Basically had to go back for day 2 of the state wrestling meet to pick up the scraps, so to speak. Since we got action of all our wrestlers on day 1, I mainly focused on getting features, though I did manage to get some decent action frames.
Shooting the finals was a different beast altogether. There were only three mats set up, and fortunately, I only had four wrestlers who were all in different weight classes. There was a lot of pageantry before the matches started. The mats were actually elevated two feet off the ground. A herd of pro and wannabe photographers lined up shoulder-to-shoulder along the side of the mats opposite the officials and coaches. Unfortunately, I was only one for four in the winner department.
