Thanks guys! At times I wonder whether anyone back home it "watching" but I know that you are.
As I look back, I am filled with emotion from the past few days! First, the anticipation of experiences to come, the hopes of the athletes, the uncertainty of doubt, and whether expectations can be filled.
So many of the worries have been taken care of by the Elvin's and Gary Ulmer and I hope they know how much that means to all of us. At least we were returning to familiar ground for some of us!
I recognize that there are a few of you back in Kansas who wished you could be here. I hope through these reports I can ease some of your worries.
The young men were here to wrestle and over all they did that well. I have to feel for Jacob Wagner who couldn't compete because of an injury. And I have to be so proud of one that accomplished his ultimate goal. Jordan Keller was able to achieve what 28 other Kansans had dreamed of.
Most have already left and on there way back to Kansas. The rest of us, leave in a few hours.
I am hearing reports of some pretty severe storms so I hope all are safe!!
Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
