High School Wrestling


















What a fun and exciting season Connor had wrestling his first year as a freshman for Jordan High School! It all started a month before the wrestling season started when I told Connor he had to pick something to do in high school like a sport, an activity, a club etc. and we talked him into giving wrestling a try. Connor wrestled one season back when he was six or seven years old and hated it! He said he would never wrestle again, well never say never. Warren started teaching Connor some moves and soon enough Connor was addicted. The season started and Connor started out wrestling 152 and then dropped down to 145 by the second half of the season. Connor had many successes and took fourth in his first tournament and third in one of the last tournaments. He just kept on improving and after a three week rib injury he came back with a vengeance. I started keeping track of his wins because he was kicking every one's butt. The second half of the season he had 11 pins and 4 loses and in Region he won his first two matches and then lost his third and fourth matches. He even had his fastest pin in Region against a kid from Bingham, he pinned him in about fifteen seconds! Way to go Connor the next three years are going to be even better!!
