The Fargo Report 2008

The Junior/Cadet National Team Camp has begun in McPherson and we are less than a week away from the start of the 2008 Junior/Cadet Nationals. Randy Hinderliter and I will be traveling up to Fargo on Thursday and will try to get you updates and pictures as time permits.

You can see the preliminary roster of our Women's, Cadet and Junior teams by clicking here.

Once weigh-ins are completed and wrestling begins, you'll be able to get up-to-date brackets on TrackWrestling.com.

With 904 Cadets entered for Greco, those numbers are slightly up from last year's 873. So much for $4 gas!

Go Kansas!

Cadet Greco numbers by weight:

84 - 31
91 - 21
98 - 45
105 - 66
112 - 89
119 - 71
125 - 76

The Junior 189 Greco bracket only had Brent Haynes in the way of Romero (If he was going). The FS bracket is another story...

Ryland Geiger - OR - #1 ranked All-Class by Intermat at 189.
Chris Perry - OK - Fargo AA 07
Brent Haynes - MO - Fargo AA 07 - Missouri signee.
Ty Vinson - MT - Junior National Champion - Oregon State signee.

Dylan Wrage - IA

Predictions for Fargo:

Cadet AA's:

119 - Daniel DeShazer
125 - Ryne Cokeley
145 - Chase Nelson

Junior AA's:

105 - Jeff Vesta
112 - Nathan Furches
119 - Sharky Slyter
135 - C.J. Napier
160 - Tyler Koehn
160 - Kyle Detmer
285 - Atticus Disney

Chief what about Caylor and Detmer? They were studs last year as Cadets. No love for them as Juniors, whats up with that.

Go Team Kansas! Good luck coaches and wrestlers! Kick some A at Fargo.

Detmer is on my list! Caylor was king last year as a Cadet, but being a first year Junior is much deeper water. He has a fantastic future ahead and I have plenty of love for him coach, but predicting an AA at 215 as a first year Junior is a tall order. I sure hope he proves me wrong!

Ryland Gieger won't be wrestling at Fargo.

He is on the roster that Oregon entered.

35. Duckworth, Cameron Junior 189 No 0.00
36. Geiger, Ryland Junior 189 Level 2 No 0.00
37. Sherman, Tyler Junior 189 No 0.00
38. Strouse, Dj Junior 189 No 0.00
39. Fortune, Tyrell Junior 215 Level 2 No 0.00
40. Jafari, Khashi Junior 215 No 0.00
41. Strouse, Cody Junior 215 No 0.00
42. Thomason, Vinnie Junior 215 No 0.00
43. Mitchell, Jacob Junior 285 No 0.00
44. Owens, Jarret (bubba) Junior 285 Level 2 No 0.00

Nevertheless.......

That is one heck of a recruiting class at Minnesota....

Atticus Disney
Jake Deitchler
Mario Mason
Cody Yohn
Matt Mincey
Ryland Geiger

#1 ranked class by Intermat. Mark your calendars for the home opener on New Year's day, Minnesota vs. Oklahoma State!

Hey ya' all ... a bit of update from Fargo!

The Jubster and I arrived last evening about 6 pm and met up with Coach Peterman. We also saw Coach Bogren and Coach Ogden and a few of the gals that represent Team Kansas.

This morning, a bus load of Cadets arrived. They are all registered and re-charging their batteries. They have a practice session this afternoon!

Every year I talk a lot about the anticipation! Chief has already supplied you with his opinions. I don't have much argument ... but will echo, those Cadets AA's from last year will have a tough road to hoe when they move up to Juniors! And of course, it is all in the draws!!

The 160# class as well as the 135-pounders will find the competition very tough indeed!

And a real tough 285 class may have gotten a bit easier as my information says that Atticus will not make the tourney.

Every year we have a few surprising individuals that seem to rise to the occasion. Also, we have a couple of "our studs" that will really struggle this week.

Over the years I've lamented over the fact that gaining "All-American status" is too easy in certain situations. However, if you achieve that rank in Fargo ... you have earned it!!

I can't help but remember we have had wrestlers in the past that were 0-4 in a given year. But in the following year, they were National Champions!! Perhaps someone that didn't garner a win last year will be the Champ this year!!

We will see!!

Howdy from Fargo!

Weigh-ins for Cadets are tomorrow morning at 7 am. Wrestling starts at 9:30 am.

At this tourney you get some kids moving around a bit! Missouri has 3 kids at 112#'s who have been National Champs!!

