This past weekend we spent some time watching and cheering for Ronnie Wardleigh as he wrestled in a Tournament in Box Elder. Jake and Jackson love to spend time with Ronnie and were both so excited to see him wrestle.
Ronnie is probably the best in the State of Utah in his weigh group, and rarely looses a match. He won the 2 we watched on Friday and so on Saturday he had a final match (which he won 17-2) before his Championship match.It was real neat to watch him at the Championship match. They turn down the lights and it is just the 2 wrestlers on the mat. Ronnie won this match with a PiN!!
Jake and Jackson were so happy for Ronnie. He did so GrEaT!! As soon as Ronnie came over to sit with us after he had won, Jackson ran up to sit with him. It was fun to get such a cute picture of them both. While I was waiting for the match to end, before the trophy presentation, I took some shots of the group. Fun Memories!!
After the trophies were handed out they announced the awards for the Tournament Wrestlers (which are awards that are given by all the coaches at the match, they all vote on which wrestler they feel is the best in each weigh class) Ronnie was awarded that honor for his weigh class. It was awesome to see. Ronnie is such a humble and grateful kid. He is such a great example to my boy's as to what a young man should do, how he should act and speak, and what kind of respect you should have for everyone. He is one of a kind, and we are so lucky to call him our friend.
Congratulations Ronnie!!
