Installment #13 - Awards

Good morning Robinson wrestling fans!

 

I hope all is going well!  Thanks again for all of your kind words over the past few weeks.    There some great things happening in the world of Robinson wrestling.  We are busy planning our off-season activities, and we plan on doing lots of wrestling.  We are also planning several fundraisers.  We have lots of opportunities that are popping up for next year, but they are all going to cost money.

 

We had our awards ceremony last week, and I wanted to share our award winners.  Thanks to alumni Mark Eagen and Mo Harris from K&R Industries for helping us with the awards!  There are so many of our athletes that deserved these awards, and this was the final list on which we decided.

For our state championship, the team has decided to order rings.  I am meeting with representatives from several companies to price out these keepsakes.  If you want to help us offset the costs, please let me know.  I will be reaching out in the next few weeks once a price is set. 

 

Congratulations to the Vannoy family and especially former Robinson wrestling manager Candace Vannoy who delivered a beautiful baby boy, Lucas Joshua Vannoy, on Monday  3/8/2011.  Everyone is healthy and the baby weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. 

 

Also thanks to Carolyn Wester, former Robinson graduate who runs a successful wrestling club in Northern California, for having Jake Smith, Dallas Smith and Brooks Martino out for a week, working with successful coaches and wrestler s at her facility in Palo Alto.  She is a great friend of the program, and we hope to keep the relationship going!

 

There have been some great articles in the paper the last few weeks, and the latest one was in the Fairfax Times about Sam Smith… http://www.fairfaxtimes.com/cms/story.php?id=3116
