Nicolai was back in action today competing in a quad meet (three matches) at Arlington High School. In his first match, he won a hard-fought decision which went 6 minutes. In his second match, pictured here, he quickly took down his opponent only to suffer another stinger. If you click on the photo you can see the pain in his face. He took 2 minutes of injury time but was unable to continue. Fortunately, he was able to wrestle again for his third match which he won with a first-period pin. Kyle and I spent a good part of the day getting his truck into shape (jump start after a month left in the cold, new rim to replace the unmatched one, new tire and rotation, and a new battery). Maya was scheduled to get a hair cut but food shopping with her mother ran beyond her appointment.
