Gilmore's Take: Sparta Kilted Klassic

What a difference a week makes. After a hard week of practice the Medina Wrestling Bees walked into Sparta High School today with a different mindset. The Bees came ready to compete and expected to win, and win is what we did. We scored 275 points and had 10 wrestlers earn top 4 honors We had 3 champions in Ryan Hornack, Matt Hammer, and Mike Kopacz. Zach Getto, Zach Priebe, and Trevonte Morman all earned runner-up honors. JJ Koenig and Jame Duke place 3rd, while Cody Heronimous and Austin Peak placed 4th.
The team really pulled together this week at practice, and it continued through todays tournament. It was great to see everyone cheering each other on and supporting the whole team through all the wins and losses. It was very nice to see that the team really listened and corrected mistakes that were made last week. Our intensity levels, physicalness, and conditioning were vastly improved. This tournament was a great turnaround. We need to continue getting better every week. as our competition gets better throughout the season, we need to make sure we are prepared to compete. Great weekend and be ready to do work starting Monday.
