WEDNESDAY June 23: Wrestling at Kirkland Jr. High
SATURDAY June 26: DEPART FOR TEAM CAMP
The first night of Wednesday Night Round-Robin wrestling hosted by Sabotage Wrestling Academy was tonight and we had five Vikings take advantage of the opportunity to get three matches of LIVE experience!
All the Vikings earned a spot in the Championship round and each wrestled TOUGH!
The match of the night had to be the Kenmore Colt Josh Koukal’s win over the KingCo District 4A Runner-up from last year. An outstanding effort by an incoming sophomore and I’m sure he’ll share the news with big brother Tim too!
The “tournaments” are quite relaxed with spirited competition. No weight classes–whatever you weigh, you’re matched-up with three other guys of similar weight. Singlet or shorts/tshirt–no one cares. NO expensive USA Card (which expires at the end of August anyway). Coaches are officiating and matches go quickly because there’s no rest time requirement. IT’S GREAT!!
And afterward, the Vikings went out for Pizza and watched the Chainsaw get SLAMMED by Kenmore’s World Famous Eating Champion: Paul “The Bottomless Pit” Schulfer! (In 2006, Paul beat Japan’s Takeru Kobayashi’s record of 53.5 hot dogs. In 2007 Joey Chestnut set the hot dog eating world record (66 dogs in 12 minutes)– Coach Schulter took some time off to recuperate and will be getting married this summer. He’ll be back in competition in 2011. See the Major League Eating (MLE) Records HERE))
