I actually thought wrestling the finals all the way through is a lot better, the atmosphere was great and it didn’t drag it out. In the past the breaks for podium pictures cause a break in the action / atmosphere; people leave and it drags out the finals by easily another hour….the finalists have been in there all day and most would say the sooner they can wrestle the better. The wrestlers that end end up wrestling the last matches deserve to have a full arena that is still focused on the wrestling. We took some podium pictures but the reality is that the professional photographer is really the only one getting great pics. To us it it’s worth paying for the professional picture to document the accomplishment.

Last year parents couldn’t get down to take pictures during the podium breaks!. 4A has always had the best podium pictures in IMO with the back drop etc…. Nice work !!!!
