Matt Kippenhuck has been chosen as this weeks Athlete of the Week
his performance at the 2010 CIS Wrestling Championships in Calgary.
Kippenhuck had a busy first day of the tournament; having to
wrestle three matches on Friday. Kippenhuck was in tough early, as
he was matched against eventual silver medalist Ryan Blake of
McMaster. Kippenhuck would drop all matches on Friday, but not
without a fight. Not giving up the fall in the first round of their
matches, the Charlottetown, Labrador native wrestled through two
rounds with each opponent. The fourth year competitor would then
wrestle for 7th and 8th in Saturday’s match. Going up against
Ben Rowbothan of Brock, a team with 13 CIS team titles, Kippenhuck
knew his match was going to be tough, but not out of his reach.
Wrestling through two rounds, Matt lost by one point to result in
an 8th place finish. Although the season ended in a sour fashion,
Kippenhuck has shown many improvements in the competitive level of
wrestling over the course of the year, and have gained the
experience to make further improvements for next year.
