Idaho State Wrestling Tournament






Last week we took Robbie and Kamren to Nampa, Idaho to wrestle. We left Abe and Dave with a sitter, which was nice, but stressful because I have never left them with out their older brothers. So, I was sick from Tues. til Sun. I did not get to enjoy the time as much as I would have liked! That is another story!
Robbie wanted to drop weight to wrestle in the 65 division, and he made it! He tried really hard to not eat any sugar and breads for a week and he did it. Kamren also lost weight, he likes to be like Robbie, but Kamren still wrestled in the 55 division.
Kamren started wrestling at 9am. He won his first match, and his second, then lost his third match...he was pinned! I think that was his first loss in freestlye this year! CRAZY! He then won the next match and took 2nd. It was fun to see him wrestle and all his hard work paid off. He was happy and that is what matters.
Robbie started wresling at 1pm. He has a bye the first round, which ended up hurting his score, but what do you do? He won his first match and his second match, then lost his third on in the second round...he was pinned! I think that was the first time he was pinned in freestyle this year. He won the rest of his matches and ended up placing 5th! He reached his goal of qualifing for regionals in June! He did a great job and we were so pleased with both boys. Oh, did I say that we finished wrestling at 5pm! What a day.
