Trenton takes first in region

Trenton takes first in region!


This has been a long hard year in wrestling. Trenton has been going to a conditinoning class and then wrestling until five o'clock every night and was feeling exhausted. He was running on empty most days and toward the end wanted to just be done / have his life back he said. Christian and I kept trying to encourage him to finish strong. Trenton was not convinced it was worth it. After a few encouraging Roxberry drinks after practice he ended up going to regions and winning. We are so proud of Trenton for not just finishing but finishing strong. We love you Trent and the great job you have done.
