Heartland USA Elementary National folk style duals

Does anyone know if someone is putting a team/teams together for this. The link is below.

Heartland USA Elementary National folkstyle duals 2009
Good competition and close to home. I know AAU does this in Tennessee and gets like 30 teams.

I have a 5th grader 75 lbs that would go if someone puts a team together.

I may have a 3rd grader (88lbs) and a 5th grader (95lbs) that may be willing to go if Kansas has a team.

I am willing to HELP put a team together. Who all is willing to go/help to/with this? I feel that we as a state could really do well a this event. Email me at JasonWyattWood@yahoo.com. I will get ahold of some others here in KS that might have an interest in going to this.

I have a son thats 6th grade 65lbs that would be willing to go also.

Sounds like things are getting put together.

Team Illinois is planning on coming. Iowa is trying to put something together as well as Kansas, SD and ND. Nebraska will have 3 teams competing.

Any of you guys have connections down in Oklahoma? Maybe try and contact them, I'm getting no responses.

I will HELP also but have never worked on a state wide team before. I would love to get a Kansas team to compete and show our younger wrestlers off.

Jonny Trowbridge 3rd grade 60-65 lbs would be intrested
913-314-4529

I have a 3rd grader 55-58 pounds who will go if we get a team

Chase Reynolds 3rd grader 8U 70 would be interested. Jon if you go maybe we could car pool or follow each other. PM me for details.

Iam in and will help - 5th grader 80lbs

kolton is interested. 55# 3rd grader

I have a 100# 5th grader that is intrested just need more details....

It looks like we have enough wrestlers interested, and people that would help, is there anyone that will take the lead and take on putting things together? I know that sounds bold and I should be stepping up, but this is the worst time of the year at my work. I could go and even drive if needed.

look people. i have the 3rd grader at 140. and yes kansas represents well at the youth level. i can help put things together.

So is Kansas still working on teams for this event. Minnesota is bringing 2 teams and so is North Dakota. Nebraska will have 3 teams and Illinois is bringing 1 team. Oklahoma is bringing 1 team. Iowa and missouri still working on a team a piece.

Sure hope Kansa can put it together. Not far from home for a national dual tournament run by USA wrestling

Who do we need to get in contact with to see if we are taking a team. Have a Kid 6th grade 90/95 lbs that would be interested

If you are interested in a 75 or 80 lb 6th grader let me know. Hunter would probably enjoy going to this event.

how do we find out if any one has taken this over Khamin 6th 65 would like to join the team.

Did Kansas get enough kids for a team yet? Cagen Wallace (Greater Gold GC) would like to wrestle @ 50lbs, 3rd grader.

Kansas could put together a heck of a team. Christian Bowen's dad was talking about it with me, and I know he wants to see it happen. They have to be no older than 6 th grade I believe. Off the top of my head, and these are only kids that I've seen do well in the tourneys I've been at. I'm sure I've missed plenty of kids that may be as good or better:

50 Mason Turner
55 Boo Dryden
60 Christian Bowen Tanner Smith
65 Zack Eck
70 Cole Moses
75 Reno Hughey, Dakota Rodd?
80 Chuckie Schmidt Hunter Roberts?
85 Lonnie Finney Landon Wood? Justin Onwugbufor?
90 Kendall Biddle
95 Brett Moon
100 Price-Rose Hill??
105 Clayton Duivenvoorden?
112 Spencer Tracy?
120 Joe Williams?
130 Nick Nece?
140 Tommy Marquez

With the popularity of the Middle School duals, someone needs to take this and run with it and make it a yearly thing as well. Any of these dads want to put it together?

I would say do it like they do for middle school duals. State placing is priority, 12u placing means more than 10u placing, unless they've met head to head. Then 6th grade gets priority, etc. We should obligate ourselves to put together the BEST team that Kansas can offer. I would say to have people start copying and pasting my "lineup" and adding kids taht might fit in those weights, so whomever puts it together can have a starting point for recruiting kids for it.

Doug there's an Eck in there how about you or your brother.

I'll ask Dal and Bowen, Moses, Marquez, Moon, Finney, if they'd be interested in organizing it.

We can take more than one team as well if there is enough interest.

We are in if it get's put togather, but Mason will have to go 55, finally got a couple pounds on him and don't want to take it off, lol. Brawlers know how to get a hold of me, and if you need any help , just let me know.
Coach Turner

Taylor Watkins 6th grade of Columbus can wrestle 90 or 95lbs.

Greater Gold GC might have a few boys interested.
Kaj Perez - 55
Tevin Briscoe - 95
Zac Finch - 100
Hunter Kennedy - 120

i still have that 3rd grader at 140 or 130. if you guys get it togeher, let me know.

Austin Cook from Smoky Valley is in 6th grade and might be interested in going.

i still have that 3rd grader at 140 or 130. if you guys get it togeher, let me know. his name is robert king. my name is charlie king/wichita aztecas.

Anyone got info on this yet. Is it a go or not?

