Instead of a report on tomorrow's snowed out Kanto Finals, here are a few fun facts to think about while making snow angels, snow forts, snowmen, yellow snow*, and so forth (stats as of 5 Feb 2019):
2 - dual meet wins over St. Mary's and Kinnick Infinity - years since ASIJ has beaten those two teams in consecutive dual meets 3 - wins that ASIJ would have lost without freshmen and first year wrestlers 6 - number of Mustangs who have a better record in varsity than JV 7 - different ways to score (not including penalty points awarded); Michiru is the only Mustang who has scored on opponents in every way possible 11.2 - Rin averages more than the 10 points required for a tech fall every time he steps on the mat 0.9 - Rin allows less than a point per match (secret recipe for victory revealed: score an insane amount and don't let them score) 8 - number of different Mustangs who have placed at tournaments (there are only 13 weight classes, and ASIJ fields wrestlers in 12) 10 - most points scored per JV match--Ricky 0.0 - least points allowed per JV match--Ricky, Rin, Zenon (that's right, ZERO average...recipe works in JV, too; they're a combined 14-0) 21 - number of ASIJ wrestlers who have pinned at least one opponent 24 - Zenon has the most overall matches 24 - Zenon has the most overall wins (for the mathematically impaired, that's a 100% winning percentage) 170 - more team points ASIJ has scored than allowed in conference dual meets (238-68, next closest differential was 30 points less)--ASIJ is more dominant in victory than any other team in the conference. Sky - the limit for this team if they double down on their conditioning, technique, and grit in practice and wrestle near their max potential through the end of the season *#yellowsnow is a joke - don't actually make it. However, if you grew up snow-less, ask a snow-knowing friend about the ins and outs of doing it. It's pretty fun and easy to make, and it might be trending in Tokyo if you read this on Saturday.
