Wrestling 2015-2016

Lil' TK started his last wrestling season with the Mankato West Scarlets determined to make a difference...and he did. Through hard work, determination and a will like no other, he ended his last wrestling season with an almost .500 record and being named Most Improved Wrestler by the coaches. He made it into the 2nd day of rounds at Sections, which he had never done before and hit each milestone he set for himself. Wrestling is not just a sport, it's a life lesson. And it's made Lil' TK the man he is today.

Coach, Lil' TK and Zach Sanders - U of M wrestling stud and someone Lil' TK was super excited to meet.

Decisions

The beginning of Senior Year for Kels and Lil' TK was spent discussing, visiting and deciding on a college. After visits to schools, visits to school counselors and visits to visiting schools AT school....the kids found their heart's desire. Kels fell in love with the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. The beautiful campus in the heart of the big city felt like home. After a tense couple of weeks waiting for the a response, she got the t-shirt she'd been waiting for. Of course, Big TK loves the mascot name...Tommies.

Lil' TK found the University of Sioux Falls through a rep that visited West and after a fun day of touring, decided this is where he should be. The Christian Liberal Arts College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota has small class sizes, a beautiful campus but more importantly...felt like home. He took the initiative and applied online before telling Ang and Big TK and was thrilled to get his acceptance letter a few weeks later.

With the "where" decisions and deposits made, the next decision on the list is housing...which dorm and who to room with.

Both kids will have cats as their mascots and will be sporting purple and white starting next fall - one for UST and one for USF. Ang is tickled the "twin thing" showed up....however unintentional. ;o)

Camp

Lil' TK took off for YoungLife Camp in Lake City, MI on July 25th. 3 weeks of volunteering to help out the camp as they treat hundreds of YoungLifers to the "Best Week of Their Lives". It's work...up at 6 am everyday to make sure all the yard work  and activities are ready, help with serving meals, clean up and setting up special programs/worship services for the evening. Sleep is in short supply but new friends are not.
