1st Place----Yeah TYLER!!!

Tyler had a great weekend of wrestling at the Magic Valley Classic (Jan 15 & 16). There were 24 wrestling teams that came to Wendell to participate. Last year, Tyler took 5th place at the Magic Valley Classic. On Friday night, Tyler wrestled 2 times for a total of 1 minute. He pinned the 1st guy (from Valley) in 14 seconds. He pinned the 2nd guy (from Garden Valley) in 46 seconds. Saturday morning, he pinned a guy from Firth in the 3rd round. Then, he was on to the championship round! After three 2 minute rounds, the score was 1-1, so they went into a 1 minute overtime (1st point wins). No one scored, so they went into double overtime (sudden death, which is two 30 second rounds---both get a chance to score). During the first 30 seconds, the other guy got a 1 point escape. During the second 30 second period, Tyler chose down and did a switch for a 2 point reversal and held on to win! Watch the video below to see the final seconds of the match (make sure mute is ON---sorry---excited Mom recording).

NIIIICE! Congrats to Tyler. I didn't get to watch him in Hailey since he only wrestled once and it was nearer the end. I had to put my kids to bed. :) But David got to see it - I heard it was a fairly swift pin. Sweet!
