Nina finished up her wrestling season early in March. She had a great time and we are very proud of her for having the guts to go out for the team, and for how well it went for her. They had six meets where she wrestled three times in
each meet. It turned out that everyone she wrestled were boys. She won one or two matches in every meet, pinning some of her opponents. Right before her last match, her opponent made some derogatory comment about having to wrestle a girl. This was upsetting for Nina and she was actually crying a bit during the match. I was so proud of her when she beat him! She recently said that she cannot wait for track to start because she is so bored after school now...
Around that time, it seems that wrestling was everywhere. Martha and I saw the movie The Wrestler. Then we went to see our nephew Gus Marker Wrestle in the high school state meet in Denver. Then we learned that the brother of one of the teachers at Martha's school was a start
WWE wrestler! Pretty funny how themes like that seem to emerge in life from time to time.
