Sean competed in his last tournament of the season in Ypsilanti over mid-winter break. This time Nana, Pops, Matt, Mindy, and Luka were able to come out and support Sean. He weighed-in Saturday morning because his practice/weigh-in was cancelled Thursday night due to the snow storm. He weighed about the same he usually does - 81 lbs - but instead of the 80 and 85 lb weight classes being lumped together, they lumped the 75 and 80 lb classes. So, he got to wrestle totally different kids!
His first match was up against a really good boy from Peer Pressure. This kid ended up going on to get 1st place. Sean was able to escape one of this moves and earned some points, but ended up getting pinned at the end of the first period.
Sean's second match, the boy forfeit. So, Sean automatically won that match. Boy, was he excited! Because of that forfeit, he was now able to win a 3rd or 4th place medal. His last match was against a boy that was pretty evenly matched with Sean. The boy seemed to have a bit more skill, but Sean was stronger and ended up winning going all three periods and winning by points 11-9. He was exhausted, but excited. Third place for Sean today!
We grabbed some lunch and celebratory brews at Arbor Brewing in Ypsilanti with everyone afterwards! It was a good day for Sean!
