Prairie Heights JV Invitational

Today was Tyler's first wrestling tournament of the year. It was individual competition rather than team so Tyler went 130 lbs (one out of 4 that went that weight). He did excellent - he exceeded our expectations of a comeback! He wrestled three times. He teched his first competitor from Northridge (15-0) and pinned the following two (one from Prairie Heights and one from DeKalb County (I think)). We had to wait a round because he had a bye and he was ready for his last match, only to find out (2 hour round and 1/2 hour wait till his bout) that the team had already left the tournament. Tyler won by forfeit. Oh well, we were so proud of him. Coming back from a hard season last year (broken ankle/leg) and working all summer long, he couldn't have given us a better show! Thanks to maw maw, paw paw and uncle Dave who all were able to come watch and support. I was disappointed, however, that the quality of my photos were not the best. I guess it's that switching from football (outside shots) to wrestling (gymnasium shots) that is hard. I'll get the hang of it though. Here are some shots from today...
