Carter's Wrestling Tournament - Mondovi

Carter did a nice job wrestling today at the Mondovi tournament. He is very excited to share that he took 1st place! This is a first time for Carter.

The boy he wrestled in the first round was from Eau Claire (AAE). This was a match full of excitement and surprises! The boy started crying soon into the wrestling match, and became more angry as they continued to wrestle.The boy was doing some "ultimate fighting", as Carter got kicked at and shoved in the stomach at the end of the match.


The boy was quite mad by the time they were done wrestling.
Carter ended up winning with a final score of 8-2. Carter told me that the boy did tell him he was sorry when Carter went to shake his hand after the match. I was glad to hear this.
Carter's second opponent was his good buddy, Wyatt Topper. It was kind-of funny.......when I took Carter to get weighed-in this morning, Wyatt was also getting weighed-in. He was right before Carter. When Carter saw that him and Wyatt both weighed 50 pounds, he told me......."Mom, I hope I don't have to wrestle Wyatt. He's really good!"
When the charts came out, wouldn't you know it....Carter & Wyatt are wrestling each other!
Here they are wrestling, and it was a really good match.

The match went into overtime as they were tied at 6-6.
This is a cute picture of the boys! They were smiling at each other the whole time. Carter won the match 8-6. Carter's last round was a bye.
Thanks Grandma Deb & Grandpa Ken for coming to watch Carter wrestle.

Great going Carter!!!!

It sounds as if you acted very grown up when wrestling the boy who wasn't very nice and then having fun wrestling your friend. You will meet a lot of nice kids while wrestling...enjoy it.

Great Auntie,
Pat