Probably my next report will be tomorrow from the FargoDome!

I have a Bronze course and the first session is at 7 am. With that in mind, it will be early to bed for me!!

We are rolling! Tommy Williams wins by fall! Riley Hunsiker loses, 0-7, 0-6.

Mario Corado endures a loss as does Brandon Charbonneau.

Daniel DeShazer wins by fall!

Zach Vesta wins!

Zach Cook wins 6-0, 6-0!

Ryne Cokeley picks up a 6-0, 9-3 win!

Cody Shavlik dominates an opponent with his reverse lifts, winning 6-0, 7-1!

Bryce Hood wins by fall!

Blaine Smith loses by fall.

Chase Nelson receives a bye!

Jason Siebel wins by fall!

Patrick Cervantes loses the 1st period, 1-5. Patrick loses the 2nd, 0-4.

In the Cadet division of the National Greco tourney we have 850 athletes that represent 40 States and Puerto Rico!

Cody Hill lost 0-10 and 0-5.

Jack Diffenbaugh loses 0-3, 4-1, 1-3.

Will Von Bargen loses by fall.

Keenan Coffey wins 3-0, 1-1!

Greg Schiffelbein loses 0-6, 0-7.

Kit
You are right Track Wrestling is doing a great job. However, I think Randy may be a little faster but it is very close.

I've posted the first set of photographs from the tournament. To see them, click on "Photo Gallery" at the top of the page.

When things slow down Randy will give us a description of some of the better matches. He is much better than trackwrestling w/ descriptions. Kind of hard to do right now when things are moving so fast.

Mike,
Thanks for the Photos they are all great. Man I wish I could be there. Mike is there any way you can send me the photos of Devon? Not a problem if you can't. I thought there might be a way for me to copy the ones you posted but I am not very good with this computer stuff.

Thanks for all you do Mike!!! Keep up the good work.

Jess

Nick Pursel wins!

Devon Keith suffers a loss.

Tommy Williams wins another by tech fall!

12 Cadets are alive out of 25!

I'm adding two more AA predictions!

Tommy Williams and Bryce Hood!

Ryne Cokeley is on "center court" on Mat 1. He is battling a foe from Oregon. Ryne trails early, 0-1 but goes ahead with a 2-point takedown followed by a 2-point gut. Cokeley goes on to exploit the position for another gut in the first 30-second period. Ryne's defense is superb and he wins the 1st-period, 7-1.

After a scoreless minute of the 2nd frame, Ryne wins the flip. Ryne gains a 2-point turn in the last second. His defense is again sound and he wins the bout, 7-1, 3-0!

Cody Shavlik wins another by tech!!

Chase Nelson wins another by pin!!

DeShazer, Cokeley, Hood and Shavlik are 4-0!

... and Tommy Williams is 3-0!

Joshua Bush is on Mat 1 facing a foe from Minnesota! The Gopher scores on a pushout. After 1-minute, Josh is victimized by a 3-point lift and a 2+1 gut ... he loses the 1st-period, 0-7.

In the next frame Josh gives up a takedown and offers little defense against his opponents gutwrenches ... losing, 0-6.

Devon Keith loses his second bout.

Cokeley has Travis Himmelman in 5 minutes! Huge match.... Travis is unscored on in 4 matches and Ryne has never beaten him.

First loss for the Colorado kid coming up!

DeShazer pins another!!!

On Mat 1 it is Ryne Cokeley facing Travis Himmelman of Colorado. Ryne gets head-pinched for 3. After 1-minute Ryne puts his defense to a test and it fails. Two guts later, Ryne loses the period, 0-7.

After 1-minute Ryne wins the flip. Ryne scores on a 2-point gut but gives a reversal but Ryne wins the period, 2-1.

The the deciding frame Ryne gains a 2-point exposure but loses 1 on the pushout. 1-minute ... Ryne is pushed out ... 30-seconds ... Ryne's defense is superb and he guts out the win!!

WOW! Thanks Randy!

Undefeated Cadets:

Williams - 3-0
DeShazer - 5-0
Hood - 4-0
Cokeley - 5-0
Shavlik - 4-0
Nelson - 3-0

... joined this match after Shavlik has won the first period.

Cody Shavlik trails after the first-minute, 0-1. Shavlik's "D" is solid and it is his turn on top. Shavlik quickly wins the period, 8-1 with a series of guts.

Shavlik keeps rolling!!!

