This past weekend was Jons first ever Greco Roman meet.....it also happened to be the STATE Greco meet....kinda funny. Well there were only 2 kids in his weight class wrestling Greco and only one kid in a weight class above them, so they combined those 3 kids. Well........he lost both his matches, but still got 3rd place. The first match I missed, but he lost by points in 3 periods. The second match I got on video....it was against the kid who was 5-10 lbs over Jons weight.

He also wrestled Freestyle in the same tournament (which can make for one tired kiddo), and he did VERY well!! He took BRONZE, and we were very proud of him. Pretty much the only ones who are showing up to tournaments these days are the BEST kids, so each match is challenging.
His first match was against his buddy Laine. He beat Laine at his very first meet, and hasn't been able to beat him since.....until Saturday!! They are a good couple of boys, and we are excited that Laine is also going to Pocatello this summer!!

Match #4 was against Sammy. He is from Tucson, and we have only seen him twice, but every time, he takes 1st. He is really good, but we were so impressed with how much better Jon wrestled against him this time, compared to last time. He is making great progress!!

Jon has only one regular season tournament and that is this SATURDAY at Desert Vista High School. It is the State Freestyle Tournament, so it should be a good one!
