Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Rocky Mountain National Duals

what happened with the kids on the front side on the tournament

Not going to generate much interest if people who can't go can't find out any results, and pay-per-view streaming in this economy. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

Bullhead you are right, but I bet everyone from the team is sleeping right now.

I concur!

Anyone from the trip awake yet? I can't talk to Albers and find out because he's in school! Apparently they frown on cell phone use in class.

If anyone has a list of the placers we're all itching to see it

We had 8 finalists that counted towards points. I believe 15 total placers.
Kansas got 1st as a team with 144 points 2nd was 122. We had an amazing weekend with an enormous amount of quality wins and huge upsets. In 3 separate weights we had both of our guys in the finals. It was a great weekend for Kansas as a whole, putting a beatdown on anyone in our way at the tourney. Any further questions I didn't answer, Chief can clear them up

Would love to see individual results for the Kansas kids! Anyone able to post those for us? This event got a TON of hype on this forum and I look forward to the Individual Results! Help us out as soon as you guys wake up!!!

Trackwrestling obviously bombed!

Well.... I just woke up! We drove all night and arrived at 6am in Prairie Village. I will have much more detail later but this was one of my favorite wrestling trips! We won the team title that we missed last year to add to the Dual Team title. The over 6 foot trophy was incredible. Each of the four champions that we had brought home a four foot trophy!

Most of the brackets had near 50 kids each. Many state champions and multiple timers. Let me make this point VERY CLEAR. I am commited to this event and will make every effort to award the All-Class wrestlers by inviting them to join these teams in Colorado. The duals will get better and better. I predict we will see 32 teams in the duals before too long.

Three finals matches involving our own guys:

106 - Dakota Leach over Trey Francka 5-4

170 - Matt Reed over Blaine Hill 1-0

285 - Will Geary over Nathan Butler 4-3

I will post more details later but here are some finishes that I remember:

106 - Leach - 1st
106 - Francka - 2nd
113 - Price - 2nd
113 - Howell - 5th
138 - Ochs - 3rd
138 - Hughes - 6th
145 - Blackwell - 3rd
152 - Johnson - 2nd
160 - Guillen - 4th
160 - Albers - 5th
170 - Reed - 1st
170 - Hill - 2nd
182 - Meck - 2nd
182 - Lowe - 3rd
182 - Weddington - 6th
195 - Castlebury - 3rd
195 - Herl - 4th
220 - Bean - 1st
220 - Taylor - 3rd
285 - Geary - 1st
285 - Butler - 2nd

It looks like 4 KS guys won it.

Jared Johnson ended up getting 2nd

Bryant Guillen ended up with 4th @ 160.

Thanks John. I forgot about the challenge match he won. He should have won the thing! Wish we had that semi match back. He was a blast to watch. Nobody throws a better headlock in transition than him!

Thanks Larry! Bryant had some huge pins. He's also a guy that is a major entertainment to watch. Great to have him join us on the team!

Looks like Ochs got 3rd at 138.
