In a photo finish featuring the top 3 teams in the conference, ASIJ took 2nd at the Kanto Finals on Saturday. An incredible 4 champions and 12 placewinners powered the Mustangs. The final team scores were: 1st St. Mary's - 80, 2nd ASIJ - 76, 3rd Kinnick - 74, 4th Yokota - 47, 5th Zama - 31, 6th CAJ - 14.
In conjunction with the season ending tournament, the JV and middle school Mustangs also competed in tournaments. JV tied for top team score and the middle school had some good and great performances. Leading the varsity crew were Bryce at 108, Take at 129, Rin at 158, and Dani at 215. They all put together undefeated runs against the best the conference had to give at their weight classes, with Bryce, Take, and Dani pinning their opponents in the finals and Rin getting another technical fall (while remaining unscored-upon for the season). Other results: 101: Kaisei took 3rd, only losing to the eventual champion 115: Leon took 4th to provide 3 team points 122: Ira took 3rd, losing a barn burner in the quarterfinals 135: Kai H took 2nd, looking dominant until getting caught in the 2nd period of the finals 141: Ricky took 4th, almost getting over the hump against a Yokota nemesis 148: Luke didn't place, just a couple tweaks away from multiple victories 168: Shawn took 4th, snagging another pin and pushing the champ 180: Liam took 3rd, dropping a winnable one before destroying everyone else HWT: Nathanial took 3rd, repeating his pinning performance from last Wednesday The JV wrestlers gave a glimpse of a bright future. The team scores for the JV tournament were: 1st ASIJ - 49, 1st St. Mary's - 49, 3rd Kinnick - 34, 4th Yokota - 22, 5th EJ King - 20, 6th Zama - 15. EJ King resurrected their wrestling program this year and, although they are not part of the Kanto Plain conference, it was good to see wrestlers from Sasebo back in action (and hopefully competitive at the varsity level in the near future). JV champions were Michiru (129) and Matthew (168/180). Taking 2nd were Aaryan (129), Kaz (135), and Isak (141), while in 3rd place we had Take K (108), Joey (141), Connor (148), and Keibun (158). Overall we looked really good at the tournament. In several weight classes, one match going our way would have brought home the league title; it would've taken just two in any of the other weight classes (very realistic in nearly every case...we weren't getting blown out, just caught). In the coming weeks the varsity team will work on what it takes to flip that match or two to our favor to bring home a team championship at the Far East against the best wrestlers in Kanto, northern and western Japan, Okinawa, and South Korea. The Far East tournament will be held February 13-15 in Osan Air Base, Korea.
