Talk about a battle...wow, this tournament was staCKED with all kinds of competition. Mishawaka took two teams (white and maroon) to this competition at Michigan State University (we will also be going to the St. Ignace Northern Exposure next month). Tyler wrestled with the maroon team. This was his first time back since removal of his hardware and meniscus surgery. In fact, he was just cleared on Monday to actually start wrestling again. Needless to say, by the end of the day he was extremely tired and very sore. The teams we faced were full of state placers and champions mixed in. They were "all star" teams. Our team consisted of just our wrestling team. Considering this, we did well placing 6th out of 15 teams. Tyler's went 1-4 (and forfeited one round because his knee was bothering him). Scores...against Trojan WC Illinois 1-5, against Jersey Triumph - who placed 2nd overall 2-4, Tyler pinned his kid from Salem WC Michigan, lost to Hartland WC Michigan 5-9 and lost his final match against the Michigan Elite Seniors by fall. We were just excited to see him back on the mat and facing some great competition. A good start to the off season training. Michigan Grappler also covered the event for more info and I have been trying to keep the wrestling website updated as well -Check it out.
