Well the wrestling season is almost coming to an end. We just had the tournament that Minico hosts, and it was a fun one to see. Ian has apparently been eating well since the last tournament, because he had gained 1.3 pounds, which qualified him for a larger weight class. So we were sure he would have a tough time with the bigger and older kids he would have to wrestle. We were so proud of him and his work that he put in. He had to fight so many times from his back to get out and eventually win the match. At the end of the day he ended up in third place with a bronze metal. He is just loving this sport, and really likes his coach. He is already looking forward to the last tournament this weekend.
Here is Ian with Coach Stimpson
Being that the kids were a little bigger and older, we noticed that he displayed a little more of the things that he has learned, rather than just muscling guys to their backs. Here is Ian and Tarrel, the kid that took 2nd place. You can really see the difference in size in this picture. The thing that was really neat about this tournament is that there were lots of Minico kids taking home the metals.
Here is Ian showing off his nose plug. His coach told him, "Now you are a true wrestler finishing a match with a bloody nose." By the way he did win this match!
