Evidently he didn't know you're not supposed to touch the headgear..........

He is one tough mean cookie!

And Jordan always looked like such a nice young boy!

I don't know Jordan Leen. In fact, I don't even know anyone who knows him personally.

 

Still, I'd like to make a couple of observations.

 

First, this is one tough kid. He battles and battles. The Baylor and Chattanooga wrestling communities should be very proud to claim him as one their own.

 

Second, an observation from last night's NCAA semifinal that really impressed me. As most of you know, Mr. Leen lost a really close, tough match to an exceptional wrestler from Illinois (Poeta), whom, I believe, he beat in the finals last year. At the end of the match, Mr. Leen did not hang his head, he did not stomp off, he did not wine. No, he looked his opponent in face and congratulated him. Then he went to the opponent's corner and congratulated the coaches. This is a true warrior. I will certainly be rooting for him to wrestle back to 3rd place.

I will certainly be rooting for him to wrestle back to 3rd place.

 

 

 

Which he did...4-0 over Gillespie of Edinboro this morning.

Great career. Congrats to a good kid and a great wrestler.

I left this picture of Jordan on another thread but it's just too good not to share. What a great competitor!

If I remember correctly he beat Poeta who was ranked #1 in the NHSCA Sr National Wrestling Championships in Clevland, OH. Folks from up north were asking :where did this kid come from!"

He's the real deal. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

The comentators, who did a great job explaining wrestling to the uninitiated, said that the 157 class was the most competitive. They were correct; 2 undefeated wrestlers and 2 former national champions.

Another interesting note is that Jordan mentioned he will be returning to TN to coach during his interview before the tournament started. I wonder where he will be headed ... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
