Last night the boys had their first wrestling meet of the season. The 4 younger ones all are on the team now so, basically, if we're not there....a third of the team is gone. Coach told us to stay healthy. HA! This was Tanner's first time out ever. He's been loving practices, but a meet is a whole different thing. I really wasn't sure if he would go or not. I was a tiny bit thinking he might say no when they told him it was his turn. But....he didn't. He got up on that mat facing an equally small guy and took him down and pinned him in about 30 seconds. It was hilarious! He was smiling, practically laughing, during the whole thing. I think he was really loving all the cheering for him. In all fairness, his "pin" he got on the guy came when the other little kid basically just layed his shoulders on the mat. Tanner didn't excatly have good form on him.....but hey, we'll take it. He's officially hooked. Tony wrestled next and went all 3 rounds without a pin, but beat the kid by points, so that was great! Trae also got his guy. He could have had him pinned about 6 times, but he kept putting an arm under the kid's neck and it got in the way. He even had him in a cradle hold (that's a really hard move to learn and excecute, but if you can, it pretty much ensures a pin) where I think he had him, but it didn't get called. He beat him by a score of 16-4 though, so that was awesome! Timmy won his match as well with a pin. It took him about 30 seconds to get that, so that was an awesome round for him. He actually had a second match that was an exhibition and won that as well. That was funny too cuz he is friends with the second boy he wrestled and they were kinda smiling during some of it. We were sitting by that boys dad and laughing cuz they were having a lot of fun out there....still trying and wrestling hard....but having fun.
