3rd Place, Iowa Nationals

Just heard from the boys. They are watching the final match between Georgia and Pennsylvania to see who gets first place. Our team ended up with third at Iowa Team Nationals. To prove the competition, both Georgia and Pennsylvania's teams were made up of all State High School placers! Trenton said Georgia's worst kid placed 5th at Georgia High School State Finals!!!! Our team was just our high school team...it wasn't made up of the best of Indiana (somewhat like Fargo, ND). We were a little worried about Tyler, being an upcoming freshman, his weight (he went 119 but they were allowed 3 lbs. extra), and having some older, more mature and more experienced wrestlers, not to mention this is the second time he has wrestled since coming off a broken ankle. He did mention that he wrestled one kid with a full beard and tattoos! Yikes! Needless to say, they did real well and we are glad for the opportunity to face some great competition nationally. Tyler's record was 3-5 and Trenton's was 5-5. We are proud! Tyler is done now, at least until his season this coming school year. As for Trenton, next stop, Camp for Fargo, North Dakota! Exciting!!!
*** Just heard that Pennsylvania won first place, Georgia took second.
