New Graduate: Josh Howey

On the eve of his 1-year anniversary, Josh Howey got his first handstand push-up yesterday at the 6:30 session.

Josh is one of those kids that have come through worthy of the Mikey Peterson M.I.L.F. award (Most Improved Limb Function). When he came to us last Summer, he possessed that tricky combination of being incredibly flexible and incredibly unaware of what his body was doing in space. But he has been patient and consistent in his attendance, and even got drafted first overall by Elizabeth in this year's Summer draft.

Josh has become a fan-favorite at the gym for both the kids and the parents. He's still squirrly but we've seen his strength and coordination improve a lot, and, from the sounds of it, it seems to be paying off bigtime on the wrestling mat. Hopefully we'll have many more years to come from Josh!
