I wanted to congratulate all the wrestlers, coaches, refs and others involved with the Idaho State Wrestling Championhips this past weekend in Pocatello. Thinking about how much these wrestlers have practiced, prepared and skipped other activities for dedication to this sport makes me proud of their work effort.

Being closely related to one who was predicted to be the Idaho State Champion in his weight bracket, I felt his agony of defeat as he was unfortunately defeated in his last match, I think every situation allows us to teach, if WE put the effort to do so. I worry about teens who have only had success their entire lives. How will they cope with set-backs and disappointments as adults, if they aren't taught skills as teens?

I'd like to see these group of athletes promoted more in Idaho. Several should considered the JR. Olympic try -outs in CO. Even if they don't make the Olympic Team, the team needs to practice with athletes of this level of discipline and accomplishment. Having the coaches from Iowa and now CO involved is huge, to those involved in wrestling.

Congrats to all who participated. All are winners in my book, if they learned something new this past weekend.
