JV Conference Championship match, Feb. 6, 2009, Menomonie, WI. Look close. The guy is turning purple!I am so proud of Orin, who won 1st place in his weight class of 152 #'s. He had already wrestled his 1st place match, when the officials found out he had wrestled against the wrong guy. So, they had Orin wrestle again, minutes after his last match. Pure adrenalin and less than a minute later, he won for real! Enjoy the rest of the pics here from his other matches.
Our school district ended up in 2nd place in this JV conference championship. Only two of our guys placed first, and a bunch 2nd. Two guys ended up with a severe injury...one a concussion, the other a possible torn ACL. I would have never imagined high school wrestling was so cool, but after 11 years of going to matches, I would have to admit it is indeed, very exciting to watch! Our school's wrestlers and parents are very committed to this sport, and we are a great team, with great team players! Here is a picture showing all the first place winners, and another of Orin's match earlier that day. Thanks for looking!
