Hobart Invitational

My parents, Gabi and I all went to Hobart to support Trenton today. Trenton was seeded first in his bracket. His first opponent was from Lawrence Central and Trenton pinned him. Then came a wrestler from Munster and Trenton pinned him as well. The scene was set for a Plesac/Reinoehl match for the final round. Trenton was up 4-3 in the third period. Trenton was called on a full nelson and Plesac got a point. It was then 4-4. Trenton decided to cut Plesac giving him another point for an escape. Trenton knew he needed a take down to win. Lo and behold with 6 seconds left in the match...he got the takedown for the win! Trenton beat Plesac 6-4!!! As one of the other dad's was leaving he said to me, "we are going to call Trenton the 'cardiac kid' from now on!" How true. My heart was pounding out of my chest as he won. I can hardly take these matches he has been winning. So exciting but scary at the same time! We are very proud of Trenton!!! If you haven't noticed...check out where Plesac stands at this point in the rankings in an earlier post....
Also, the entire Mishawaka team individually were in the Championship match! How cool is that! Everyone but one wrestler got 1st place! Go Cavemen!

Trenton should be moving up!

Next stop, sectionals!

Trent,
Congratulations on that win! NOW is the time to step up the training and get ready for sectionals. You have to come in in the top bracket. Work harder and build your conditioning. I wanna see you become the state champ! Go for it hard!