Chase Nelson is leading 8-0 and then scores the fall for good measure!!

Kickin butt up there. Six undefeated! I heard they were a tough bunch...looks like they came to wrestle. Six undefeated, what states have more than that?

Of course there are a few states that have more than us! But of course they brought more kids and they have more population to draw from!!

Team Kansas ... is doing well!!

We've started the Junior competition and Jeff Vesta, Nathan Furches, and Sharky Slyter all have wins!

Chaz Lawrence has lost his opening bout, 4-0, 0-2, 2-8.

Kenneth Ornelas lost his as well.

Zac Sparr came back for a 3-period win!

Kendric Maple wins 1-5, 4-2, 3-1!

Dillon Charland lost his opening match.

Mitch Means was over-matched by a foe from New York.

Kyle Detmer opens his competition with a close victory! Kyle also dropped to 152 which should make his road a bit easier yet still real tough!

Evan Royal picks up a nice win!

Jake Walker was in quite a battle but picks up the 3-period victory!

Tyler Koehn uses his patented gutwrenches to dominate in the par terre position. Koehn wins, 7-0, 6-0.

Kyle "Big Train" Caylor picks up the bye!

Howard Johnson picks up the win by fall!

Bob Doxon loses, 1-1, 1-1!

Steve Andrus is dominant is winning his opening bout!

Sharky wins by injury default!

Chaz picks up a win!

As does Zac!

Kendric is on Mat 1. After a scoreless first minute, Kendric wins the flip. Maple can't score but his opponent can. Kendric loses the first-period.

Again it goes the the flip ... again Maple wins the flip. Again Kendric can't score ... but this time neither can his foe. Kendric wins the second-period, 1-1.

In the third-frame. Kendric earns the pushout. In the first 30 second go, Kendric gains a 2-point gut. Kendric's defense is sound ... and he wins the match!!

In the Junior division we have 790 wrestlers representing 44 States and Puerto Rico!!

Dillon Charland wins 3-0, 6-0!

Evan Royal was locked into a real battle ... three tough periods ... Evan endures the loss by decision.

Kyle Detmer loses in three periods.

Mitch Means wins a close one!

Tyler Koehn wins by fall!

I'm dying here guys...When do the Cadets start back up? I wasn't able to make the trip and can't seem to walk away from my computer!

I believe the time will be ... let me see ... taking a guess here ... approximately 3:30 pm!

But the bout will be a bit slower this session as both the Cadets and the Juniors will be wrestling!!

Jason Siebel scores a 2-point gut to win the 1st-period, 2-2. Jason loses the flip in the 2nd frame and gives up a 2-pointer. He takes his turn in the dominant position ... he gains 2-points on a caution and another 2 on a turn however his foe scored the reversal to tie the period at 4's ... but because there was a caution ... Jason Siebel wins the period and the match!!!

Tyler Koehn picks up the 3-0, 6-0 decision win!

Chase Nelson takes his turn! Chase misses the head-lock but stays with the hip toss. He gathers the head and earns the pin win!!

Howard Johnson suffers a loss.

Kyle Caylor scores the win, 8-0, 8-0!

Big Steve earns the 6-0, 5-2 decision!

Jeff Vesta wins!

Bob Doxon loses 1-1, 1-1 again ... he lost 4 flips and 2 matches.

Sharky picked up a hard fought win!

Nathan Furches earns the pushout in the 1st frame and exploited the position in lifts for 3 and for 5 ... Nathan wins the period, 9-0. In the 2nd frame, Nathan again earns the single and in the par terre position ... lifted for his 2nd 5 of the match!

Junior 130 Round 4 (Bout 1043 M 19) - Eric Grajales (Florida) vs. Kendric Maple (Kansas) is coming up!!

How many rounds will the Cadets wrestle tonight? Jason has a bye next round and I'm trying to figure out if he'll wrestle again tonight or will he be up tomorrow.

On the edge of my seat...

Gary

Maple loses to Grajales.

Cadet 130 Round 7 (Bout 1499) - Cody Shavlik (Kansas) vs. Dylan Ness (Minnesota)
is on the board!

Gary ... I am not positive but Jason is not on the list for a match coming up!

Tommy Williams is on Mat 1! The first minute is scoreless ... Tommy wins the flip ... and earns the 2-point gut. But Tommy scores the leg foul and loses the period, 2-2.

