The Trojans Varsity team traveled to Denver for the Lincoln Invitational Tournament. Unfortunately, Christopher lost his first match by points (2:6) and therefor was only able to take 5th place at best. Chris accomplished that by winning his remaining 4 matches. He got chop-blocked in the third match, hurting his right knee, but was able to finish the match, pinning the kid. In his 4th match he re-injured his left knee (the knee with the meniscus tear from football), but again was able to stay in the match and win by pin. Christopher, had one more match to go and somehow (after "Motrin, icing, and elevating") pulled off another pin to finish 5th (out of 27 schools). Christopher is now 27:6 for the season!... I am very proud of him for staying in the tournament with all the odds against him. That took a lot of heart...
