Mat Classic Results

Congrats to Will Booth for claiming his second tournament title of the season at the Mat Classic this past Saturday.  Will lived up to his #1 seed, defeating the #3 seed Eric Uldall from Vacaville HS in the championship final in dramatic fashion. Check out his finals match here.

Due to the 5-match rule (wrestlers may not compete in more than 5 matches in the same day of competition), several medal round match-ups were not contested.  Because of this rule, David Kim's consolation final opponent (Joe Congrave of McNair HS) was unable to compete, and so both he and David instead tied for 4th place. This was David's first tournament down at 182 lbs.

Also due to the set-up of this tournament, if any wrestler fails to advance to the quarterfinal round, the best they can do is wrestle back for 7th place.  Alex Dornfest dropped a match to the #2 seed, Ricky Coster of Freedom HS, in the second round of the tournament but bounced back and dominated his next three opponents to advance to the 7th place match. Again, due to the 5-match rule, this match could not take place so he and Nick Bray of Vacaville HS had to settle for a tie for 8th place at 126 lbs.
