The last time I talked to you I had yet to wrestle a college match this season. Now, I am 8-0 with six of my matches won by fall, one by decision, and one by major decision.
I won the Eastern Michigan Open and had a tough competitor in the finals. Tyrel Todd of Michigan was up to the challenge. I won the match by a 6-3 margin, which proves to me that I need to work harder. I was not as dominant as I wanted to be.
This past weekend, we hosted a seven-team dual meet tournament. I wrestled well and earned two falls and one major decision. Our match against Navy was close, but I did not worry about the outcome. I knew that our "big man" would come through. (Dustin) Fox wrestled very well and he came through with a decisive win in the final match. He is just one of four undefeated Northwestern wrestlers.
In less than one week I will wrestle Roger Kish of Minnesota! I want to be an undefeated NCAA champion and this will be my first big hurdle. This match means so much for me and I feel ready. Until next time, I plan on being ranked No. 1 from here on out. Stealing a quote from the movie Talladega Nights: "If you aren't first, you're last!"
Talk to you soon,
Jake Herbert
