Oddly enough, wrestling today was by far the easiest event I've had to do in this internship. Seems weird given that it was a conference championship meet. That is why it was so easy though. Since it was a conference championships we weren't allowed to do any of the promotional activities that accompany normal wrestling meets. That left us with very little to do.
My main responsibility today (besides making sure our poster tables were presentable) was making sure the lower seeded wrestlers were ready to go onto their assigned mat when their match was getting ready to start. Not necessarily hard, but difficult at points when a wrestler was hard to locate. Luckily, the wrestlers knew what was going on for the most part so they made our jobs quite easy. If we couldn't find a wrestler, I would just send my partner in the back area to look for him. Normally only took him a couple of minutes to find the wrestler and we were good to go.
I did meet one guy today that I haven't met yet and I believe it may be good to have a professional relationship with him as I've seen him at many different events. I only got his first name, Derek (pretty easy to remember), but I'm sure I'll be seeing him around.
