The results that were achieved this tournament we’re tremendous, we placed the highest any North Carolina club wrestling team has ever placed at Dual Team Nationals.

VB: John and Seth both had a tremendous season. They both placed at the masters. They missed the top six, which is the qualifiers for the state, by seconds. John gave up an escape with four seconds left. So he was four seconds away from winning that match. Seth was 10 seconds away. He gave up a takedown in the last 10 seconds.

Iowa is the home of the Hawkeyes and the Cyclones, but it is also home to some of the most competitive high school championship events in the United States. In a state full of corn fields and rural towns, many high school kids spend their teenage life training to compete at a high level on their respective stage. When training, these kids have one goal in mind; the state championship. The state championship events in Iowa bring in thousands of fans and create some of the greatest atmospheres in high school sports. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to make it to these championship events. Whether they have to stay back home and work or do not have the funds to afford the trip not everyone gets the chance to go watch their favorite teams at state. In the past, these people had been fortunate enough to have the ability to turn on their TV and catch the games, but with the recent television agreement made between the Iowa High School Sports Network and CSN Chicago that privilege is no longer available to everyone in the state. In a state full of fierce competition, people should have the opportunity to watch the championship events from border to border.

Saturday morning around nine I had my first wrestling match , one out of the five matches I had I only came to one victory. It was my first win of the year and the beginning of my wrestling career. Every match would last for approximately three minutes , three minutes which felt nothing compare to the amount of work I had already put in the wrestling room every day for three hours. I put blood sweat and tears to get where I wanted and after that one win I realized everything is

Wrestling was a sport I had no interest in, and I only tried out, because my coach recommended that I’d give it a shot. I never would of thought on my seventeenth birthday that I’d be wrestling for the conference championship. Reagan Fedowitz from Union Pines was my opponent, who placed fifth in the state tournament the year before. The tournament was held at Union Pines, so majority of the crowd were fans of Reagan. A announcer calls my name to come check in at the table, and I immediately become nervous. Although I was nervous, I used this as an advantage to become motivated for the match.

You glance at your opponent trying not to stare at him. You concentrate all you attention on the opponent, from his headgear, all the way down to his shoes. You try to help yourself to think positive, but your mind can’t get off the fact that he “looks” like a better wrestler. As your name is called for the match, your heart begins sinking. You make your way to the center of the wrestling match and face your opponent. The referee blows his whistle and you begin attacking and defending. Within the first few minutes you are physically drained, your muscles are aching and slowing down as they need a break. You keep pushing and don’t stop. As the match comes to an end and you take the victory. The feeling of pride and accomplishment rushes through your blood and suddenly your muscles feel fully rested and ready for your next

Youngest to oldest, lightest to heaviest, the top two wrestlers were announced and would battle face to face for the title. I could hear the roar of the crowd outside as competitive matches came to an end. The tunnel was sweltering and filled with passionate contenders. As I came to the end of the tunnel my dad said, “Go out and give it your all. Win or lose you are still a winner in my heart.” as he stood by my side. His words struck me and lingered in my mind. As time closed in on my turn, nerves kicked in more than ever and I started to get butterflies in my stomach, but I concentrated on my final destination; walking away 'state

However soon though the kids are getting bigger and bigger until my bracket is up! First round is pretty tough, for the muscles in my body are not yet stretched thoroughly and my heart is pounding like a bass drum. As I am walking out onto the mat, all I am thinking of is how long until I can go home. We start wrestling and no one scores for a bit until he shoots and actually takes me down! In my head I am yelling at myself, “Cole what are you doing!” That alone sums up the first period. After a little break the second period is on way, I’m a little mad. Instantly I hit a switch and I get two points like lightning. Fortunately he doesn’t move much after that so I stall the whole time. The score is currently two to two so nothing too serious is happening. Alright now the third period has begun and time ticks away like an hourglass just emptying every second. Soon though the thirty-second mark has sounded and he is squirming around real quick. Time ticking ever so slowly, I get a good hold on him to take him to his back for a quick two count for two points. First win out of the way with an ever to close match. Now is the time where I go up to the bleachers and take a good long nap. It may not be the best

On that day, I could feel the butterflies in my stomach aching for what was about to happen in the next six minutes. This was going to be the biggest wrestling match of my career, and as the referee blew his whistle I knew that this was the start of reality. Within the first two periods, my points were starting to rack up, which put me in the lead until my opponent started to come up with some of her own points. The referee yelled out, “15 seconds left!”, and I was up by one point. As soon as I thought it was over, the girl had got two points off of a takedown, and in that moment, I knew this was the end of a dream to become a 2017 State Champion.

So I won all of my matches and had one more to win state again. I won by 5 points and won state again it was amazing! Next season past and I was in the hospital because I had a thing inside my body I was scared I wasn't going to win state again. So after
