Wrestling...

Cody worked hard to earn this match. Yesterday, he lost eight pounds. EIGHT! He weighed in at 140.0 - exactly what he wanted. I'm sure I don't have that kind of determination, and I'm pretty proud of him for being so focused (even if I don't understand the logic).



It's clear in the next two photos from the first period Cody (in red) has this guy pinned. He had him that way for quite some time, but couldn't get a mat slap out of that referee.

With only a few seconds left in the second period Cody was pinned. I know he was very disappointed, but I was very proud of him. The coaches are very pleased with his hardwork at practice and are letting him go on the Kodiak trip. This trip is expensive as they fly so not everyone gets to go!
Here's the sign outside the school as we were leaving.
Balmy, isn't it?! :)

My son just started wrestling and he is a sophomore. I enjoyed looking at these pictures to get a glimpse of the sport. I've never been to a wrestling match.
