Xavier Rivera, a 8U Lt HWT wrestler for Hutchinson kids wrestling club, is his second year of wrestling and wrestles in the novice/open tournaments around Hutchinson. "I feel like wrestling has helped him gain some confidence and helping him make new friends," said his father, Javier Rivera. "I've never wrestled but my cousin (coach Rigo Garcia) did for Hutchinson and he always talked about how wrestlers were a really close group of friends. I guess they know how much work goes into being a wrestler so they have a lot of respect for each other." Xavier has some good tournaments coming up. There is the Battle of the Belt this weekend in Mulvane, which is the winner actually gets a big belt. Then they'll be have sub district, district and state. Xavier will try for novice state next month. Photos and info submitted by Javier Rivera |
