Congratulations to all wrestlers and coaches and welcome back to SNOW!!
For those of you who have never been to an OFSAA Wrestling Championship, this is one of the great views of it.  Taken from the top seats in the Fort William Gardens over the eight mat surfaces and the corral.  This was taken early in the tournament with the first group of girls on the mat.  Too bad I can't duplicate the sound!
Bravo to the Pairing Masters!!
The hardest working people in the whole building were the pairing masters and the corral workers.  It's not easy making sure that everyone is in the right place at the right time, and they did a great job of it.  And they are all in great shape now from running up and down that stairs and from one end of the arena to the other. 
The lady in black is Nicole Quenville, and the lady in red is Diane DesChatelets, both from NOSSA.
