Wrestling Blogs - Brooks McClintock

Well, not exactly new to wrestling, just still fishy. I started as a freshman at the 215 wt class as a total fish. Weight at 215 and able to go down to 152 isn't something you'd call good fish, it would be chump, the stuff used for bait. I wasn't good at all, but I didn't skip practice and I battled tough wrestlers.

Sophomore year I got a few more wins against people just like me, just in a heavier weight class (285). This doesn't mean I weight 285 pounds, just 240...sometimes. I was in the best physical condition I had ever been in my life. I actually out winded some pretty tough dudes, just lost because of inexperience.

Now this year things have changed pace, I'm 4th seed in my region (or so I believe) and shooting for state qualification. I have a winning record, but not very many matches do to a ankle sprang the day of my first tournament which I defaulted out, went on a break for a week, then practiced w/a brace till after Christmas break. I've gave good people a run for their money and hope to place at state, quite doubtful due to the amount of better people in my weight class but we'll have to see about that.
