Hurray for these wrestlers. I personally think that taking wrestling should be a requirment for (Boys and Girls )because of the sacrifice that it takes to be a wrestler. Not only does it build the body but as this story mentions it builds spirit and the mind of these young people ( Boys or Girls ). Wrestling isn't just for someone who is a natural athlete, wrestling can give anyone self confidence and also help build a small body into a one that is well muscled and fit. The State of Utah has multiple clubs that start wrestlers as young as 2 years old and also some very good Jr. High and High school programs on the way to learning an exciting sport.

A wise man once said, as we grow from infancy our spirit grows into our body. But those with Down Syndrome are different, for their bodies grow into their spirits. I think that says it all.
