Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Freestyle/Greco Kansas Coaches in Fargo-Thank You

I just want to thank each and every coach and dignitary that spent 14 days of their lives away from their families, homes, etc. This has now been three years as a Kansas National Team Coach for me and have no doubt that you men that I coach beside are some of the best minds and most dedicated men in the sport of wrestling in Kansas.

Cadet Staff:

Tom Peterman- Great job organizing and putting together equipment, practice schedules, and all other behind the scenes activities.

Russ Hermrick- Your technique sessions and coaching ability are second to none. Your ability to scout opponents and knowing the who's who of wrestling is amazing.

Brandon Jobe- Great job coaching up the young men and preparing them with your leading of practices and warm-ups.

Dennis Charbonneau- 16 years on staff at 2 weeks a year means you have spent approximately 32 weeks away from your wife and youngest son for the sport of wrestling. Your technique and work ethic shows in your coaching and I am happy to get to learn from you over the 6 weeks we have spent together!!!

Peter Seriant- Thanks for compiling all the film so we can put together this DVD!

Junior Staff: Mike Garcia, Scott Reik, Austin Devoe, Cody Garcia, Clint Slyter and Richard Fergola. Great job with the Junior's this year! It was a pleasure to pick brains, discuss stories and coaching strategies over meals, and learn from all of you.

Cadet and Junior coaches combined are some of the greatest compilations in wrestlting minds that this state has ever seen! I would go to battle with anyone for you guys at anytime.

Good luck over the next calendar year and look forward to our next trip! Thank you again for everything!

Coach Church

I agree coach Church. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in. You are a great motivator and technician. The discipline you instill in these young men is vital to their success.

Thank you to all the coaches, directors, dignitaries, and volunteers who donate so much of their time away from their family and friends. I enjoy every minute of every day I've spent with you.

You guys did an awesome job and the kids wrestled their butts off! Kansas has alot of good wrestlers who did not go, but the guys who did were one of the best behaved young men I have ever coached, we did not have to send anyone home on a bus early.
That was nice. Those guys earned everything they got.
Only returning all-american was Tommy Williams who becamed a Double All-American placing 8th in Greco and 7th in Freestyle.
Other placers: Freestyle Javier Vieyra 6th in Freestyle and Greco: Brandon Charbonneau - 8th, Chase Sanchez - 7th, Nick Pursel - 8th, Eric Mason - 5th, and Leo Beck 7th, The big boys came one match from placing in Freestyle they worked like true warriors.

Coach Peterman

It was a good time and my Ultimate Frisbee Championship is on growth again!!!!!

Tom Peterman

You can only win ultimate frisbee when you don't get choked out by an opposing coach in the middle of the field... Right Charby!!! That's worth 14 pts haha
