wrestling

[ghetto7o2azn]

i started wrestling this year since im a freshman and had my first tournament about 2 weeks ago and got 1st place... im in the 112 weight class.... just wondering if anyone else here has wrestled in highschool or college and how well you did... i like it and think i will be sticking with it all 4 years and maybe into college as well... comments?

i wrestled last year... i went 32-11. not bad for my first year i guess. stick with it for four years you'll defintely be a lot better if you do. don't think your going to get a scholarship to college just for winning one tournament your freshman year, keep working hard and keep winning and you never know. what state are you in?

[ghetto7o2azn]

obviously im not going to get into a college just for winning a tournament my freshman year... but i do think i have a future in it.. im currently 5 - 1

[kornflakes28546]

well, you never told me what state your in, some states are much more competitive than others... you're not going to know how good you really are until after your sophomore, or junior year in high school. wait and see how you progress, but keep working hard.

well im in las vegas nevada right now... i kind of have a head start since i started weight lifting a while ago... if u didnt already look look on the "how much can you lift" thread...

anyone else wrestled here? i thought more people would have wrestled or is it that much of an unpopular sport...

[kornflakes28546]

its not an unpopular sport, this is just an unpopular forum. it seems nobody is ever in fitness and nutrition. im trying to get some more people in here.

[ghetto7o2azn]

yeah same here.. but since most of the people in here are guys i would think that there would be quite a few people who have wrestled in high school

well i forgot to mention that i made varsity and yesterday was my first varsity tournament... i won all 3 of my matches which puts me at 8 - 1

ill try keep updated and hopefully other people will reply on their experience

i wrestled all through school and you can get a scholarship by winning one tournament your freshmen year. its called STATE!! i wrestled in Oklahoma. and anybody who knows anything about wrestling knows Oklahoma State is to wrestling what Oklahoma is to football. 100% Dominant. It IS the most competetive state. more people from Oklahoma win nationals then any other state.

Have you guys heard of Simley High School...in Minnesota? i think we're ranked like 9th or 10th in Nation...im in wrestling but some how some caught "herpies" while wrestling...so thats why i quit...for now...

[kornflakes28546]

a buddy of mine got herpes on his arms mostly... he's pretty sure he got it at the state meet 2 years ago(they don't appear for 1-3 months after infection)... wrestling is a pretty gross sport when it comes to skin diseases but if you sanitize the mats properly you shouldn't have to quit because of it

[TapouT]

yeah tell me about it. I got ring worm from wrestling lol it sucked so much
