Owen's First Wrestling Tournament

Owen began wrestling and today was his first match. He wrestled in the Edgewood First/Second Year Wrestling Tournament.


He weighed-in at a whopping 37 lbs. He was the lightest kid in his bracket.


He carbo-loaded before he wrestled on his favorite food from Taco Bell.


Rory also did some carbo=loading of her own.


Here's Owen at the start of his first match...


He got the hang of it pretty quickly...


Owen's first takedown. He won his first match 14-2.


Here's Owen taking down his second opponent...


He almost pinned him. He won 15-7.


He wrestled in a 16 wrestler bracket and he made the finals! He wrestled his friend and teammate Colton for the championship. Ox wrestled hard, but he came up a bit short. He wrestled so hard he lost his shoe a couple of times!


Here's Colton & Owen showing off their medals. The future looks bright for Talawanda Wrestling!


Owen had a great cheering section!


Coach dad was quite proud of his little guy.
