Badger Youth Wrestling Club

The big wrestling tournaments started this weekend at the East Troy Youth Wrestling Tournament. It was a 4-man round robin.

The coach giving Carter some pointers before his first match.
Carter's first match was a tough one for him. His opponent was so strong. The boy was a very good wrestler.


Carter's second opponent was also a very strong and skilled wrestler.

In the end, these two boys were last to wrestle from Carter's round, to take first place. It was a very exciting match. Both boys were very skilled in wrestling.



Carter's last match was a good one. He wrestled a boy from Elkhorn and hung in there until the end.

As you wrestling families know, there is so much time in between matches.
Here we are, passing the time until Carter wrestles again. :-)



Bradley giving Carter a "good luck" hug.

Even though Carter won 4th place, he tried his best and came off the mat smiling each time. I am glad he is having fun while learning wrestling moves.......he's a trooper! We are so proud of his good sportsmanship.


Carter REALLY wanted to win the trophy, but here he is with his 4th place medal. :-)


Next weekend, we are off to Kenosha for another tournament.

Way to go, Carter....glad you are having such a good time wrestling!

You can "bulk up" by helping your mom carry in groceries, "pumping milk jugs" (1 in each hand) and things like that. You will get bigger muscles and your mom will love the help!
