Just getting used to being back. As always, this team is a group effort literally supported by dozens across the state. We could not do this without the support of everyone.
We took 4th in Freestyle, the highest finish ever for a KS Schoolboy team (I believe this may be the highest dual placement ever for any Kansas team, someone correct me if I am wrong).
We also took 7th in Greco, tying the highest finish ever for KS.
Friends and supporters that need to be thanked:
USA Wrestling. Mike and Kathy Juby, Leanna Grater, Matt Treaster, Will Cokeley. Thanks for all you do, mostly quietly behind the scenes. You are there when needed and respond immediately.
St. James High School. To Coach Medina, a heartfelt thank you for the hospitality of your great facilities.
To Gonz and Blue Chip, for the cool gear, you guys are the best.
Costco, for their donation. Cortney Taylor, for the great fruit donation. Arrow Bus Lines, for working with us on this trip.
To my coaches: Charlie Knox, Tyler Gonzales, Nick Flynn, Travis Phippen and Tommy Williams. You guys were great, this could not have happened without you.
To those who helped in other ways with our camp: Pete Sierant, Clint Slyter and other coaches and friends.
To our officials: Mark Anderson and Spencer Wilson.
To the parents who helped at the camp, traveled with us and did the thankless jobs of food preparation, cleanup, laundry, misc. errands and whatever they were asked to do, without complaint:
Jon Trowbridge
Dave Hull
Kevin McCall
Tami Porsch
Jeff Butler
And all the others I know I am leaving out, sorry.
To all the parents, family and friends who traveled to Indy with us, thank you as well. We heard you, we saw you and you made this last week special.
Last, to my other team director, for all he did to help and organize, Shawn Budke (and his son Brock). This would not have happened without you, thanks Buddy.
I hope all can go in the future.
Thanks again, Tom Williams
