Haden and the Syracuse Jr. High Seahawks are just finishing up their 2010-11 season. And let me just say, I COULD NOT be prouder of my boy! It's been another rough year of wrestling for him. He was hoping to wrestle in the 132 lb. weight class, but found out the NIGHT BEFORE the first meet that the coach was moving him down a weight class to 125 lbs. He had weighed in at practice at 129, so guess what that meant??? Yep, he had to cut 4 lbs. in one night!!! So, that started 5 weeks of being on a strict diet of egg whites for breakfast, chicken breasts for dinner, and protein bars. And dressing in a "sauna suit" and running mile after mile on the treadmill to shed his water weight. And yes, he stuck to his diet up until the very end!! He would have no fluid on the day of the meets until after he weighed in and then he would down a gatorade and eat a protein bar so he would have energy to wrestle in his match.
I really hated seeing him have to do this. He was always super hungry (starving), and I felt bad when we would eat other food in front of him. I am so proud of him for being so committed after getting handed a really shitty deal.
I LOVE YOU HADEN, YOU ARE THE BOMB!!!
Against North Layton Jr High:
PIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Against Central Davis Jr.:
PIN!!!!
This was the thing I loved to see the most:
On March 17, during his match against Legacy Jr., Haden got head butted and it fractured his nose. We waited over the weekend for the swelling to go down and then I took him to see an ENT dr on Tuesday. He told us that it wouldn't need to be reset, but he wouldn't clear him to wrestle for at least 2 weeks which put him out for the season. He did try wearing a nose guard at practice the next day but it was still too painful, so he is done. But, he will still be going to North End Tournament next week to cheer on the rest of the team...GO SEAHAWKS!!!
