FYI: Joe Johnston, former Kansas High School wrestler, who wrestles for the University of Iowa, pinned the returning national champion from the University of Minnesota last night. Congratualtions to Joe and the Iowa squad.

JB, Les, and Tom
Thanks for your comments. Joe really had Carver Hawkeye Arena rocking Friday night. 9,000+ screaming fans jumping up and down, hugging each other. It sure brought a big grin to his Mom and Dad's faces. I asked Joe what he was feeling at the end of the match, and he said "Pure Joy".

I went to a double dual meet at SM North three or four years ago. My nephew was wrestling for SM North that year. Lawrence and SM East were the other teams. When I returned home, I told my wife that SM North had a couple of good wrestlers, but that this Johnston kid from SM East was a real good wrestler. Boy, Husker Fan, what a talent scout you are! I guess I should have alerted the Cornhusker wrestling program immediately.
I want to echo the congratulations that everyone else is giving to the Johnston family. I know all East Kansas especially the Johnson County area is very proud of what he is doing. And thank you for sharing Joe's reaction after the victory, John. I don't often let my sixth grade son on the forum, but I am going to have him read that. Wow, pinning a National Champion in front of all those people. What a victory!
