Aztec Wrestling Nation Newsletter #3 2021-2022 12/20/2021
The month of December is moving along as expected, methodically and slow, as we develop and hone kids into the wrestlers who will defend our state title in February. This week started out with an unforeseen cancelation of our dual with Farmington High School due to snow. This event will be rescheduled in January. We then traveled to Window Rock, Arizona for a individual tournament that was plagued with unanticipated problems. Holding out three of our better wrestlers didn’t help the situation but compounded the problems that took place while there. With an attitude and mindset that the month of December is purely a learning opportunity, we came away with one Champion who was voted outstanding wrestler and several place winners to back him up. We also had one Champion on the girls’ team who was voted outstanding wrestler. With team scoring handled in a way that as a coach I’ve never seen before in a team tournament, we finished 5th out of 22 teams. Our girls had a strong showing with 8th place out of 24 teams.
