awww...so happy for this girl. after two seasons of wrestling at McMaster, a couple injuries that set her back, and a determined comeback with lots of grit and bravery on the mat, this girl is off to the nationals in Calgary later this month. her dream come true.
(the pic below was from a Mac organized photo shoot they did of all the wrestlers~ i can't take credit for that one. obviously!)
this weekend she earned silver at the provincials. what a fun day it was to witness~ although completely nerve wracking at the same time.
so proud of you Joelle, regardless of where you placed. such courage required for this amazing sport, and i love seeing that developed in your character.
Adam had an equally impressive weekend, winning four of six hard fought matches to walk away from his provincials with fifth place. his poor muscles where feeling it the next day after so many head to head battles (though he only mentions it if i ask. never complains, this kid). Jeff was with him while i was with Joelle, so i was thankful a few of his matches had been recorded.
Adam has this quiet presence and nerves of steel, and i love what this sport has taught both of them about determination and perseverance. way to work hard Adam!
so fun, the best days...
