This picture is to give you an idea of how well attended these wrestling tournaments are.
Therin trying to get his first pin in his first match in less than a minute.
This was Therin's second match. The kid from De Soto was very good and very technical but Therin was determined and just kept taking him down (scoring 2 points); the De Soto kid would escape (1 point) and Therin would take him down again and again. The matches were 3-1 minute periods and Therin was very tired at the end but victorious!
His last match and 2nd pin of the day.
After Therin was so successful, we joked that part of our strategy was looking very unsuspecting. All these little kids had wrestling shoes and a lot of them head gears (which we'll get Therin next year) but Therin looked like such a farmer-t-shirt under his singlet, colored socks, street shoes and no headgear. We were very proud. Now Travis is pumped to take Therin to another meet in Cashton or Caledonia the 20th of March.

The question is does Therin want to do it again? He looks good and a trophy the first time out!
Congratulations, Therin! It must have been fun for the family to cheer for Therin. Most importantly, have fun doing a sport you can share with your Dad. Can I come next time?
So incredibly proud of you little buddy! :)
