He won!

C.J. Napier of Columbus, KS (my great nephew) is the 134 national senior champion in wrestling. The kid he beat (with a take-down in overtime) is a 3 time state champion from New York.

Wow, that's impressive. I looked for it on my ESPN channels, but it didn't air today. He must be one tough kid. Congratulations.

I found out this morning not only did he win his weight class, he was named outstanding wrestler of the tournament - over 700 high school seniors from across the country. We're very proud - this coming from a school (9th - 12th) - of just over 400 kids.

It wasn't aired on tv - but I did get to watch over the internet - ESPN360.com. It was quite exciting.

Congrats. There are video clips on YouTube of C.J. in action if anyone cares to view.

That is amazing! Columbus is only about 100 miles out of Springfield, where I live, by the way.
