Nicolai wrestled in his first varsity match yesterday. I arrived ten minutes before the scheduled start time and unfortunately the meet was already underway and Nicolai (in the lightest weight class) had already completed the first period. At that point he was leading 2-1 but soon fell victim to fatigue and lost on points. He fought off two pinning combinations with the heart of a lion and I was very proud of him. Kyle is now off crutches and walking gingerly. On the recommendation of his chiropractor he is going to have an MRI to rule out a torn muscle. With no time to set up my camera for Nicolai’s match I have no pictures of him so I am substituting one from later in the meet of one of his teammates executing a nice suplay.
