Joshua takes 4th in New England Wrestling Tournament!

WOW….coulda knocked me over with a feather. Of course, after this past week of feeling yucky, that was easy. But still……Joshua came in 4th….in a 6-state wrestling tournament for kids in grades 1 through 8!!!! The awards are done by age and weight. Joshua was in the 5th/6th group, and the 113 lb. weight class–there were something like 60 teams from 6 states, and something like 44 teams at his age/grade. WOW!

The two boys from our area who WON the Maine State championships came in, in their respective categories, 4th and 3rd! WOW…..what a showing for all of them, but I’m especially thrilled for Joshua–his season has been a “learning” season, so he’s been frustrated when he loses because the other kids know more moves, and when to use them. This medal has done wonders for his confidence, and that’s a good thing. And we’re grinning a lot around here!

Another cool thing…the local “wrestling club” (the coaches and boosters) ordered up t-shirts for this tournament with the names of the middle school kids who were scheduled to compete (alas, about 6 didn’t make it…some couldn’t get rides to Portland, 2 hours south of here, where the tournament was held). Joshua has not had the shirt off since receiving it on Saturday! Way to go Joshua (and guess what camp he wants to do this summer…yeah!)
