Congratulations to both Tristian Norton and Wyatt Moore who both placed in the 2008 Kids State Freestyle Championships in Spokane on Saturday, May 3rd.
Tristian (Midget - #65) placed second in Pool B, before crossing over and defeating the Pool A Champion in the semi-finals. In the Championship match he lost a second match against Isaac Romero of Victory wrestling to earn a Silver medal. All of the opponent’s Tristian defeated in his Pool B, went on to win in placing matches and is indicative of the toughness of Saturday’s competition.
