Dexter, Missouri - Travis Waldner looks up to his siblings and their athletic abilities as he is an up and coming super athlete himself.

Travis wrestles with the Jackson USA Wrestling Team.  This past Sunday, he traveled to St. Louis and competed in the AAU Ozark Districts Championship.  This wrestling tournament is noted to be the oldest consecutive running tournament west of the Mississippi.

He was one of 18 kids in his weight class bracket and he finished 5th with a 6-2 on the tournament.  This qualified him for the AAU State Wrestling Tournament which will be held on Sunday, February 24th. Congratulations to Travis on his success!

Awards at the AAU State Tournament will be medals to the top 6 wrestlers in the Gold Division, a trophy to the Champion and medals for 2nd - 6th place in the Blue Division and a plaque for "Most Falls by Champion" in each age group in the Blue Division.
