It's a matter of some concern.

Gary had a real good second day [of wrestling] and improved on last year's performance. He has accomplished a lot in just two years of wrestling.

Our original goal was to finish in the top five and we weren't far off. Overall, it was a successful year. The state was a lot more competitive. The top teams were more evenly matched and it took a lot more points to stay in the top ten than it did last year.

Patrick has had some tough draws at state over the past four years. And he did it again this year, but this time worked through it to place for the first time.

Sam had an excellent tournament for a freshman. He had a real good chance, at one point, of winning the whole thing. The champ basically walked through the competition except for when he wrestled Sam.

I hadn't run the two mile since states so there was a little concern coming in. It's been a while since I've had to deal with the two mile, but it actually felt so much easier (than the 1,600).
