Milo Wrestling in Carlisle

We took the boys to Carlisle to wrestle. Milo doesn't wrestle at every tournament. We take him to smaller ones -- just to get his toes wet. He is only in Kindergarten -- he's got several more wrestling years ahead of him. He is improveing. This photo is of him getting a single leg take down. YEAH!!! Great job Milo.

He got to chose which position he wanted to be in.


I'm sure he wasn't thinking it would end up in THIS position -- getting his head stuffed. Yes... that is a move. The "coach" gets to go along side the mat and give directions. Well -- as you can see from the photos -- there are several coaches... plus the fans in the stands all screaming... so in order for the wrestler to hear you -- you really have to hollar the directions. Dan loses his voice pretty quickly - so the boys can't hear him very well. That is why I sit along side him and just repeat every thing he says -- only LOUDLY. Funny...This week-end I was screaming at Mansel -- "Stuff his head... stuff his head." He did and he got then scooted his hips on around, and apparently that's a good thing. When his match was over his dad said, "Way to stuff his head." Ü I was thinking -- "What in the wide world are we teaching our boys?" LOL

But what ever works.

Here is Milo -- proudly sporting his 4th place medal. (Oh yes -- there are only 4 places). But never mind that... he LOVES that medal!!
