What an exciting time in wrestling right now!!!! This NCAA tournament could not be more up in the air. There is not one Team that is in the top 6 that does not have a legitimate chance. We have all the parinials at the top...Iowa, Iowa State, Minnisota, and Nebraska could be considered the front runners....but only by a half a step....they are going to have Northwestern and Central Michigan right on their heels. Way back in the shadows are Missouri my Cowboys. This is going to be a great tournament with a ton of great wrestling. I can't wait!!

Go Pokes!!!!

Did Kansas have any D1 All-Americans?

Tanner Gardner placed fifth and earned his third All-American award.

Where did Tanner go to high school and which college does he wrestle for now?

I found it - he graduated from Shawnee Heights, was a two time KSHSAA State Champion and a three time All-American at Stanford placing 8th, 7th, and 5th. That is great!
