We attended the Lansing king of the jungle tourny this past weekend. Overal I thought was pretty good other than the awards given to the novice wrestler. The awards given was a super cheap ribbon for all places. I had two kids that took first and another one get 2nd and the look on there faces when they was handed a ribbon instead of a medal was heart breaking. I also seen other kids with the same look when they received theirs. I now they are just novice but they are still wrestlers that put in the time and effort not to mention they paid the same as anyone else. If wrestlers are going to get ribbons then they should go show animals at 4 H and not wrestle.

I did say something when I was at the table and the last gave one of my kids a metal from last year and was a bronze metal.

You guys should be ashamed and embarrassed and should make it right with every one of them. I know you want to make money at the tournys but medals are cheap and by screwing over the novice wrestlers are not the way to do it.
