There are plenty of wrestling families and then there is the Finesilver family, whose gem-like surname more than fits the above definition.
The only differences is that one might call them “nine times fine” — considering there are nine family members from Greenwood Village, Colo. — and they certainly are not weak, especially the four sons, who all wrestle for Duke and made NCAA history a year ago when they all qualified for the NCAAs in Cleveland.

And all four return this season in hopes of at least duplicating that feat in Pittsburgh; from the two seniors — Mitch and Zach, who wrestle at 149 and 165 pounds — and their two sophomore brothers: Josh and Matt, who compete at 141 and 174 pounds. And while none of the four have earned All-American honors for the Blue Devils, they certainly have made an impact on many in their lives, whether it was growing up in the Denver suburb or in Durham, N.C., where their very presence more than motivates their teammates. “It’s super to have them on the team,” said Duke coach Glen Lanham. “When they first came in, I told them to be careful because they were always going to have the numbers.”
