NYAC

The NYAC didn’t have quite the turn out I was hoping for,
but I still got some good matches in. I
won 3 matches and lost in the finals 1-0, 1-0 to a guy from Japan.
In the quarterfinals I wrestled the Canadian that I faced in the finals
of the Clansmen. I gave up a take down late in the first period and lost 1-0. I finally started
getting going in the second period and got to a leg from the underhook position to score a takedown and win the second period 1-0. I
won the third period 6-0 with a take down, a gut and a crotch lift. In the semifinals I beat Zach in a very close
match. I lost the first period 3-2 off a
single leg attack. I countered his
single leg attack in the second period next to the edge to win 1-0 and
countered the move again late in the third period to win as time ran out. I didn’t wrestle very well in the finals at
all. I didn’t get off to a fast start
and gave up two takedowns at the end of both periods. Besides my finals match I think I wrestled
pretty well, but definitely not up to my potential. I have to start scoring points before I’m in
danger of losing a period. I think it
was good for me to get back on the mat and stay injury free this weekend. There are no tournaments coming up soon, so
for now its back to training.
