Half way!
We are officially half way through wrestling season.
The boys wrestle two styles, Folkstyle and Freestyle. Freestyle will continue until the beginning of May. Folkstyle is what we have been doing and this weekend was state folkstyle. It was held in Casper Wyo. and there were (as always) a TON of kids. We have a great team, and a lot of participants from Torrington. 34 kids from our club went to state this year, 16 of them went on to the championship rounds. We had 4 1st place medals and several 2nd and 3rd place. Overall Torrington Wrestling Club did excellent and we are all so proud of our team kids.
Jaysen had 25 kids in his 8 and under 60 pound bracket. He wrestled 5 times saturday and won 3 lost 2. That put him out for sunday with no place, but he has improved so much over the last couple weeks, he wrestled better than I have ever seen him wrestle and he was also very proud of himself.
Brock had 29 kids in his bracket, 8 and under, 45 pounds. He wrestled 6 times on sunday and lost once, which put him in the championship rounds on sunday for 3-4th place. Sunday he wrestled once and lost leaving him in 4th place of 29 kids!!! He was pretty disappointed that he lost since thus far in the season he has not been beat, and only been taken through 3 periods a couple times, but it is a good lesson learned... no matter how good you think you are, there is always someone better, and that in every match there is a winner and a loser, and you have to know how to deal with being both.
We had a great weekend, and I am looking forward to seeing how the kids do in freestyle! Jaysen likes freestyle a lot better, so he is also excited!
If you are interested in seeing more pictures from State Folkstyle, there is an entire album on my facebook of all the kids in our club wrestling. Check it out :)
Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful spring like weather!
