US Open - Day 5

Day 5 is the final day of the US Open.  Unfortunately, we don’t have anyone competing today.  Our boys battled hard yesterday, though.  We’re quite pleased with how they wrestled and are excited to get back to work and prepare for the next thing.  They learned a lot about wrestling at a high level and learned about themselves and each other.  

 

I’d say the trip was a success.  We’re already planning ahead for next year and thinking about what our group will look like next year.  We had one senior woman, two high school girls, three U15 boys, three U17 boys, and three U20 boys in our crew this week.  All of them won at least one match.  They’ll all come back and share their experience with teammates and likely motivate several others to take the challenge next year.  As soon as the date, location, and schedule are released, we’ll begin making arrangements.

 

This was an important seed planted in the wrestling careers of those that came this year.  Now they need to continue to water the seed and let it grow.  That’s how development happens in our sport.
