The Elementary State tournament went really well in my opinion. You sign up, you come, you wrestle, you earn the opportunity to represent your state.

I hope the Elementary qualifying tournament continues for years to come. I think the State of Kansas will be fielding four highly competitive teams for the Heartland National Elementary Duals in April. This year's teams should be dynamite and fun to watch! I am so excited for the kids that made it...it's a really cool event!

Thanks to all of the volunteers that spend their time putting this thing together. I am quite sure it's a big undertaking. From the qualifying tournament on Sunday, to singlet design, to travel plans, etc...it's obvious that it takes a lot of time and energy to pull this off.

One more thing...special thanks to the Trailhands coaches (Josh P., Ron and Josh G.) for coaching my son this weekend! He came up short, but it wasn't because of your efforts. You guys were terrific. Thanks again!
