Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Kansas Dream Team

Coaches

We may have spoken in the past I run the Freak Show in Las Vegas and NUWAY in the West as well as being our CA state director. You may have seen me on Flowrestling as we just took 70 athletes to flonationals. As part of building wrestling in the west we have created several events in conjunction with our organization sending large groups to the midwest and northeast.

Memorial Day weekend we have a 3 day event (32 all star team duals and open individual event)that is second to none in the country.

Top Dream teams include OH(12 state finalists and/or champs), CA (6 state champs, 12 in top 3), MI 13 state champs, NY 10 state champs, ID, NV, OR, AZ, FL and more. It will be run like the Clash for the duals portion and the individual event will be 16 to 32 man brackets and is opened up to the whole country. The competition may the best in the country as far as 8-10 guaranteed high level matches over three days. Let me reiterate this is an all star competition so if you think you can get 12-14 top level kids on a squad than it is a great value. If you are thinking of this event for just your team it would likely not be the right venue as the competition is just to tough.

Last year alone multiple time state champs from outside of CA went 5-5 on the weekend. If your serious about wrestling and/or are connected to kids who are serious about facing the best competition in the country this is the right event for you.

Let me know if anyone can put togther a KS team--

its memorial day weekend in Clovis CA and I have 2 spots left for the right two states.

Probably the biggest dual event in the West on Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-26) -- 3rd Annual America's Cup. Right now there are 16 All-Area California teams, 1 California Dream Team, and All-State teams from Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Ohio, and Oregon.

Couple lineups confirmed.