I've been told that Dal Eck and Klaus Schmidt are meeting at 5:00 tonight to go over what needs to be done. I would say to send me a private message and I'll forward them to Dal and Klaus. I can email you the forms if you leave your email, and I'll forward your kids' name, grade, and weight to them so they can get the team picked. I am assuming they will go off of head to head, state placing, etc. Probably the easiest thing would be for all interested kids to send me their email, name, grade, and weight, and they can put all the names on a list, then pick the team, and collect the signup forms after the team is picked. Probably going to have to get teams picked by end of week so they can have time to make travel plans, meeting spots for those not in Wichita area, etc.

PM me with your info.

Below are the weights for the Elementary School Duals in Nebraska. Especially in the upper weights, is there any of the kids that are in 12u that are still 6th grade or younger? Tommy Marquez at 140 is still a 6th grader. Please give your input on who we need to pursue to be on that team at each weight.

50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 112, 120, 130, and 140.

It is true that Dal Eck, Chris Bowen and Klaus Schmidt are meeting tonight at 5:00 to discuss putting at least one team together for this event. We hope to have a per kid cost to attend this figured out in the next day or so. I assume it will be similar to the Middle School Duals cost ($275.00) which will include entry fee,Team Kansas singlet,t-shirt and shorts,travel and hotels.

Anyone interested should email dal@matteck.com with their kids age,weight and accomplishments. We will be getting the neccessary forms, etc put together as well and should be ready to send them out tomorrow.

Hunter Roberts can go 75. He weighs 77-78 walking around.

Tevin Briscoe 90/95, Zac Finch 100, Hunter Kennedy 112/120 are all 6th graders from Greater Gold

We are looking for 6th grade kids for the upper weights in order to be very competitive. I'm sure we will be taking at least 2 teams to this event.

email dal@matteck.com or call Klaus Schmidt 620-583-2663 with your interest or suggestions.

I would like some more info on this, where do I need to go?

Here are some additional details for the Elementary Duals. Cost per kid will be $275.00. That includes a Team Kansas singlet,shorts and t-shirt - transportation to and from Lawrence, 2 nights hotel rooms and entry fee.

The deadline to sign up is Thursday April 2nd at 8:00 pm. I need to know who all is going by then. You can complete the paperwork and make arrangements to get me the money shortly thereafter. I will be posting a link to the neccessary paperwork on Wednesday morning.

We will for sure have a great 1st team and it looks like we will have plenty for a real good 2nd team. If we get enough interest, we can take a 3rd team.

If you prefer I email you the paper work, drop me a note dal@matteck.com

Hunter Roberts dislocated his thumb again last night in drills. He won't be healthy to make this trip.

I have emailed Mike Juby and asked him to post a link to the required forms for the Elementary Duals. Hopefully, he will get this done ASAP

The link with the required forms is posted in the calender section.

Khamin Crow is now NOT going

Dal,

Quick question for you. I noticed a few of these kids are also on the list to wrestle for the Middle School National Duals team. Do they just have to meet a certain age criteria for each competition? From what I can see, a 6th grader can wrestle in both. Just curious.

Yes, a 6th grader can wrestle in both. However, we have mostly 7th and 8th graders on the Middle School teams.

Thank you Dal,

I figured that must be the case. At first I saw one wrestler listed on both threads (he'll be wrestling Jr High with my son this fall/winter), then I looked again and saw at least two other wrestlers that were on both rosters.

Team Kansas will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express - 2415 N Lincoln Ave - Fremont, NE / 402-753-3850

There are still rooms available. If any parents want to stay in the same hotel as the team, call and make reservations.

We still need a 112 and 120 lber for team one.

We lost several wrestlers this morning on team two so we now need - 70, 90, 100, 105, 112, 120, 130 lbers.

I need to order singlets, shorts and shirts Friday (tomorrow) morning. If we don't get more interest by this evening, we will be taking just the one team.

I know it was short notice this year. Next year we will get an earlier start.

I PM'd some people with some questions!
My son is Spencer Tracy. He is 10U and could go either 105 or 112!
Please PM me with some contact info!

Jonny may be intrested if I you need a 60 lb. So give me a call we'll be weighing in for brute tonight Jon 913-314-4529

I will be on the road to Brute shortly. I will check email etc when I get there tonight.

We have lost a couple more wrestlers, so Team Kansas will have only one team going to the Elementary Duals. Thanks to all who showed interest. Like I said before, next year we will get started early and should be able to send multiple teams.

If your name is on the first team, please get me your paperwork ASAP.

I have a 120lb. Matt Pratt 6th grader call me 913 219-1140 or email joeprattski@yahoo.com. I can fax info.

Ok, here is the line up for Elementary Duals. Thanks to all who showed interest. There still could be someone who has to drop out, so I may be back asking for kids again.

Each kid will be assigned to one of the two vans and they will be expected to ride in their assigned van during travel for the entire trip. I have 5 dads who will help with the chaparoning, driving, etc. We will assign 4 kids per hotel room. We will pass out the singlets, shorts and shirts once we arrive in Fremont. Weigh in is from 5:00 to 8:00 Thursday night. After weighin, we will go eat.
