2012 Heartland USA Elementary National Duals

This dual team tournament is April 13th, 14th and 15th this year at Midland University in Fremont Nebraska.

This event is for 1st thru 6th graders - you can not be 14 years old and wrestle in this event. The weights are 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 112, 120, 130, 140 and 160. We are allowed 3 alternates per team also.

Team Kansas has sent three teams to this event the last few years and we are planning on doing the same thing this year.

I expect the cost to be the same as in years past - $250.00 - I still need a few details worked out before I know for sure - but the fee will include transportation to and from Lawrence, hotels, Team Kansas singlet, shorts and t-shirt and entry in to the tournament.

If your son is interested, please submit his name, grade and weight to the forum. We will keep the forum updated with all interested participants. Like always, I ask for help from coaches and parents in spreading the word.

I will also need volunteers to drive the vans, coach and work the table during our duals.

We will have a meeting of coaches sometime after the state tournament to pick the teams - this will be at my office in Wichita. I will post the date and time later.

As soon as I know what hotel we will be staying at, I will post that info so parnets who want to stay with the team can reserve their rooms.

I will be posting the required forms, etc at a later date.

Thanks
Dal Eck

Kevin McCracken

Matt Parenti

The first Team Kansas Elementry dual team from 2009 that took third:

50 - Jace Koelzer
55 - Mason Turner
60 - Christian Bowen
65 - Zach Eck
70 - Cole Moses
75 - Adam Cole
80 - Chuckie Schmidt
85 - Tristan Star
90 - Zach Hensley
95 - Brett Moon
100 - Taylor Watkins
105 - Ben Ewing
110 - Jace McDown
120 - Matt Pratt
130 - Nick Neece
140 - Tommy Marquez

Tanner Madl and Curtis Rylant also wrestled. I believe Watkins wrestled 10 or 15 pounds above his weight because of injuries.

It was a good time for all the kids, except my boy who got the flu and threw up all night before the last day, then decided to wrestle his last match, and threw up again leaving the mat. Lol. It was still a memorable trip for him when for the first time, he got to represent Team Kansas. If you can go your wrestler will have a good time and make some goood friends.

Good luck guys!

Dayton Porsch 5th grade 85# Hoxie would like to be considered
Thank you

We're new to the sport of wrestling but we have a young son who enjoys it a great deal and is experiencing success on the local level. As near as we can tell, he's possibly in the top 10 kids for his age/weight in the state (can't confirm that until March;-). Anyway, just wondering what sort of credentials/record a kid should have before attempting to make one of these 3 teams. I assume there is a top tier team, a 2nd tier team, and a 3rd tier team? Just trying to get an idea as to whether he might be a good fit for the team or if we should wait another year or so.

Thanks!

What is his age and weight?

Ideally, I would like to be able to take everyone who wants to go. It is very competetive and obviously, we hope to take the best wrestlers Kansas has to this event. You will see who is interested as I will keep a list updated on this forum. Some weights will have more than we can take and others may not have enough.

Ian DeMoss 55 or 60 (whichever you need, he is packing on the lbs lately so 55 might be tougher for him), 10yrs old 4th grade would love to go. He had a blast last year.

Bronson, I believe we've had a team make the gold bracket every year - last year I think we finished fourth and the year before we finished second to Illinois. I think that placing is the highest a Kansas dual team has accomplished.

I remember your son being sick, but at least he had a medical reason - unlike Bowen who was sleeping in the corner all day.

He's 6 now and will turn 7 in April. He's currently 52lbs (51 in the am), but of course he is growing so I can't say what he'll be in April. If there are 50-55lb 4th graders available, I'm sure he'd struggle for a spot on the team. He's a super strong kid that is developing well technically. We'd like to bring him to Lawrence if you're interested in meeting/watching him.

Preston Martin 4th Grade 55lbs would possibly like to be considered.

I could help with tables (I've done tables for the state series for several years now).

My husband would also be willing to help coach. (10 yr. coaching experience and college wrestler)

Do you know if this will be the same weekend as the FS/GR Fight or Flight tournament at Staley?

My son went last year and had a wonderful time...I encourage as many to go as possible..great opportunity!

Cael Alderman is second grade and would like to go at 50lbs.

Ryan Adams is a 6th grader 112lb and would like to go.

