El Lardo Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 3rd at 145 and not even ranked before the tournament. I guess it's good to go unnoticed sometimes... Congratulations to this young man, hopefully you can get Jiggy his first state champion next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Surprised more people are not talking about this.... Giffen had an amazing weekend.... to get 4th at semistate and then end up placing 3rd in the State finals is an incredible achievement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 He sure picked the right time to peak. Griffen was one of the top bracket busters on the weekend (there were a few in the quarters especially). Sure the rankings didnt account for him but he was prepared to preform and earned his state finals placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished fourth at Semi State and ends up placing third at state as a sophmore in the heavies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished fourth at Semi State and ends up placing third at state as a sophmore in the heavies. he is from Jay County.... and that makes 2 wrestlers who placed 4th at semistate, then came back to place 4th or higher at state.... wow!!

UC1980 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I believe that he placed 3rd in the Franklin County Sectional behind House and Fellers. Maybe one of the toughest weights at any sectional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
