Christopher had his Arkansas Valley Wrestling Tournament in Lamar today. It was his last meet for the season, and boy did he go out with a bang!! His first match was very awkward since he had to wrestle a girl! He pinned her pretty fast. I am completely disgusted by girls wrestling!! What a horrible position to put those boys in--it should not be allowed! Anyway, then he went on to pin the guy in his second match. For his final match, he was so close to pinning him the entire time, but couldn't quite get it. However, he still won 12-0, making him the 1st place champ for 132 lbs. (not sure how he ended up in that weight class since he's 128, but whatever). It was so awesome to watch him. He has really done well during this short sport, especially when you consider he had never, not once, wrestled before he decided to go out for wrestling this year.
(Psst...the girl is in the green capris--she got pinned all three matches)
I was one proud mama!
Mom and Dad were able to be there to watch the final match. Jan and Oggie took the three little kids home after his second match so that I didn't completely lose my mind.
Christopher and his buddy Tristan, who also got 1st in his weight class.
How cool! I can't believe how much he's changed in a year. I would love to go to the zoo with you guys anytime! I'm trying to plan a trip down to Granada/Holly area soon. I don't think I have your current phone number. I left a message for someone, so they should feel special. Call me sometime, or text me, so we can meet up! 719-688-6310. Talk to you soon!
