Oklahoma wrestling camp

This summer my boys and Bryce went to Stillwater, Oklahoma to a wrestling camp with the Weber High Wrestling team and coaches. They took 3 large vans and drove straight through. It only took 20+ hours. YIKES!! The coaches were exhausted and it took a while for them to catch up on their sleep. It was a 4 day camp, 6 hours per day in training sessions and about an hour of live wrestling/tournaments. The camp was hosted by John Smith and Eric Guerrero. For those of you not familiar with these two, John Smith is a two time Olympic champion and coach at OSU. Eric is a 3 time NCAA champ and was an Olympian in 2004. He is the assistant coach at OSU. Below is a picture with the team including John Smith in the orange shirt in the middle.

The last day of the camp the boys were in a bracket tournment. They wrestled kids from all over the nation. Brayden won 2 out of 3 matches and took 2nd for his weight division.

Tyler's match was tough against a kid from Oklahoma. He lost by 1 pt. in the final round.

Tyler and Brayden are 3rd and 5th from the right side in the bottom row.

On the way home they went through Denver and stayed overnight. They went to a big waterpark the next day and then traveled the rest of the way home. They had a great time, learned a ton, and are looking forward to the upcoming wrestling season!