Curtis Near, 6th grader 95 lbs. is interested in going.

Wil Jameson would possibly like to be considered 4th grade at 75#

what ages does this go up to. never have done this but may be interested.

Scott,
It is for 1st grade thru 6th grade. You wrestle your weight and will compete at that weight vs opponents up to 6th grade. You need to get Brady's name in there. It's the best experience of the season and they compete in dual format vs other states. He will probably get 6-8 quality matches and will experience the closest thing to a high school dual. Trust me.....he will dig it!

Kevin

i will have to check the funds and the baseball schedule as practice starts for pitchers this week. im sure there are several young guns that might be interested. i will bring that up on wed. practice. i know a couple kids are probably going to go to reno so not sure what their schedules are either. i will let you know. thanks for the input though. see you at maize next weekend.

Levi Sutton 3rd grade weighing in at 72lbs, Salina Kids Club, could go at 75 or 80lbs. He is very interested.

Mike Sutton

Trevor Casteel is a 6th grader and is at 75 pounds. He would be interested in going. I can also help in any way needed.

Conner Greig 85 6th Grade.

For the parents who have not checked the calendar, this event is the same weekend as Reno Worlds. Folkstyle Nationals is 3/30-4/1 and Brute is 4/5-4/8.

There have been a couple questions regarding the level of competition at this event compared to Reno. If you are in the running for the Trinity award, I say you probably need to go to Reno. We want to take the best wrestlers Kansas has, but no one is going to be upset if you have a chance at that award and try to win it.

For the rest of you who are on the fence, consider that you will get 7-8 quality matches at this dual team tournament. At Reno, you lose 2 and you are finished. The team dual concept is important for these young guys. Your contribution to the team may be as simple as not giving up bonus points in a loss that helps us win a tight dual. You may score bonus points to help us win a tight dual. I've watched some of our wrestlers beat kids they have never beat before. Others have fought almost an entire period on their back to not get pinned. The level and intensity of the wrestling is always a notch higher in these events. Pride comes into play and there is more than just a personal win at stake. Just as important is the fact that the kids have fun and meet others that they may not get to see very often.

There will be no shortage of top notch kids at this event. Keep in mind that all the other states are trying to bring their best as well. I guarantee the caliber of wrestling will be all you can handle. Just ask Anthony Capul from our club - I think all 4 of his losses the last 2 years were at this dual event.

trust me participating in elementary school dual is buy for greater than any tournament we have ever been to before my son still talks about all the fun that he has it to dual

Braden Lowe from Eureka would be interested at 120. He is in 6th grade.

Anthony Gaona 112 6th grade

we have a baseball tournament that weekend. im going to try to get out of going and let brady go to this tournament. since its a local tournament i dont think it would be that big of a deal to miss it. so you can mark brady bockover down for 100lbs. he is a 5th grader. hey kmac can i borrow some money to lol. i will see if i will be able to go also. what is the normal expense for a parent to go to this. i would be willing to help coaching if needed or maybe even video taping. if someone wants to put together a video i have 10 gigs of music for the cd as well.

Joey Ewalt is interested. He is 6th grade 105. I would also be interested in helping anyway needed.

Mike Ewalt
Head Coach, Linn County Twisters

Devin Onwugbufor 6th grader 80 lbs will be in again

So do you just have to be under 14 to wrestle at the duals

Zachary Strait 6th grade, 75#'s

Cameron Hughbanks will be at 112 for the duals.

We will be staying at the same hotel as last year in West Omaha

Holiday Inn Express and Suites
17677 Wright Street
Omaha, NE 68130
402-333-5566

The rooms for the teams are taken care of so parents don't need to do anything for their wrestler.

I have a block of rooms set up for the parents to reserve in their name. You must make your reservation by March 23rd to get the Kansas Wrestling rate of $89.99 plus tax. If for some reason you don't end up going, you can cancel by 6pm the day you are to arrive. Tasha at the hotel told me the rooms will be significantly higher if not booked by 3/23. I know that we won't have the teams picked until after that date, but I could not do anything about it.

The hotel would only let me hold an additional 20 rooms at a time. Once those 20 are reserved we will be able to hold 20 more.

Please get your reservations early if you want to stay with the team. Remember, you can always cancel if you don't go.

