Some may call us crazy but we packed in the car yesterday about 5 pmish and headed out for Chi town...Elmhurst, Illinois to be exact. To surprise Trenton at his dual meet. Trenton had to go 149 lbs. this time around because of an injury to the starter. This would be a big meet for Trenton as Elmhurst was ranked #8, North Central at #12. This meet would pretty much seal the deal for CCIW champions. All of this played into Trenton's nervousness. I know 149 is not his favorite spot because he ends up giving up so much weight in the end. It is truly amazing to see how much bigger the guys are at 149 then Trenton is. But, he stepped up and did his part for the team. Trenton wrestled a senior from Elmhurst being recognized last evening during their "Senior Night" with a record of like 12-2 for the year. We knew it'd be a tough match but Trenton wrestled as well as he could have with being smaller (weighed in at 145 lbs.) and a roughed up knee (bursed bursa sac) - he lost 2-12. The team stepped it up though, and put Elmhurst in their place leaving the team score 25-14! A good win for NCC. We brought Trenton his favorite sweet tea (2 gallons worth) and I baked 2 1/2 dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies all for him because his birthday is Sunday. To see his eyes get big and light up when he saw us walk in to watch was priceless...absolutely PRICELESS. And his text to me afterwards saying "it meant alot to me that you guys came" just verified our craziness to go. It may have been midnight before we got in but it was well worth it and I would do it all over again.
