Personal Narrative: My First Wrestling Team

Improved Essays
When I was in 6th grade I had a wrestling match that i will be happy to remember until the day I die.
It was my last year of swarm wrestling and was the first year our wrestling team had a shot to make it to state. We had a stacked lineup from 45 pounds to heavyweight and we battled our way to the state tournament. We were the first Big Lake swarm team to make it to state. In the first round we wrestled Goodhue, and we wrestled strong and hard against them and were able to come away with the win to advance to round 2. Now we wrestled hutchinson and this team had already beaten us that year but we thought we had a chance to get the win. We were wrong, the beat us handedly. So now we are in wrestle backs and this is where we faced New-London

I was quite proud of how Dominicans were typically great at baseball quite naturally it seemed. However, with this knowledge I became highly critical about everything I did when playing baseball at the high school camps before the baseball tryouts. I did not focus on overall improvement as I tried to ensure that every throw, batting, and pitch was perfect.…
