Tristan placed fourth today at the wrestling tournament at Rayne High School.
He made it to the 3rd place match but had to forfeit due to the five match rule, only allowing him to wrestle five times during a tournament. He lost his first match but battled back to win four more and 4th place overall after a totally exciting and nerve wracking over time in his final match. So excited!!
Tristan was trying to get down to the 120 weight class. He was a little bit over and had to run before weigh in for almost an hour. He was tired for his first match, which he lost. The picture above shows his pin. He lost to a boy from Basile. He actually wrestled the same boy for a place in the third place match. Those pictures are below, but show his last match of the day. They just loaded in the wrong order and there are too many to move. This is the over-time match that was so crazy and exciting!!
Tristan's coaches said that they thought Tristan could have and should have beat this boy in their first match, but Tristan was too tired from running. Tristan did not pin him, but won by points in over-time.
Tristan's second match of the day which he won by pin.
I was so nervous, but he did great! He wrestled a boy from East Ascension High School.
The third match was against a boy from Acadiana High School.
He won by pin.
Getting tired, but staying strong!
I think this was actually Tristan's second match, which he won by pin fairly easily and quickly.
I think this guy is from Comeaux High School in Lafayette.
The blue guy was Tristan's third match.
Tristan did so well today! I am so happy for him!!
