Yesterday, Brad, Noah, Tinsae and I took Muluken to Amherst for his very first wrestling meet. And, oh what fun we had!
We arrived around at the school around 9am and met up with Maggie, Mason, and Casey. (Cody arrived after the first match) Muluken quickly got his wrestling shoes on and started to goof around on the mats with the other WF wrestlers. We waited for the brackets to be posted and then Brad and Casey went to find out where the boys would be wrestling. Mason and Muluken wrestled on mat 4 but were in different groups due to their weight. (Muluken weighs a whopping 48lbs!)
Muluken was able to wrestle 3 different times. He lost his first match 6-8, won his second match 13-7 and his third match 9-6. He tied for first place and did AWESOME!!!!
Brad, Noah, Casey, Cody & Mason all coached and cheered along the mat, while Maggie, Tinsae and I stood on the bleachers (& yelled a little!). THANKFULLY, Casey & Cody were there to actually "coach" Muluken and tell him what to do. They were so proud of Muluken, but I think I was the proudest of all! I don't know if I will ever be the best "wrestling mom", but I sure was happy for my boy!
Brad got some awesome shots of the wrestler!
