Winning his first match by points (14-2), Mudjar then went on to pin his next two opponents with times of :36 and 1:12 respectively.

There were 300 wrestlers (boys and girls) at the tournament on Dec. 16.

The following days, Mudjar competed at the Matmen Classic in Brampton, Ontario, and won gold in the 92kg division.
