An amazing accomplishment Ryne. Joining an elite group of 26 wrestlers ever in Kansas! It's been a privilege to have cheered you on.

Congratulations Ryne! Great achievement and we'll follow u as u compete at the next level. Also congrats to your family!

Congratulations!! Thanks for letting us be a part of the ride and witnessing this outstanding accomplishment first hand. (or at least 3/4ths of it anyway)

Ryne Congratulations on the 4 state titles. Good Luck in College. Coach Gonzales

Ryne sure is a team "wrestler", and his work and dedication motivated everyone on that St James team. Congratulations to him, he definitely deserved it.

Is there a list of all 26 of the 4x state champs?

Congratulations Ryne! Good luck at nationals.

Congratulations to the Cokeley and Moeder family from the Williams and STA families. If you want to watch great technical wrestlers then get tapes of Ryne and Taylor wrestle, and if you coaches of young kids want to teach then show them these two on the mat. Their positioning and technique are flawless. They earn their way and make their own luck.

Well young man, you did it!!

Will & Beth,
