Weldin's Story


Weldin was in his first wrestling tournament. 

He earned a medal and got to meet some special visitors. His Uncle Petey is a wrestling coach down in Charleston, and his Aunt Hilary recognized Luke Luffman at the meet. She asked Weldin if he wanted to meet some "real wrestlers." 

He did.  




And he got his wish. 

Luke gathered up his ILLINI friends and they posed with Weldin on his big day. Other young wrestlers got their start that day as well. Some of them looking particularly fierce:



Yesterday, Weldin had his tonsils removed. Here's wishing him a successful recovery and a fun and educational journey as a wrestler. If that doesn't work out, well, there's always baseball.
