State Wrestling!

We had an AMAZING weekend at State! 14 of the 21 wrestlers that went made it to the FINALS! Of those 14, we had FIVE STATE CHAMPS!!

Congratulations Jake Sorenson, Jerrit Anderson, Tristan Ha'o, Braygen Tanner, and Hunter Stevens on your STATE TITLES!

 

Congratulations to our runners up (2nd Place): Kaden Dyches, Owen Paulsen, Durke Larsen, Braxton Pickett, Glen Paulson, Jaxon Allen, Kelan Layton, Owen Spencer, and Tezlin Winn.

 

Great Job 3rd Place Wrestlers: Cody Dyches, Keegan Strickland, Ty Ha'o, and Nik Stevens

 

We also want to congratulate Kaylob Olsen, Mac Olsen, and Gage Mackay. They fought hard and wrestled some tough matches!

 

Overall as a team, we finished 6th out of 35 teams, which is pretty great!

 

Here's the slideshow, sorry we missed a few of our wrestlers. Two sessions and two gyms  make it hard to get pics of everyone.



Customize your own picture slideshow WRESTLERS: DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE PICTURE FOR THE PAPER AND THE PIZZA PARTY ON WEDNESDAY! All info for that is in the previous post!

Wednesday, April 1st Activity

Parents:

This Wednesday, April 1st, we're going to have our final Team Takedown activity of the season. We've asked the Gunnison Gazette to come to the gym and get a picture of the wrestlers and do a short write up about the season, and then we'll have some pizza and play some games.

Please have your wrestler to the gym by 5:30 pm, dressed in their singlets. They need to bring all their wrestling medals and trophies that they've collected over the years for the team photo.

Coaches need to wear their coach shirts.

We are hoping to do a small highlight on each wrestler, so we need parents to help out with this. Please come up with a small, (around 40 words or so) paragraph about your wrestler for the paper and email it to Shanelle Winn (swinn1@farmersagent.com) by Wednesday at noon. Here's an example of what you can say in the paragraph:

"John Doe has been wrestling with Team Takedown for 4 years, and has claimed 2 state titles. He enjoys wrestling, baseball, hiking, and hanging out with his friends. John is the son of John Sr. and Jane Doe of Gunnison."

You do not have to use that format, it's just an idea for those who may need help with what to write :)

Your wrestler will be ready to be picked up by 7:30 pm. We are asking that parents just drop off their wrestler and then pick them up after, and don't plan on staying. Our gym isn't big enough to hold all the wrestlers, coaches, parents, and siblings; and we don't need any extra distractions while trying to get them to cooperate for pictures!  We will post pictures on the website, so you'll be able to copy and print them if you would like a team photo, or we can email you copies.

Good Luck!

We just want to wish all our wrestlers GOOD LUCK tomorrow at State! We know you'll do great!

 

Good Luck Wrestlers!
 

 

 

Signed Singlet

Last night at practice, the wrestlers and coaches signed a team singlet to hang up in the gym.

It turned out pretty nice!

State Tournament Information

Here is the flyer for State this weekend. Please notice that they've decided to have two different start times. Pre-K thru 3rd grade will begin at 9:00 am, and 4th thru 8th grades will begin at noon.

Try and be there AT LEAST 30 minutes early to find your mat and warm up.

This Week...

This week we will have practice as scheduled, Wednesday from 5-7 pm. Our tournament this weekend is STATE in Salina! It's hard to believe it's already the end of our season!

For State, you'll need to sign up on Track Wrestling. Click Here for a direct link to register.

We have been approved to host weigh in's at the gym. We'll weigh in on Wednesday after practice, so please be registered before practice so we know who we need to weigh in. If you have other children (or friends/family) who wrestle on a local rec league, or on another team, we can weigh them in and put their weights in for you too. Just bring them with to practice and we'll take care of it.

If you can't make it to practice on Wednesday, you will need to plan on weighing in at North Sevier on Thursday from 4:30-6:30 or Friday between 5-6 pm at the high school.

We had wrestlers travel to Piute on Friday, and Gunnison on Saturday. Congratulations to all of them, they did great!

Piute Results:

1st Place: Kaden Dyches
                 Kelan Layton (1st Place in BOTH 3rd Grade and 4th Grade!)

