Wrestle-MANIA

WOW, Saturday was a long and FUN day!! We had an AWESOME showing of support for Jon! Aunt Nancy, Uncle Rob, and Grandma and Grandpa all came out to watch!

Jons first tournament of the season was at Red Mountain High School. Lennie took him down at 8am to weigh in, and then it was a whole lot of hurry up and WAIT! He did not wrestle until close to 11am I think. Nancy was there the WHOLE time waiting. I got there with the other kids close to 10am and Grandma/Grandpa and Rob came shortly after that. Once the wrestling got underway, it was a whole lot of fun and adrenaline.....for Jon AND us up in the stands.....HOLY COW. Jon did FABULOUS!! He put his WHOLE self into it. He was exhausted at the end of the day. Lennie and Uncle Rob were down on the mat with him. He wrestled 3 matches (he was supposed to wrestle 4, but the 4th kid puked before the match and went home). He got a bronze MEDAL!! He is so proud of it! I took pictures of the first match (which he lost, but his coach said was scored incorrectly and he should have won), and video of the 2nd (which he won).

This was a very exciting sport to watch. It is so intense. The kids have to give all they have all the time. Jon, you did great. Can't wait for the next one.
