Fishlake Wrestling Camp

Parents,

Here is the information for another wrestling camp opportunity that was brought to our
attention. This camp is sponsored by the South Sevier Ram Wrestling Team and
is going to be at the Fishlake Lodge June 29th - July 1st. So if the UVU camp
dates don't work for you, here's another option.

This camp is a commuter camp only. That means you will have to drive up and
back daily, and you will be responsible for meals (they will host a dinner for
wrestlers on Tuesday evening that is included in the price, but all other
meals will be your responsibility. The only meal that they'll really need is
lunch, which you could send from home if necessary). If you don't want to
commute daily, you can contact Fishlake (info is on the flyer) to see about
renting a cabin or a camping spot if you want to pull up a trailer or pitch a
tent. Or, you can get with other wrestlers and put together a carpool.

If you've been to a good camp in the past, or hear about one that sounds like
it would be beneficial, please let us know and we'll get the information
posted.

*Going to a wrestling camp is not required, we're just letting everyone know
about them as a courtesy. We will not be attending any camps or doing any
instruction this summer as a team, so anything you decide to do is on your
own. So feel free to put together a group if you would like to attend one or
more of these camps!

UVU Wrestling Camp

Parents:
 
Doug Spencer (Owen's dad) found a wrestling camp opportunity for our kids. It's at UVU in Orem June 8-12, 2015. You have to send in the $125 deposit and registration form BEFORE May 1st, and the remainder of the fee will be due when you check in to camp.
 
If you are interested in going to this camp, please contact Doug. You can reach him by email at out4elk@gmail.com, or by phone at 801-230-4931.  We would like to put together car pools so we aren't all driving individual kids up daily, so please let him know as soon as possible if you will be going so we can figure out carpool schedules.
 
We sent out an email to the parents we had email addresses for, which was most of our team. If you see this post and know another wrestler that might be interested, please let them know about it. Thank You!

Sanpete Messenger Article

Ok, so we have everything smoothed out with the Sanpete Messenger, and they'll be running the article on the wrestlers next week. So that paper will be out the afternoon of April 15th (or the morning of April 16th). HOWEVER... They could not guarantee that they would be able to print the entire thing, because of space issues. So if you can't make it to the Gunnison area and want a copy of the Gazette, please let Shanelle know by Monday morning (email swinn1@farmersagent.com) and we'll send you a copy. If you want to pick up a copy it will be available at Gunnison Market, or either gas station until Tuesday evening (unless they sell out).

If you don't really want a copy of the Gazette, but want to see the article, here you go! Thank you Mark and Jodi for doing a fabulous job showing our town what a great team we have!

Newspaper Article on Team Takedown

The Gunnison Gazette is out today with the article about our team, and the Sanpete Messenger should be out this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Be sure and pick up a copy, it turned out awesome!

**UPDATE** The Messenger didn't run the article this week. We are going to find out if it will be in next weeks paper and let everyone know. If you don't live in the Gunnison area and would like a copy of the Gazette, please email Shanelle at swinn1@farmersagent.com with your name and address. We'll mail you a copy!

Team Pictures & Newspaper Article

Last night we had our team party at the gym. Mark from the Gunnison Gazette came and took some photos of the wrestlers to put in the newspaper. That article will be out on Wednesday, April 8th. He is also going to send it over to the Sanpete Messenger, so it should come out in both papers.

We've emailed out copies of the group photo, plus individuals to everyone that had them taken. If you didn't get your photos, check your junk folder. If it's not there, email Shanelle (swinn1@farmersagent.com) and we'll get new ones sent to you.

The group photo is missing Kaylob Olsen, Durke Larsen, Owen Spencer, Owen Paulsen, Glen Paulsen and Gage Mackey. You guys will be mentioned in the newspaper article, but won't be in any of the photos. Sorry.

Thank you Cody, Riley, J.L, Spencer, and Rob for being wonderful coaches and examples to our children. They all look up to you guys, and we (as parents) really appreciate your time and effort in making our kids better wrestlers and people.

Parents: Thanks for sharing your kids with us. We learn just as much from them as they do from us. This has been one of the best years we've had with Team Takedown, and we hope the wrestlers feel like they've benefited from being on our team!

We hope all the wrestlers have a great off-season!