Piute

Piute is hosting a tournament tomorrow (Friday) for those interested in going. If you want to register, you do so on Track Wrestling. We will have two coaches there to help our wrestlers.

It looks like registration closes by noon tomorrow, but if you are interested in going, I would sign up today.

Gunnison Tournament Info

Here is the flyer for the tournament this weekend. Please notice on the flyer that registration closes on Friday at 2:00 pm. Please be registered by then, there will be no late registration.

On Saturday, please be to the school by 8:15 am to find your mat and warm up.

This Week, Beaver & TUG Results, and the Slideshow!

This week we will have practice as scheduled, Wednesday from 5-7 pm. Our tournament this weekend will be in Gunnison. You register online by clicking here. You will enter your wrestlers weight when you register (just like we did for the Beaver tournament). Again, please be honest. They said they will be doing random weight checks as you get there, and we don't want anyone from our team being disqualified.

Friday, some of our team traveled to the Beaver tournament. Our wrestlers did great! Here are the Beaver results:

1st Place:  Tristan Ha'o
                  Kelan Layton
                  Cody Dyches

** Parents: Just a reminder that we will not be teaching freestyle at practices this year, since we are a folkstyle team. If you want to sign your wrestler up for freestyle, be prepared to coach them. If one of our coaches are there during freestyle, we will be happy to help your wrestler, but if not, you'll need to coach them during the freestyle sessions.

Folkstyle Results:

1st Place:  Kaden Dyches
                 Cody Dyches
                 Hunter Stevens
                 Jerrit Anderson

Since we were in THREE different gyms for the TUG tournament, and everyone was wrestling at the same time, we didn't get pictures. A couple of parents sent in some, so we'll just do the one slideshow showing both Beaver and TUG pictures. Enjoy!

PARENTS: Have pictures you would like included in our slideshow? Please email them by Sunday evening to swinn1@farmersagent.com. Thank You!

This Week's Schedule & Delta and Juab pictures

This week we will have practice as scheduled, Wednesday from 5-7 pm. We have two tournaments this weekend: Beaver on Friday, and Pleasant Grove on Saturday. You have to register online (Track Wrestling) for both.  Click Here  to register. 

For Beaver on Friday, you will enter your wrestlers weight when you register them online. PLEASE BE HONEST! They will be doing random weight checks, and if your wrestler is over the allowance, they will be disqualified. There is not a USA Card requirement for the Beaver tournament. Wrestling begins at 5 pm, so please be there by 4:30 to warm up and find your mat.

We will hand out the flyers for both Beaver and Pleasant Grove tournaments at practice on Wednesday.

We will do weigh in's at practice on Wednesday for wrestlers going to Pleasant Grove. Please note, the name of the tournament is "Pleasant Grove TUG Folkstyle".  Please try and be registered before practice on Wednesday, so we know who to weigh in. You need a USA Card to attend this tournament, and it will run a schedule similar to Juab. The schedule will be listed on the flyer we hand out on Wednesday.

You are welcome to try out freestyle wrestling if you like, but parents will need to coach their own wrestlers for that.  However, we will have coaches there for folkstyle.

Parents: If you take pictures and would like them included in  slideshows, please email them to swinn1@farmersagent.com by Sunday evening after we have a tournament. It's really hard for us to get all the wrestlers (especially if we are in seperate gyms), so it is very much appreciated if you send them in!

Both slideshows posted today have just over 100 pictures. Hopefully you can view all of them. If not, please try watching it from a desktop instead of a mobile device.

Friday, some of our team went to Delta. They did AWESOME! Here's a slideshow from the tournament. I'm not sure on what place everyone took, they didn't post the results.

Create your own free picture slideshow Saturday we were in Juab. Our wrestlers did great! Three of our wrestlers decided to try out freestyle, which was a little complicated, but they still did AWESOME!   Freestyle results:   1st Place: Cody Dyches                  Braygen Tanner   2nd Place: Tezlin Winn   Folkstyle results: 1st Place: Braxton Pickett                 Tezlin Winn                 Durke Larsen                 Jerrit Anderson                 Cody Dyches                 Braygen Tanner                  2nd Place: Ty Ha'o                    3rd Place:  Kelan Layton                   Jake Sorenson                   Tristan Ha'o   4th Place: Mac Olsen                  Kaylob Olsen
