REMINDER: All Senior Classic wrestlers are asked to have a youth escort for the announcements. The escort could be a youth wrestler from their club, a sibling, family friend, etc. This is a tradition that Carbondale's Bob Cairns started years ago that the KWCA would like to renew.

The meet will begin at 7 p.m. at the Topeka Expocenter on Thursday, March 24.

A youngster will walk with him out to shake hands with his opponent as they are announced. The kid could be a relative or family friend of Kenny's, or perhaps a youth wrestler in the local club that may be there for the Kids State weigh-ins. I hope this helps to explain.

KIT - I believe there is an admission charge fr the Senior Classic per our agreement with the Kansas Expocentre. It's like $2 - $4 to get in. I'm will try to confirm the amount with the Expocentre and post it on the web page.

The admission fee to the event is $3.00 per person. Kids wrestling in the USAW Kansas Kids State Championships tournament with an arm-stamp, certified coaches with a current USAW membership card and KWCA members receive free admission (enter thru the handicap entrance).

Leanna, let me (and everyone else) know if this is not correct.
