Well, we finished the 2010-11 season on Saturday at a meet in Caledonia, MN. Practice has been over for two weeks but Therin was in fine form, crushing his competition (and they were very good wrestlers). Travis and I were a little shell shocked. Travis had taught Therin the 3/4 Nelson and Therin tried it in two of his matches but didn't have it quite tight enough. He finished the day in 1st with 2 pins and a win by a tech fall (16-0). It was impressive, a great way to end the season.
The tallest trophy yet. Grandma asked if we were going to need to build a shelf for Therin's trophies, at this rate, maybe a room!
Therin and his biggest fan. Kya is so supportive and proud of her brother. She enjoys going to his wrestling meets and never complains about the hours we spend at these tournaments. We all feel lucky she has such a great attitude about it!
After we got home, there was a package from the Cornell Coach, Mike Duroe, in the mailbox. I was so impressed and appreciative that he sent Therin the hat he promised and a note. It really makes an impression and motivates these little guys. I am excited to say the 2012 DIII Championships will be in La Crosse again next year; so, I'm hoping they put the clinic on again. We sent Coach Duroe a thank you note.
Therin finished the season 12-3 with 4 or 5 pins but as always we are most impressed with his hard working and humble attitude. Keep it up Bud!

Therin- congrats on the great wrestling season! Note to self: do not agree to any sort of wrestling challenge by you! Perhaps we keep it to fort building and snowboarding. Great job buddy!
Awesome season, Therin. You should be very proud of your many accomplishments this year. Could you read the letter the coach sent with the hat? It looks very cool too. I bet that trophy you won was very heavy. As for Kya, I bet she is checking out the boys at those meets already. She is a smart cookie herself!
Way to go Therin! I enjoyed seeing you and your trophy on Saturday.
So proud of you Buddy! Sending a big hug your way!
