Old Coach:
Michael New:
New graduated from Cornell University in 1992 after a successful career in the middle- weights. An All-Ivy selection as a senior at 167 pounds, New dropped to 158 pounds and was an Eastern finalist. These were a few of the numerous honors he received during his wrestling career in the Empire State, where he also dominated in the high school ranks at Canastota High School. New placed third as a senior in the state finals at 155 pounds.
New Coach:
Chris Ayres:
Ayres joined the wrestling squad as a walk-on, where he made an immediate impact. While at Lehigh, Ayres established a new school record with 120 career victories. In his junior season Ayres also amassed the most wins in a single season for a Lehigh wrestler – 39 – in 1998. Ayres exploded onto the scene in his first season on the mat as a Mountain Hawk, picking up wins in 11 of his first 13 bouts. Over his four year career, Ayres never missed a dual match. In the summer of 2001 Ayres placed fourth in the U.S. Senior Open Nationals and fourth at the U.S. World Team Trials. He also finished fifth at the 2002 Team Trials.
A former EIWA champion and All-America during his undergraduate career at Lehigh, Ayres joined the coaching staff in June 2001. During his tenure, the Mountain Hawks claimed five straight EIWA team championships and produced 12 All-Americas and two national champions. Ayres worked specifically with five of the All-Americas in all aspects of training.
Basically the new coach is much better than the old coach! And the Jerseys are sick! We dont wear singlets next year, instead we have two peice spandex shorts and t-shirt. |

In the past week i have become more and more emotionally drained..
This is probably one of the few times ill open up on livejournal, but, for the past month i have felt that my life is slowly just going down the drain. i am losing focus on the things that matter, and i being a dick to people i shouldnt (you know who you are, and i am sorry). I dont know what to do, and i feel so friggin lame, i just wish i could skip the next three weeks and graduate. I dont want any more drama!
So for the people who i have been distant from and have been a dick to, sorry! Thats really all i can say. |

well i guess everyone already knows.. steph and i broke up.. so although i am sad/relieved, i have one major dilemma.. i really need a prom date.. which sucks cause everyone already has dates... and since it is senior prom i feel it is completely unrealistic to go alone... basically i have decided that if i cant get a date by the end of next week... i am trading in my tickets and not going.
man this could not have come at a worse time.. if i broke up with her a few weeks earlier.. i could of found a date.. and if i broke up with her a few weeks later.. prom would have been over.
so today was really hectic.. cause i felt like i had to explain what happened to everyone... and then a few people were like "why did you break up with her.. your an idiot.. you dont know what you just lost".. so now i am just kinda depressed by the fact that i will have to face the daunting task of finding a new date.

I am pretty sure i am going to get kicked out of my house.. so if anyone has room to spare... yeah.... so my mom and i had a major fight today.. which basically started because she was criticizing me... and the way i do things.. so then she started comparing me to other kids (which really pushed my buttons since my entire life she has compared me and my sister to each other, and has compared our faults with other kids)... so i got annoyed with that.. and we just had a major fight basically.. and now she is telling my dad all this stuff... and although my dad is not really convinced that it was solely my fault, he is in the end going to be forced to side with her.. so basically i think i am going to get kicked out of the house for a bit.. which could be a problem...

its really sad how much i miss wrestling.. i am actually getting really depressed about it.. like i cant stop thinking about my new england match and how i messed up and what i did wrong and stuff like that.. i also cant stop thinking about my last match and nationals.. i shouldnt of lost it... and only now do i realize how idiotic i was at new englands and nationals.. i should not of lost either of those matches.. i wrestled badly and i gave up.. at new englands it took sullivan only like 30 seconds to pin me after he had reversed me.. i just flopped there and gave up.. why did i do that.. i have no CLUE! its like i was satisfied with myself for getting 2nd because i had not believed i could of made it that far in the first place... and now thinking about the match, he was not bigger than me, he was not much better than me, i just didnt want it as much as him.. thats a weird feeling for me because after jrob, i have always wanted it more than my opponents (or so i thought)... i just cant believe i ended my season on such a sour note... i really let myself down, my team down, and my parents!