Ask for Kansas Wrestling 2012 to get the $89.99 rate.

You have to be in 1st to 6th grade and can not be 14 years old at the time of this tournament

Oops - I fixed it

It's official - Team Kansas will be taking 4 teams to the elementary duals.

Our goal is to take four FULL teams. As you can see, we are short a few guys mostly in the upper weights.

What is your email address?

dal@matteck.com

Mitchell Hamlin 6th grade 100 lbs

Riley smith 5th grade 105 would like to go but worried about weight, any allowances and whats the deadline?

No weight allowance is given - it is a one time weigh in on Friday evening.

Please put Michael Spangler at 60#. It will be easier to lose 1 pound than gain 4(per Michael)

Thanks
Traci

Due to scheduling conflicts Colt Rice is not able to make it so you can take him off of the list

Add Jake Patterson, 6th grade, 120 pounds, to the list.

I have had a few questions from parents regarding 6th graders trying to decide if they want to wrestle with the Middle school dual teams or the Elementary school dual teams.

I can say that with out a doubt, the competition at this event is as tough as you will see anywhere. No doubt there are a few 6th graders in the state who can do well at the middle school event. For the most part I believe the 6th graders would be better off at the Elementary event

probably need to move brady bockover to 105. he is barely making 100 now and with a little time off he wont make 100 by then.

Can you add Bryan Willson to 112 lbs.

Please take Luke Bowen off the list ,his season ended a little early than expected this season. Hopefully next year !Thanks

Clayton Moison - 70lbs - 3rd Grade

Hey Dal, can we get an updated breakdown by grade? Also, can you explain a little bit how this operates? Thanks!

My son had an amazing time when he went. The only thing some people need to remember is you could have a 3rd grader wrestling a 6th grader. Also there is a difference in expressing interest and saying you will go. Every year they get teams together and at last minute they are trying to fill a spot. If you say your going please do. Backing out at the last minute only hurts THE TEAM!
The numbers look amazing this year and the names are impressive too!
Good Luck to ALL

I don't think this tournament breaks down by grades. I think you just have a dual team and the members of that team just have to be in elementary school. For example on the same team, your lighter couple of weights may be 3th or 4th graders. Your heavier weights are probably 5th or 6th graders. Doesn't matter what grade, as long as the entire team is just elementary school.

Cool, looking forward to it! Thanks for the input everyone!

Good luck @ Districts this weekend everyone

You guys are correct - age has nothing to do with this event other than you must be in elementary school.

We are getting close to having enough wrestlers for 4 full teams.
It looks like we are short at 95,112,130 and 160.

We will have a coaches meeting sometime the week after the State tournament to get started with the selection process. I will post the date and time later. We will meet at my office in Wichita - 9915 W 21st n Suite A - all are welcome.

We may need to do some calling and recruiting if we don't have the teams full.

Please bear with us thru this process as there may be some changes due to scheduling, injury etc. before the teams are finalized.

Thanks for everyones help thus far.

Dal,
I know we had you remove Bryan Willson (6th grade) from the 112 weight last week. However could you please add him again. He has made room in his schedule to attend if he is invited.

Brian Bigelow
913-549-2713

If there is still room I would like to add Silas Pineda 55 lbs. We were just holding off to see how he ends up at state. If I understand this correctly that is how the teams are picked.

Dal,
Could you take Ian out at 60lbs, we will be out of town and won't be able to make it.

Coaches, we will have our first selection meeting Wednesday March 28th at 6:30 pm at my office in Wichita - 9915 W 21st N Suite A.

It looks like we may need to do a little recruiting to fill the remaining open slots so it may take more than one meeting to finalize the teams.

There is still time to sign up for any interested wrestler. I know there are several who are waiting until after the state tournament to make a decision.

Parents, don't forget to reserve your room if you want to stay at the same hotel as the team.

Holiday Inn Express
17677 Wright Street
Omaha,NE 68130
1-402-333-5566

There is a block of rooms reserved under Kansas Wrestling. They are held for us until April 1st - I hope to have the teams finalized before then so everyone knows what's going on. To be safe, I'd reserve a room - you can cancel up until the day before check in

Once the teams are selected, I will need to know if any wrestler will be staying with their parents. I will also need to know what wrestlers will NOT be riding in the vans with the team from Topeka.

