This is his first match, his one and only loss.
Well, today was Garrett's day. Regionals are only for birth year 1999 and up. Levi decided he was not ready for it so he sat this year out. Seth was not old enough. So Garrett weighed in at 111.1 lb that put him in the 115 lb bracket. Regionals is not like any other tournament. They do not break you up in 4 or 5 people per bracket. You wrestle everyone who shows up in your weight bracket, double elimination. In other words, you loose twice you are done! Thank you all who were praying, there were no girls in his bracket at all today. So he did not have to forfeit and got to wrestle real matches. There were 5 boys all together in his weight bracket. Garrett did loose his undefeated title though. He lost his first match 4-0 with some dumb mistakes. The other boy did have the advantage of wrestling at least one match before he wrestled Garrett, so he was warmed up. Garrett had a buy (no matches) the first round so he was his first match. He said it will not happen at state when they wrestle again.
Collecting his medal and State papers.
The video below is of his last match. They were wrestling for 2nd and 3rd place. Only 1st and 2nd get to go to State. I forgot my video camera at home so I took the videos with my digital camera which means I got next to none snap shots...oh, well!
Garrett gets to go with his friends Heath and Myles too!
