Freshman Nathan Kramer didn't wait to make a splash.
In his first varsity tournament, Kramer won his weight class. He had to wait quite a while in the Carlsbad Invitational Sat., Dec. 6, but then, wrestling at 106 pounds, he recorded two falls in two matches.
Seeded second in his division, Nathan pinned number-one seed Liam Murphy of Scripps Ranch in 1:18--pretty quick.
Then, in his second bout of the day, he took Vincent Johnson of Mission Vista (in North County) for a fall. His time was even faster: 31 seconds of the first period. Johnson was the third seed.
Not too bad for a day's work, in which he got up at 5 a.m., got a ride to La Jolla High at 5:45 to meet the rest of the six boys who wrestled, then was driven up to Carlsbad for the season-opening tourney.
One minute, 49 seconds. Total work time on the mat.
At the Vikings' varsity dual meet at Lincoln Dec. 11, Kramer won by forfeit. The Hornets had no 106-pounder to oppose him. We'll see about the next meet, Wed., Dec. 17, at University City High.
