Ok. Coming from a mom, w00t doesn’t mean much, but this is w00tworthy.
Whitman Vikings Wrestling won the Mad Mats Wrestling Championship and had 5 wrestlers win the top honors. We had many more place as well.
The most exciting of the many exciting matches was J. D.’s championship match.
J. D. just started wrestling this year. He began practicing a month ago and had his first match a week ago. He was recruited to the team by merit of his size (he’s a heavy-weight — a hard-to-come-by weight class) and strength. Saturday he received a championship medal.
After his win he hugged nearly everyone in the room. What a feel-good moment it was.
Congratulations to JD … and I’ll give a w00t too right along with ya! I enjoyed your Bald Eagle story too. Thanks for sharing ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
storyteller’s last blog post..Look, listen, and be delighted!

Thanks Storyteller. JD is still winning many of his matches. His inexperience is outweighed by his strength and ability to learn (and use what he’s learned) quickly.