Here are the interested wrestlers. I will update this as more wrestlers sign up. If you have any questions, email me or call 316-641-4913

Dal,
Could you please move Joshua Seabolt to 112 from 120. He is only weighing 108.
Thank you!

Good luck to everyone this weekend. If you see me, feel free to ask any questions, etc. I'd like some help identifying the 6th graders in the weights where we are short wrestlers - 90, 130, 160.

The Brawlers will be having open room practices for the national dual teams. I will get a schedule figured out and posted Monday. I know next week we will only have practice on Tuesday and Wednesday as we are heading to Iowa Folkstyle Nationals Thursday.

Dal,

Hunter has been weighing in at about 128 after practices this week, so he can move down to 130. (6th grade)

Derek

Dal,
Can you please move Dylan Newton down to 95. I thought he would hit a growth spurt but he only weighed 92 today.

congrats to Dylan great kid....great wrestler...good luck this summer in wrestling

Quinton lapointe 120 albs 6 th grade would like to be on team

Thank you. Congrats to Brycen on a great season as well. That was a great match by a couple of champions. Couldn't think of a better

Please let me know ASAP if you don't want to go as an alternate

We will be meeting and leaving from Topeka this year - the Middle School Teams have rented a meeting room at the Capital Plaza Hotel and are letting us use it to check in and hand out the gear, etc.. I will post a firm schedule in the next week or so.

I will need to know if your wrestler WILL NOT be riding in the vans with the team. I realize the meeting place may not be convenient for everyone - I need to know so I can keep track of all the kids. We MUST weigh in as a team so you will need to be in Fremont before the weigh in time - if you drive separate.

I also need to know if your wrestler is staying with you at the hotel or staying with the team - I will be putting together a rooming list and again, I need to know where all wrestlers are at.

The cost this year is $240.00. There is a link to the required forms on pages 6 and 8 of this thread.

I will also need for each wrestler COPIES ONLY of -
Birth Certificate
Current Grade Card
USA Card
Insurance Card

I will get a coaches list posted next week and have additional info as we get closer.

Parents, watch the forum in the event there are some changes - every year, we have a couple injuries, etc that force us to scramble to fill the openings.

I want to thank Matt Treaster and the Kansas Kids Executive Board for providing money to cover part of the entry fees for this event.

They work hard behind the scenes to help improve Kansas Wrestling and I for one appreciate it.

This allowed us to reduce the fee a little from years past.

Thanks again.

Do the subs still pay and go with the team

The alternates pay and get the same gear, etc as everyone else.

They have the option of staying with one of the teams and hoping for matches against other alternates from the oposing dual team - or, a better option that all of our guys have done in the past is to get on one of the alternate teams formed at the event. They then get to wrestle the same number of matches.

Ok brian gates still wants to go will get everything to you

I do believe that Trai Warburton is in 6th grade out of Bonner Springs. I think that he went with the team a couple of years ago.

Mikey Waggoner will be riding up with his parents; let me know where we need to meet for weigh in.

Mikey would like to stay in the room with the team.

Thanks,
Sam Waggoner

Logan Gugelmeyer and Hadley Panzer will be riding with their parents to Nebraska. We are planning on being there early enough to get checked in the motel before weigh ins. We just need to know where we need to meet the team. If we absolutely need to meet in Topeka, we can, but it's a little better for us to just head straight to Fremont from SW KS.

So what is the criteria for being/not being selected Dal? Just asking because we never have done this. I see many kids weren't even selected as alternates? Do you base selection off Track Wrestling ratings or records? Thanks

I can only take 3 alt per team - the coaches ranked all the alts and we started at top and went to number 12 -

There have already been some alts who do not want to go - I will be adding other names to the alt list

I am in Iowa so if I don't respond for a while, please be patient

Parents and coaches,

Please check the forum and look at the teams and alternate list - there have been several changes -

I'll drop Cole Bradford's forms in the mail in the morning.

Charles

Zachary Strait's papers are in the mail. He will meet you in Topeka.

