Team kansas competed in the Schoolboy/girl national duals this past week. I wanted to give a big thank you to all the athletes who competed in this event. I have helped coach this event for a number of years and have been team leader for this event the past two years. Kansas is well know for having hardworking athletes who are respectful and represent their state well. This year has been no exception. Our athletes were extremely respectful to all and worked as a team extremely well!
To all of the parents. Thank you so much for supporting team Kansas and allowing your wrestler to join us in this event. I know the kids had a great time, made memories, and certainly got better at wrestling. Their was definite growth in every wrestler on this trip.
A big thank you to our coaches on this trip, Thomas Williams, Reese Cokeley, Aaron Rusher, and Charles Newman. Without the hard work from these coaches, this trip would not be possible. Thank you for the work that you put in for the state of Kansas.
Thank you to Will Cokeley and James Bilby for the support and help in bringing these kids up to Indy again. I know with continued support like this, Kansas wrestling will continue to develop and get better!
I have had a blast on these trips and have created many memories with our states best wrestlers. This was my last year organizing this trip and I will be stepping down. Currently, Cedar Taylor has offered to step up and organize the trip next year. I know he will be looking for help next year with the trip. Please, if you are interested in helping with the event next year, let me or Cedar know. Without support from parents, this trip would not be possible so please continue to show support with this event.
Thank you and GO KANSAS
