Update from Coach Clint: 2/2

• Thanks to all of you who helped make this past weekend such a great weekend of wrestling. Here are some highlights:
  Ten high schools battled it out in the Cornell University Duals before the Cornell match. Congrats to Pal-Mac on defeating Greene for the #1 Division 2 State Ranking

• 4,500 fans watches our Big Red battle #2 Iowa State. The match would not have been nearly as exciting without all of you wrestling fans there! Although we didn't win the overall match, we had some great moments, including two outstanding victories by FLWC Alums Troy Nickerson and Kyle Dake.

• Sunday concluded with an FLWC practice of epic proportions! We had 80 wrestlers in the Friedman Wrestling Center, and fortunately FLWC coach Eric Toftegaard and FLWC coaches/ NCAA Champions Jordan Leen and Zach Roberson were there to help.
  The Youth contingent of the FLWC continued Monday with a Jamboree practice led by FLWC Assistant Coach and Ithaca Pee Wee Head Wrestling Coach Eric Toftegaard. Another 60 youth wrestlers piled into Friedman for two hours of drills, wrestling and games.
  

The fun will continue. The Big Red Takedown Tournament will be on February 20th, and 12-noon. This event is open to all wrestlers 8th grade and under. More info, and the pre-registration info can be found on the attached flier. Pre-registration is HIGHLY recommended, and will save you time to the Tournament; payment can be made early or at the door.

As you all know by now, we continue to have practices every Sunday as we close in on the post-season, and that includes this Sunday. The Super Bowl doesn't begin until after 6:30. I will make sure that we get done by 4:45 to make sure you all get home for the festivities.

Finally, the Spring Post/Freestyle Season is near, and we I will be providing the spring schedule in the coming days. Look for Sun & Tue practices with some competitions mixed in.

That's all for now. I hope to see you and good luck as you move into your postseason tournaments!
