My son placed first in a 16 wrestler bracket that had 14 wrestlers show up. His first match was on Mat 14 was #7 and his championship match was #113. I believe his last match finished about 3PM. My son's mat was moving a lot faster than the other mats in this old gym. I'm sure they moved matches to it from the other mats after we left. He is in 12 & under, 120 and they had him for the first time in the old Whiting Gym with the 14 year olds and the bigger 12 & unders.
Our family really liked the change to the old gym. The seating was plentiful and very roomy. You could stretch out and almost take a nap if you wanted. There were four full sized mats which made it great for the wrestlers. It was not nearly as loud as our previous years in the newer gym which we found to be noisy and more crowded. You did not have all the announcements during the day. We are looking forward to returning to compete in that gym for his last two years of grade school.
