This 2008 team is looking like our strongest chance at a top 3 finish since the Enid team's 4th place. Is there any thoughts about emphasizing Freestyle over Greco to give our kids the stamina to peak at the end of the week?
I hope these guys are ready to go:
Vesta
Ornelas
Slyter
Callahan
Furches
McCormick
Tanenbaum
Maple
Graham
Noblet
Napier
Means
Nelson
Caldwell
Isenberg
Henes
Flynn
Watson
Detmer
Koehn
Elliott
Cotton
Bach
Disney
I also hope we get a big fan base making the trip to OKC. If you haven't been to a Junior Dual event, you should schedule a family trip. Downtown OKC is a great destination with the river walk and plenty of attractions. Check out

When are junior duals and how and when are the teams decided
The Junior Duals are in OKC on 6/30 through 7/4. The Coaches are Mike Garcia and Scott Rieck. The FS/GR State Championships are on May 10th in Junction City and will HELP the coaches determine the team members. The ultimate roster decisions are at their discretion.
What is the age for Jr Duals? If you will be attending the southern plains camp will this be a good way to "try out" for the team?
Age and Weight Classes - 2008 To participate in the Junior Division a contestant must be born 09/01/1988 and after, plus enrolled in grades 9-12.

Hey dont forget the alt's!on that team like myself! :-P and current college AA James Fox!
You are right Chase! Along with Tyler Gonzalez and Tait Weatherbee. With a strong HWT, we might have been in the finals!
Yea I forgot those guys too .. and jeeze Tait was one of my roommates :-S
that 2005 team was a really cool team to be a part of, especially when you are'nt really sippose to be there. I was only a sophomore, and still had one more yr of cadet eligibility. It was a great time.

How many of these guys have been wrestling FS/Greco? Heck with these guys we could almost have 2 teams if we were to pick a few more up. I always hear of kids who want to wrestle on the team but for one reason or another don't. Hopefully this year we pick up some additional guys. Someone at the other forum, The Mat, has already mentioned the team from the Park Hill thread over there. I also hope that the wrestlers will all do what is best for the team, which means, if having to cut a little, or even bump up a weight, then they do so. It is time we look at the team concept for the summer season, thankfully Park Hill gave us a good taste of what may come.

It's time for one of our Dual teams to crack the top 3!!!!
2001 was the highest finish for the Junior Freestyle team. I think that we got 3rd place, maybe 4th.
Can anyone identify this Kansan from 2002?
Yes!
Incorrect. Yes was a progressive rock band formed in 1968. Any other guesses?