Kirk Coomes 6th Grade 160# is on this list also..Kirk Coomes and Jordan Eli will be riding with their parents to Fremont. Please confirm, and please let us know where we are to meet the team in Fremont and time to weigh in together. Kirk and Jordan would also like to stay with the team in the motel also. Please contact Jimmy Eli at 785-216-0432 or Angie Coomes @ 785-533-2644

The weigh in is at 5:00 pm at Midland Lutheran College - 900 N Clarkson, Fremont, NE

We MUST weigh in as a team, so any wrestler riding with their parents needs to meet us at the college. Please plan on being there no later than 4:45.

concerning Jake Patterson

we cannot pull up the forums on pages 6 or 8. Jake Patterson will be going and riding the team bus and staying at the hotel with the team. please advise if there is another link. We will have all the required information tomorrow.

Thanks,

Do to a nagging injury, Jared Parenti will not be able to participate. sorry for late notice, was waiting to heal fully.

Anyone have Dal's email address?

dal@matteck.com

Dal,
What time do we need to drop the boys off in Topeka on Friday? Where are we dropping them off also?

Brian J. Bigelow
913-549-2713

brady bockover, lucas glover and trenton willert will be riding with parents but will be staying with the team.

Did you get my email Dal? Let me know if it has everything you need. Thanks

Also, forgive me if I missed it, but how are the singlets dispersed? What team gets what branch of service?

Last year they voted 1 st team got choice then 2nd team etc

Last year we voted, but there was only a few that voted so this year, I am deciding what team gets what singlets

Also, we had a 160 back out - we need one for team 3

Jaykob Martinez 140 will not be able to attend due to injury at Brute sorry

We are meeting and leaving from the Topeka Capital Plaza Hotel - 1717 SW Topeka Blvd - this Frday 4/13. Come to the Amber Room to check in.

Please be there between 10 and 11 so I can get everyone checked in and hand out the gear. We need to leave no later than noon.

I will have van and room assignment sheets to hand out to each wrestler. I need to keep track of everyone at all times, so there will be no switching vans or rooms.

We will drive to west Omaha and get checked in to our hotel before weigh in.

Fremont is about 30 minutes from our hotel, so we need to leave no later than 4:15 so we can be one of the first states to weigh in.

We MUST weigh in as a team - please be at weight as there is no allowance given. Have any skin forms with you so not to delay your team.

After weigh in, the teams vans will go to USA Steak Buffet to eat - it is $6.00 including drinks.

Wrestling begins at 9:00 Saturday and Sunday mornings. We will leave the hotel both mornings between 7:30 and 7:45.

The hotel knows we all need to eat breakfast between 6:30 and 7:30 so they will have extra help to keep the food stocked.

I will have stuff for turkey and ham sandwiches on Saturday for the wrestlers. I will provide pizza for the wrestlers Saturday night at the hotel. I will have all the water the wrestlers can drink available in coolers. Any sandwich stuff left over will be eaten Sunday. Your wreslter will need money for Friday night and Sunday lunch and dinner meals. The concession prices at this event are VERY reasonable.

In years past, we have finished wrestling by around 4 or 5 on Sunday - we usually get back to Topeka by 8 or 9. You will need to make sure there is someone there to pick up your wrestler.

I will have Team Kansas t-shirts for sale at the hotel and event. They will be $15.00 each or 2 for $25.00.

We will be checking in at the same time as the middle school teams, so it will be a little crowded and chaotic - please be patient.

I'm sure I have forgotten something, so when it comes to me, I will post again.

Van drivers for the 5 vans are;

Dal Eck
Jon Trowbridge
Jason Koelzer
Casey Pappan
John Harper

There was alot of hart on the mat today.The boys dug deap.

Good job to all the boys of Kansas.

just got home from Omaha. i just have to say i have never been to this before and i absolutely love it. i like that i got a chance to meet so many people from around the state and be on the same team and exchange stories and watch some of the best wrestling i have seen all season. I really didnt know many of these people but i must say that those were the most helpful and nice people i have ever met. i have really never met dal eck before these last 2 weeks and to think of that that guy does for this sport in kansas and the boys is awesome. all the other coaches i met and talked to made this event my favorite. i hope to get a chance to be part of this in the future and hope that more kids and parents get involved in this in the future.

Dal --Thank you for your time & energy & talent in putting these teams together. Coaches -- Thank you for your words of encouragement, intensity and leadership & command. Van Drivers -- Thank you for the safe travels. Young Kansas Wrestlers -- Thank you for making our State proud of you and doing the best you could on & off the mat. This is what our Sport is all about Memories in Motion! Remember young wrestlers training for next year starts today!! It's up to you alone to make it happen!!!! And Parents thanks for your involvement in supporting Youth Wrestling in Kansas & Cheering these warriors on!!!