So Travis Roy spoke at the Sports Assembly today and i can say now that he was truly inspirational.. when he talked about goal setting.. it reminded me of my livejournal post from 4 months ago before the wrestling season began.. Here They Are:
Goals for the season (hopefully i can accomplish 2 of these):
ISL Champion
Top 4 in New England
All American (Top 8 at Prep Nationals)
All Scholastic
As J. Robinson says- there is no point in working hard unless you place goals which you cant achieve. (deep huh)
Now that the season is over, looking back, i can evaluate what i have accomplished..
ISL Champion - Check
Top 4 in New England- How bout top 2 - Check
All American (Top 8 at Prep Nationals) - Sorry No!
All Scholastic - Nope (but Dan got it, so its kool - we kept it in the family)
Hey.. atleast i accomplished half, wtver i got two more tournaments left where i can try and accomplish my third goal..

Okay.. so wrestling sucked today! I won my match 11-3 (i should of pinned him), but after the match ended i started to have bronchospasms.. that lead to me having an asthma attack... which later led to me puking over myself (thankfully just the water and gatorade i had drunken)... i guess my bronchitis has not gone away afterall... i am not sure if i will wrestle tmrrw.. it all depends on how i am in the morning.

Well i have bronchitis which is kinda annoying.. when i got home today my mom was all like "your not looking so well" and i was like tell me about it.. so then she sent me to the hospital to waste 3 hours of my time and find out what i already knew.. so they gave me these meds and its supposed to get me better in five days or so.. which better be right, cause if i am not, i will basically become the world's biggest choke artist at new englands! oh yeah! and i havent made a dent in my history essay due tmrrw because!! i cant fucking breathe!!! only good thing in my day was the fact that i am going to the musical on thursday..

National Preps went alright, however, i really got fucked over :)
In the tournament, the New England Prep representative pushed for the top 12 seeding of the Class A champion (heath england - 12th seed) and the western champ (dennis sullivan - 9th seed), however he did not push for the ISL Champ (me) seeding. This really annoyed me because if you look at accomplishments in wrestling, i destroy the Heath England kid (btw he is really not that good). So instead of getting seeded top 12, i was put in a random drawing for who i would wrestle and i got pulled to wrestle in the first round the 4th seed (phil greene - who got 2nd at nationals the year before)..So basically i got destroyed by him, while dennis sullivan lost his first match and heath england made it to the second round)... Then after i entered the consolations, i won my next two matches, only to be put against the 10th seed! I should have given him a tougher match, and i took him to his back but he rolled out. So basically i lost that match and was out of the tournament.. i didnt go to national preps to make top 8 and go all american, but i knew i could make top 16.. and b/c of this seeding i didnt get to..
Overall:
I went 2-2 in the tournament, my only two losses were to the kid who finally got 3rd, and the kid who finally got 7th..
Heath England (the 12th bullshit seed) went 1-2 in the tournament, losing to the kid who got 4th, and a no name kid.
Dennis Sullivan (the 9th seed) went 3-2 in the tournament, losing to two no names.
What pisses me off the most is the fact that since a Class A rep went to represent New England, he only pushed for the western schools and the class a schools.. Because of this guy, it was basically impossible for me to win any more matches because the two times i lost, i lost to All Americans.. i cant fucking wait until new englands so i can fucking tool on heath england.. (england has gone 1-1 vs. stratouly (stratouly was winning both matches, but then got pinned in the one he lost), and i have gone 2-0 against him)

Well i am in Cali right now, pretty chill! I am soo sore... I come back wednesday night and then thursday morning i leave for national preps, so i dont have to go to any school!!! BOOYA!
We had pretty good results at the ISL Tournament:
at 112 woo choi got 6th
at 119 i won
at 125 peter got 2nd
at 135 strauss got 4th
at 152 andrew got 6th
at 160 oshima won
we got 6th out of 14 teams which is pretty sweet seing as we brought only eleven guys (more than half our team placed)
i think outstanding performance goes to andrew because he was a. one of the smallest 152 at isl's (muscle wise) b. he continued to fight even when he was down, and because of that he pinned 2 guys who one would never of thought he would beat
