Club Directors, Coaches, Parents, and most importantly grapplers,

Hopefully the season has gone well thus far! High school state soon in the books, most districts coming up and the kids state tournament around the corner.

Looking for some grapplers who are ready to hit the mat and finish off their folkstyle with a “bang”. 2020 USAW Folkstyle Nationals is a sponsored and endorsed tournament by USAWKS. This event is in Cedar Falls, Iowa at the UNI Dome.

High school level wrestlers plenty of college coaches in the stands watching 2019 College & Universities Attendees: Air Force Academy, Coe College, Concordia University, Ellsworth, Community College, Fresno State, Iowa Lakes Community College, Iowa State University, Loras College, Luther College, Millikin Unversity, Minot State University, Morningside College, Northwest Technical College, Purdue, Simpson College, South Dakota State, Southern Illinois University, Trinity College, University of Jamestown, University of Minnesota, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of Saint Mary, University of Wisconsin-Platteville, University of Wyoming, Waldorf University, Wartburg College, Wesleyan University

Funds are budgeted from USAWKS each season to assist in organizing and subsidizing a group from Kansas to attend this event. I will not know the exact cost until we know the number of interested wrestlers. Based on previous numbers and years we are looking at two different contingents (high school age) and youth (middle school) an estimate cost would be $150 for underclassman and youth. To encourage our seniors for one last folkstyle run cost is $75. We will be looking for coaches from central Kansas and east Kansas based on logistics of course yet if you wanna help please let me know. But we will need some coaches to help of course.

Security deposit: $75 mailed below and made out to “USAWKS”
