New Ulm Wrestling Meet!

Today was Nick's first Wrestling Meet!! It was our first time at a meet too so we had NO idea what to do or what to expect!! The weigh ins were from 10-11 & then they started with the preschool kids just before noon. I think I got there about 12:30 & not even sure what time it was when the 2nd graders started. We did wait awhile. It was nuts. There were 100's of kids there!!

Nick got to wrestle 3 matches. They take 4 kids to the mat at a time & switch off. He lost the first two matches but did get a pin on the 3rd kid. He did wrestle other 2nd graders & they were near his weight so there were pretty even sized matches going on. You could tell the other kids have a couple of years of wrestling under their belts! Nick did pretty good for his first time out there & not knowing all the moves or what exactly you are suppose to do!

He took 3rd place!
