MYWAY SOUTHWEST http://mywaysw.com Dedicated to Southwest Michigan Wrestling Thu, 05 Apr 2012 23:14:59 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 2012 State Finals http://mywaysw.com/2012/03/29/2012-state-finals/ http://mywaysw.com/2012/03/29/2012-state-finals/#comments Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:50:39 +0000 admin http://mywaysw.com/?p=832 Congratulations on another great season Southwest Region!  A special thanks goes out to Don and Amanda Amm, for all the hard work they put in pairing and running the tournaments.  Also, Tyler Dodson, for doing an awesome job in his first year as Head Referee.  Also thanks to Tim Bradley for all his hard work.  Finally, to all the refs and pairers whose names I don’t know, remember that we couldn’t do these tournaments without you.

On to the results.  This year the Southwest Region had 11 champions.  Congratulations to them.  I’m sure this is the result of a lot of hard work, as well as some sweat and tears along the way.

For those that made it to State, but didn’t place, hold your head up.  It’s not the end of the world.  Redouble your efforts and come back next year, ready to bring it on!  I’ll leave you with this quote from Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States:

“Far better is it to dare mighty things to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure…

than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much,

because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”

Until Next Year…CYA!

Chris

Also, as a reminder, if wrestlers must have competed in at least 2 tournaments in order to attend regionals.  This week is obviously the last week to make that happen.

This is the 5th Open tournament of the season which means we are at the 1/2 way point.  It’s been a pretty good season so far, so lets keep things rolling at Niles.

Two weeks in a row in the northern part of the region.  Allegan always has a well attended tournament.

UPDATE:  My first impression of this tournament was that it went very well considering how many wrestlers were there.  Over 600 is pretty darn good.  The 1st session ran like clockwork and 2nd session started just after 1 pm.  That takes a lot of hard work on the part of the MYWAY staff, as well as the people running the tournament.  Let’s hope subsequent tournaments just as smoothly.
