Jake Sowders went 1-1 on the day having to injury default out of the tournament when he separated his shoulder in his second match pinning his opponent. Jake still finished in 4th at 157. Jake Eklund finished his first ever wrestling tournament in 5th place. For a kid who had never wrestled before he held his own in his first two matches.

Our two young wrestlers Joe Tipp City Turner and Nick High did not place in their competitive weight classes but showed a tremendous amount of promise. The Rockets took several bumps and bruises but showed a lot of heart. Now its time to get back in the room and earn their way to the top of the podium.
