WRESTLING!!!

In case you all didn't know, IKWF (Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation) and IHSA (Illinois High School Association) wrestling is a BIG DEAL for me and my entire family.
Currently my nephew, Jordan, is ranked #5 in the nation in his weight class (171) and has over 100 wins under his belt and only 1 loss (to reknowned wrestler Mike Benefiel during last year's IHSA state finals)
My nephew, Jack, who is in his last year of IKWF wrestling (with the Richmond Wrestling Club)and will become a Rocket Wrestler as a freshman next year. He won 1st place in the IKWF state championship in 2005 & 2007, and third in 2004. He is having an awesome season, and today was no exception - he won all 5 matches at the CLW Vermillion Open in Crystal Lake, IL!

Wrestling is TRADITION!

We are now coming to a close on the 2007-08 IHSA season and are on the road to the State Finals in Champaign, IL.
IHSA State Finals are held in "The Space Ship" - Assembly Hall.
This is our 4th year taking that long trip, sitting on the edge of our seats, watching some of the most brilliant young men in the state vie for the title of STATE CHAMP!
We've been very lucky to bring that title home with us two times @ 152 & 160# (courtesy of Jordan, of course!) and we are hoping & praying for Jordan to bring it home one last time before he starts his collegiate career at the University of Illinois (Go Illini!)
If you'd like to see how Jordan reacts to his local celeb status, read this and you will agree with what his grandparents have been saying for years: He's a good boy! - lol!

So, keep these wrestlers in your thoughts and prayers!

Happy Fibering!
