Over all: I think we done really well considering that the seats we had were not that great. We lost to several wrestlers early in the tournament that either made the finals or reached the third and fourth place medal rounds. That is expected when you travel to tournaments early in the season, once everyone has wrestled in a few tournament the seating is a little more accurate and your not competing with one of the better guys first round of the tournament. I strongly feel that we could have had three in the finals along with a couple more finishing 3rd or 4th. Dillion Hale 130lbs. & Chris Gilkey 103lbs. were by far the second best guys in their weight classes but were forced to wrestle the champ in the semi-finals and not the finals. Kegan Agnew was in the top 4 in the tournament his only losses come to the second place finisher and third place finisher. Overall everyone stepped up and wrestled their best in a very tough early season tournament.
