Our family head for state wrestling this weekend to watch Brock and two of my cousins wrestle in the state tournament. The kids and I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. We are so glad it has finally come. We got there the first night in time for the kids to swim for only thirty minutes but they still had fun. The next morning Tyler and Elly got up at six to go swimming with my dad and brother, Ammon. The rest of the day was spent at the event center watching the boys wrestle. I didn't take pictures of the first match, but he won the first won by pinning the kid. This was the second one and he pinned him also.
Mason and Reagan were so cute to watch yelling for Brock.
After his second match Drake was giving Brock five.

Brock wrestled a kid from Hanna for his semi-final match on Friday night.
He ended up winning that one too, so then he was in for the Championship match the next night.
It is always fun to watch the family of the kid wrestling. I wish I would have got a picture a little sooner where Grandma was standing up and leaning trying to help Brock.
Some of the family waiting for the finals to start.
My good looking brother, Brock, cheering on his team and waiting for his turn to wrestle that night.
We had five of the Cokeville boys in the finals, James Teichert, Mason Peterson, Brigham Teichert, Brock Teichert and Colter Lindford.

Brock ended up winning this championship match by points. Whoo Whoo!!
This is our family that all drove hours to come and support my younger brother at state. It was so fun and worth the drive to watch him. He is a great kid and so nice. The grand kids all love him and loved being there to cheer for their uncle.

These are the grand kids that were there and uncle Brock.
The kids had to get some energy out after watching that last match. They were wrestling in the hall while we waited for Brock to get his medal.

Mason was so excited that Brock got first place. He wanted to see his medal so bad. So when Brock came up with it he had to check it out.
Our Grandma Teichert, who is 93 almost 94 was able to come and watch three of her Grandsons take state. We all thought that was pretty neat that she could come and be there for that. They had her in a wheel chair so she wouldn't have to walk all the way into the event center in the snow and with all those people. She still gets around pretty good and really is in pretty good health. Uncle Burke came and brought two of his grandsons, Aunt Marlene and Uncle Sam, Uncle Chad and Aunt Susie were also there. It was so neat that they would come and watch these boys.
The team ended up taking second place this year.
Brock with his medal and his bracket. He is now a two time state champion. We are so proud of him. He is one of the nicest kids.
There was a pretty cool article in the newspaper on Friday morning talking about the Teicherts and wrestling. Here is the link if you wanted to read it and didn't get to.
