First and foremost thank you to the countless volunteers that made our event this past weekend a success.  It takes an army to run two gyms, 7 mats, a concession stand and a hospitality room then clean it all up when we are done.  I received many compliments about our event and hosting two tournaments simultaneously none of it would be possible without the help of all of you.

Wrestling recap
Our Varsity team finished 2-2 and our JV wrestlers all competed with good effort, many of whom finished in the top 3 of thier weight classes.  Obviously everytime we put our foot on the line to compete we want to win, that being said we want to learn something about ourselves and our wrestling regardless of result.  There were plenty of opportunities to learn and I am looking forward to practice this week.