You all represented the Navy, Air Force, Marines & Army well!! HOORAH!!

YES!! I agree 100 percent. absolutely awesome experience. thanks to everyone who puts this together, outstanding job. Well done KS. If you have a kid eligible to attend next year put it on the schedule.

A big thanks to Dal for all the effort involved in putting this together for the boys. Putting 4 teams together is a big challenge and we filled every weight on every team!

Thanks to all the coaches/van drivers and parents that helped us out on the tables as well.

Well done Team Kansas!

Dal......You do a great job organizing this event. Thanks!

It was nice to see old friends and make new ones. It's hard to keep up with all of the teams during the tournament, but I watched all of the KS Navy and most of the KS Air Force in the Gold Bracket on Sunday. We were so close to having both teams reach the "Final Four" in the Gold Bracket.....just a small break for both teams and it would have happened. It was still awesome to have two teams in the Gold bracket and to finish with two in the Top 8.

This tournament is still the highlight of the year and it didn't disappoint. Mark your calendars now for next year.

Great Job Dal!! Great Job all dual Teams!!

What an awesome experience we had in Nebraska! Thank you to all of the people that made this possible for our kids to go. Dal - super job organizing this deal. That had to have been extremely hard to do, but job well done. Thank you to the coaches for putting in the time and effort in to the boys. I know my boy had a blast. Something he will be talking about forever.

PS - Tom, keep pop bottle to the side of your chair. Ha. Funny stuff.

here were a couple sayism's as i like to say from kids or parents that i heard over the weekend. i used this one as a motivation for some of the boys. i told them that one of the nebraska kids asked me if i knew what was on top of kansas. i said no and he said Nebraska. a couple of the kids kind of looked at me and said whats that mean. i said they think they are better than you. then a couple kids got that angry look on. Jordan Eli has a mean look lol. Then I asked the boys just before we started wrestling the Missouri team and I asked them you know whats worse than Missouri. no what. Losing to Missouri. that one didnt quite work out but it was all fun anyways.

I would also like to thank Dal, all coaches, van drivers, and everyone else that helped make this trip possible. My boys made memories that will last a lifetime. This is by far one of the neatest experiences they've had so far in their wrestling careers. It was very impressive to see the coaches bring the teams together in just two short days. This is a great opportunity to experience the team side of wrestling and make lots of new friends.

Chris Misener

WOW! Amazing experience for myself and my boy! Wasn' sure how it would go before the trip, but we had an absolute blast! Those of you who didn't look into it, or for some reason weren't involved, YOU ALL MISSED OUT!

Dal, I can't thank you enough for all your hard work, energy, and time that you devote to these kids. This was a huge undertaking and your contribution to our kids does NOT go without notice by many! Thanks man!

A special thanks to John Harper for being the driver of of my boy's van, and many other duties for this event. Thanks John!!!

Also, much thanks to those who helped coach, and otherwise see after the kids!

Are we thinking of team names/themes for next year?? It was said that the Kansas teams had some of the "coolest" singlets.....Yeah to Will & Gonz working with design.....

I also had people complement on our singlets. They looked graet, good job guys.

Ty to all that had a part of this. My son had a blast.I also had a blast.

Charles Bradford

how about the kansas hawks, cats and shox. i request that coach fisher and harper coach the hawks team for next year lol.

Bockman.......don't you have some storm damage to inspect? You seem to have a lot of computer time following this dual thread. I think I was right back on the first page or two of this thread when I told you that you should skip the baseball tourney and go to the Duals. I think you must have had some fun!

Kevin

hawks ....too close to IOWA! haha

you meant JAYHAWKS! my bad.....Beak 'm Hawks! Rock Chalk!

I would also like to say thanks to Dal for setting this up and to everyone who coached and helped. This was really a great time for both Alek and I.

On a lighter note; I sure was surprised to find out how many Dr.'s there are in district 2.... lol

oh yea, and thanks Beeson for the entertainment.

Team Marines: I have all of the Silver Pool on video. I am downloading it now and will burn it to disc.
