the possibility exists that those at 74 kg may either choose to go up to 84 kg, or may stay at 74 kg and try to make the U.S. National team there. The 74 kg class will be contested in Indianapolis, even though the winner does not get to go to the Olympics (at this point). There may be nobody from 74 kg dropping to 66 kg.    Based upon those expected to compete, th
