These are from the Varsity wrestling match a couple of days ago and as you can see there was one bout that truly was action packed. Its not common to get shots like that and wanted to share the love because they were so fun to take.
Enjoy...

Our son wrestled in High School and refereed for years afterwards! So, of course I found these to be very enjoyable!

Very good, especially #1.
Thanks buddy! I guess wrestling isn't as big elsewhere as it is in Oklahoma and I'd blame OSU's stellar wrestling heritage.

Fantastic shots Jim - you really captured the action well!!!
Thanks buddy. I was a sports photojournalist stringer for the paper which gets one a lot of practice.

Did you shoot in between 70 and 200? Asking as I shot mine with 85mm prime from floor of gym and could have used something longer. My next choice is a 200 mm prime, but thought that may be too long to get shot.

This particular shot was at 70mm FL (105mm adjusted for crop lens) however I always try to fill the frame leaving just enough room to correct vertical/horizon alignment and crop.
I zoom in and out depending on their location/distance from me to try to keep them centered since it has the least vignetting, barrel distortion, and is that lens' sweet spot when it comes to sharpness

Thanks ! Very nice indeed. Paul
Thank you, Paul! The next time I'm going to up the ISO to 3600 and make the SS 1/500th which should remove the motion blur I'm seeing. - Jim
