Wrestling has been so good this year. And also so hard. For the Norton girls, it's most been fantastic. Sarah has made some huge improvements. Her official record in Track is 9-9, but she's won at least 3 more than that, 2 at the Edmonds Woodway scramble which never made it into Track, and 1 at NW Duals that was an exhibition. Libby is 19-3, losing to 2 state champs (one a Utah State Champ and one a WA state champ at Gut check, and one to Winter West, a freshman stud that is thankfully 4A.)
Our girls team overall, though, has been gutted by illness, injury, mental illness, and grade issues. So our numbers are down to the point that we can't be competitive as a team. That's been hard--as we went into this season with VERY high expectations for our individual wrestlers and our team overall.
I guess life is about adjusting expectations, right?
I am so excited to be spending so much time with these girls and the crew though.
We created a really aggressive competition schedule this year--because it was going to be our year. And now we are taking a skeleton crew. But it's still worth it...right?
Sarah's choir also had an aggressive Christmas concert season--3 concerts in one weekend. (Of course also a weekend with a wrestling tournament). It was worth it--she sang beautifully. And the collaborative concerts with the Evergreen Ensemble were especially amazing. (I went to 2 out of 3 concerts.) The wrestling tournament that day was thankfully perfectly timed so I could see Libby take first and then still make it to see Sarah sing!
