Wrestling Season is Nearly Over....


So Bill is down to 150 lbs from 175 lbs for his weight class and Mike is down to about 168 lbs from 190 lbs for his weight class........

....As bad as that may sound, it's a good thing that wrestlers today are given a bottom line minimum weight that they cannot drop below for their own safety. In this photo, circa 1975, Brad, who looks completely emaciated, had dropped from 160 pounds to 115 lbs! Yikes! ...and I think his hair made up about half of that weight!

I will be glad when the season is over.

Cathi!!! Thanks for your comments on my blog. I'm so glad I found yours!! Wow, we have very similar lives! I have a wrestler...and it is a wonderful sport, with its down sides! And I saw your post about BYU-I...how fun! And I also loved your posts with the cute artwork. AND, I LOVE your house! We've been gone from the island for ten years, and I remember where you lived then. Where is your house now? I'm guessing you bought land and built...

Well, I'm glad we got back in touch. We are definitely having some similar experiences with our families right now. I'll be following your blog, and hopefully our kids will get to know each other up at school.
