The Upset, the Hug, and other Things

I have appreciated the leap since Mark Schultz leaped into Andre Metzger's arms after beating Ed Banach. Never saw it in print though. This year Mark Hall's leap and Cael's smile were priceless. Thanks for this post.

Our HS heavyweight clinched a dual meet win this year. After shaking hands, he ran over to his Dad who, by this time, was standing matside. Wrestler leapt into the air, attempting the wrestling equivalent of the ice skating swan lift. Dad, wholly unprepared for the leap, tried his best, but couldn't quite handle the 285. Both went down in a cloud of dust. What a great moment, despite leaving a body imprint on the gym floor.
