State Wrestling – Day 1

Before heading back to the Schottenstein Center for the second day of the Ohio state wrestling meet, I thought I’d post some of my shots from yesterday. We had three shooters covering the three-division event. Our primary objective was to get a usable action shot of every local wrestler. There were times when all three of us had three wrestlers we were covering on the mats at the same time. It was a bit of a zoo atmosphere. Fortunately, we got everyone and I can focus on finding features this evening and tomorrow.
