Its crazy how season after season some dedicated wrestlers who put in hours upon hours in the off-season and worked so hard during season do not reach there goal of standing on the podium of winning the tournament they so often dream of. I understand the "choke" factor comes in at state but its sad to see these wrestlers nit reach there goals especially the seniors who placed once or numerous times but just could not win that GOLD at the tournament they urned to do so much at. Year after year I have witnessed also first hand these kids break down after there matches. They drop more tears then they dropped they drop sweat all season. Some look at the sport and think why did I waste so much of my time with this sport while I could have been eating and partying like everyone else. I commend these wrestlers that even though did not reach there goal of winning a State Championship or been able to stand on the podium that they did what others could not do and stick by the sport and not quit.
