Tournament of The Champs

Our lives right now seems to be consumed with wrestling.  It is sad to think that this is Colby's senior year, but look forward to seeing what he does with his life as he embarks on a new things.  Colby is doing really well this year.  He was picked for Allstars for a third time.  Unfortunately he lost his match, we had to take him to the emergency room the night before because his stomach hurt so bad.  We wanted to play it safe after what happened last year.  I wonder if he would have won the Allstar match if he hadn't been sick all weekend.  Oh well, I thought he did wonderful anyway.  He wrestled on Wednesday, Thursday and then it was the Tournament of the Champs.  32 teams came to compete from Utah, Wyoming and Colorado.  Colby one his matches on Friday.  He had 2 and pinned both wrestlers.  Then that night he was sick, he threw-up all night.  I felt so bad for him.  He had 2 matches and made it to the finals.  He went home to sleep and try to feel better.  Finals began at 5:00, Colby was still really sick.  He had to wrestle a kid from Payson.  He had beat this kid on Thursday by a tech.  The match was terrible.  Colby was really sick and at one point had to stop to throw-up. Then he went out and threw the kid in overtime and one the match.  He amazed me that he could do something like that after throwing up.  This is the second time he has won Tournament of the Champs.  He won it when he was a freshman, took 2nd his sophmore year and junior year.  Great job Colby.
