It is tournament time in the AAU wrestling world. We made the 1.5 hour trip on Saturday morning in time to weigh-in. Mason had been trying to watch what he ate the last couple of days of the week so that he could maybe wrestle the weight class below what he had been wrestling. He weighed in at 55.8 lbs so we had him run for a little bit to see if he could get the .8 off. Didn't work, and that was fine with us. However, he was a little bummed because the kid that has been beating him did drop a weight class, so they didn't have to wrestle each other. No reason for him to be bummed, right?! Well, Mason just really wanted to beat him so he was bummed that he wasn't going to get another shot at it.
He still had some tough competitors to go up against. A mother always wants to believe her child will do well, but sometimes you just never know. The rule is that the top 8 in the bracket move on to regions. So, I figured he would probably make it to regions. I wasn't prepared to actually have him wrestle the championship match!!! He did so well and we had to wait quite a long time for that championship match to come, as all of the other wrestle-backs needed to take place first.
Needless to say, we walked out with a 2nd place medal!! He did so well and will be seeded pretty good for regions that will be coming up this weekend!
WAY TO GO MASON!!! Good luck at regions!
