Once again, we are sending an elite Greco team to Oakland, California on May 18th-21st. Our own James Cook will be leading this year's team to compete against awesome international competition. Last year we competed in some wild emotional battles against Bulgary, Sweden, Norway and others. Along with the competition, our guys got one on one instruction and matside coaching from members of the USA Greco Olympic team!!!
We have received interest in filling one of 12 weights from, Koelzer, Treaster, Carney, Gomez, Nirschl, Porsch, Cokeley and Lautt. The weights are 108, 115.5, 123, 130, 138.6, 145, 154, 164, 174, 190, 216 and 285.
The GREAT news is.... through donations, the fee for this lifetime experience is only $125!!!! That includes airfare, lodging, entry fees, coaching and team shirts!
Wow...
Space is limited and the final team is by invitation. Let me know your interest. You can text my cell at 913-484-3624.

Such an awesome experience! Between this and Fargo, they were my two favorite experiences. Competition and location are second to none.

Keegan Slyter would be the guy I would think. If not Spangler or Baker would be great ones as well.

Brett Martin was streaming on Facebook but his phone stopped. We won the first dual against Scandinavia 28-27!
Ethan Karsten dislocated his elbow but the trainer popped it back in fast. Likely done.
Partial results:
Martin lost
Phippen won
Treaster won
Nirschl won
Karsten lost by injury
Cokeley won
Lautt won
Curd won by fall to clinch the dual
Lance lost
