I'm guessing I've probably mentioned before that we're kind of a wrestling family. We traded cold, wet fields (not my favorite) for cramped, sweaty gyms (still not exactly my favorite, but definitely better) long ago and have really enjoyed our adventure into the world of wrestling.
No time for big details, but it has been a great sport for our boys and we've really enjoyed them working hard, enjoying some great wins, and picking themselves up after a tough loss.
2015 was a great year for both Porter and James (don't seem to have made it out with pictures of the "youngers" so P and J are the only ones making an appearance here).
Porter was too old to participate with our club team, but won district champion for his school!
James also dominated at school (although, as a 6th grader, was unable to compete on varsity or for a district championship).
He also did amazing on his club team (which is a much higher level of competition), and went all the way to districts! Many of the other competitors do year-round wrestling--which we've opted out of--so get a lot more experience/coaching. That said, James didn't get as high as he would have liked on the podium, but wrestled hard and did an amazing job!!
