Michael lost his first match to the number one ranked guy in the state. He was still in it for Saturday though and he knew he would have to wrestle with everything he has. Unfortunately, he was a little off Saturday and lost, which put him out of the running for a spot on the podium. Although he lost both matches he wasn't upset as much as previous losses. He had accomplished his goal of getting to State and he worked really hard to get there. He was able to enjoy the experience and learn from it. His goal next year is to get on the podium. With 10-15 pounds of pure muscle added to his frame he shouldn't have any trouble placing next year. He was excited to have a few minutes with some of our States great wrestlers such as Jesse Thielke of Germantown. He was going for his 4th state win, and to give you an idea of what a big deal that is, there are only 10 people who have accomplished it. Jesse is going to wrestle for the University of Wisconsin but not for two more years because he is going to the Olympics first. He was kind enough to give Michael his autograph...on his butt. Anyway, Michaels coaches were happy with the season and for the most part the only let down was that the team didn't make the trip to team state. I am proud of him and can't wait to see what next year brings. It will be his senior year so I want to get to every match, every tournament, every event and be there for him for every loss and every victory. It will be going from "Good to Great!" thanks for reading xoxo
