Wrestling man

Cameron joined the Williston Basin Force Wrestling team, and is having a great time with it. They start them out pretty young in this whole wrestling thing, and he is actually in the third age class. He wrestles as a 50 pound Midget (he weighs 46 pounds, and 50 pounds in the lightest for his age).

At his first meet in Poplar, Mont. he came in second in his class, and this past weekend in Malta, Mont. he took first in his class (in part due to the fact that no one showed up to wrestle in his class...). He also wrestled two "exhibition" matches in Malta, winning one and losing one.

Next weekend Coach is talking about putting him in the next age group down, because there are a lot more 50 pound kids there, he only missed the age by three weeks (darn birthdays!) and its his first year. He could get a bit of awakening there, though, because some of the kids we've been watching in that class have what Coach called "three mean years on them."

The season is pretty short (he's going to be bummed when it comes to an end), so what he has left is a tournament this coming weekend in Baker, then one at home in Williston, followed by the state tournament in Sidney.

Go Cam!
