Minutemen Youth Wrestling

New London High School  -  The Minutemen traveled to two tournaments this past weekend.  Three beginner wrestlers were in New London where; Austin Teti and Gunnar Rumf both who placed 2^nd while Jack Jortner placed 4^th.

Austin wrestled his first two opponents who were taller than him winning on points and showing great hips as he worked off the bottom to the top and was agressive on his takedowns going after his opponents from the whistle.

Gunnar dropped his first match then went on two win his next two one by pin and the other by default as his opponent didn't come out for the second period in the Mighty Mite Division.

Jack Jortner the oldest of the three had the toughest day.  All of his opponents were taller than Jack.  In his third match against the tallest wrestler on the day Jack fought to a 2-2 tie at the end of the first and 4-4 at the end of the second.  Coach Moss had Jack take bottom in the third period as all he needed was an escape to win.  Jack got the escape with about 10 seconds to go in the match.  They almost went out of bounds but the official didn't stop the match and as they came back in his opponent took him to the mat at the buzzer for two points and a 6-5 win dropping Jack into 4th Place.

 Coach Moss was very pleased with all three wrestlers as they worked hard and listened well while they were on the mat.
