Heavyweight Champion!

Logan has been waiting for this meet all season. He's had a few disappointing matches, but has done great, and his coaches have been pleased with his progress. Had a scare earlier in the week when he sprained a shoulder, but took good care of it, and was 100% by Thursday. He won his first 2 matches on Thursday to advance to the Championship round Friday. Personal note. The only difference between watching your kids wrestling and watching them at swim meets is there's not the eye burning chlorine stench, and no girls competing. Back to the match. Logan's opponent had been undefeated this season, and outweighed him by 30 lbs.

One thing that's obvious from all of Logan's matches is what a great and magnanimous sportsman he is, and how much he respects his opponents. What's not all that obvious is his faith in his Heavenly Father. After the match he said he "prayed about 35 times". I told him that one good one should have worked just fine. I think back to Niner leading her relay team in prayer on the middle of Hayward field before a race. Anyway, We're way proud of Logan for all the work he's put into this.
PostScript. After the meet last night, he was invited to wrestle for the High School squad today. He just had to pass a hydration test. WAH WAH WAH WAH. Logan flunked his first urine test........................