In the 2nd, Tommy gives up the takedown ... but later scores a 2-pointer. Tommy is on top ... scores a 2-point gut. His foe can't garner a turn and Williams wins the 2nd.

In the 3rd, Tommy earns 1 for the takedown and 1 for the hand-to-hand ... but gives a reversal. One-minute to go ... Tommy can't manage to score ... 30 seconds to go ... the score is tied at 2 ... but his foe can't turn him so Tommy wins, 3-2!

There is a nice picture of Kendric Maple on the front page of the intermat website.

That is correct. Does the schedule include Cadets round 8 for tonight?

Go Kansas!

Kyle Detmer looked impressive in a win by pin!

Tyler Koehn looked equally as solid in his decision win!

Kyle Caylor had a sweet toss straight over the top for the PIN!

Big Steve had a solid win, 5-0, 3-1!

Shavlik is wrestling Ness ... they're scoreless after 1-minute ... Cody wins the flip ... Ness gains his feet ... Ness scores 1 ... Cody is lifted for 1 ... he loses the period, 0-2.

In the 2nd, Cody goes for the head-lock ... Ness counters for 1 and then scores on a pair of 2-pont guts ... after 1-minute, Ness agains scores on the gut ... Shavlik battles tough but loses, 0-2, 0-6.

Chase Nelson is in a real battle ... he wins the 1st-period, 1-1.

In the 2nd, Chase gains 1 ... he gains 2 for an exposure ... his foe reverses for 1 ... 30 seconds to go ... the opponent scores 2 on a gut that went out-of-bounds ... Chase loses the period, 3-4.

In the 3rd, the foe scores 1 ... with 1-minute to go ... Chase has sound defense the score is tied ... Chase scores on the gut ... and again ... Chase wins the bout, 1-1, 3-4, 5-1!

Add Ryne Cokeley, Jason Siebel and Chase Nelson to the AA list! They can finish no lower than 8th place! SIX Cadet Greco AA's!!

Gary ... I don't think Jason will wrestle tonight ... they just announced they have called all matches!

Ryne Cokeley is up ... he is facing Joe Brewster of Illinois! After the first scoreless minute, Cokeley wins the flip ... Ryne can't score ... neither can Brewster ... Ryne wins the period, 1-1.

In the next frame, Ryne scores on the pushout. One-minute to go ... again, Ryne doesn't score ... again, neither can Brewster ... Cokeley wins the bout, 1-1, 2-1!

Wow! Cokeley vs. Lexvold next to determine the finalist! Ryne can finish no lower than 4th place!

The Jubster just did some quick calculations ... our Juniors are a remarkable 37-16 after the first day of competition!!

I've added some pictures from the Junior Greco-Roman Championships.

In a few minutes Daniel DeShazer will be on the center mat!!

Kendric Maple suffers his loss in this tourney.

Daniel is up! Daniels action did not satisfy the official and the Colorado foe gained 1-point. 1-minute ... Daniel gained his feet but was pushed out twice ... Daniel gains a lift point but Colorado wins the period, 1-3.

The second frame ... Daniel attempted the throw but Colorado countered for 1. One-minute left ... Daniel's defense is sound ... score is now 1-1 ... with 0:02 seconds left, Daniel earns the 2-point gut. He wins the period, 3-1.

The third frame ... again Colorado scores 1 on Daniel's throw attempt ... 1-minute remaining ... Daniel scores 3 on the reversal ... 0.30 seconds left ... Colorado gains his feet but Daniel gains the pushout ... Daniel wins 5-2!!

Cadet 125 RR1 (Bout 1566) - Ryne Cokeley (Kansas) vs. Drew Lexvold (Minnesota)

On Mat 1 ... a scoreless first minute, Ryne wins the flip ... Ryne gains 2 on the reverse high gut ... 0.30 to go ... Lexvold gains 1 ... the period ends, Cokeley won the frame.

Lexvold scores the takedown ... 0-1 after a minute ... Ryne gains his feet and earns the tie ... 0.30 left, Ryne can't score, Lexvold wins the period.

Scoreless after 1-minute ... Lexvold wins the flip ... Ryne gains his feet ... Ryne leads, 1-0 with 0.30 to go ... Ryme can't score ... Lexvold wins the match.

Congrats to Dapper! What a match with Cokeley. That was an amazing run he made. Once again, Randy's commentary is fantastic. Thanks for the updates!

Detmer wins by fall!!

I know that Detmer would like that match back against Urango from California! Detmer has pinned two undefeated guys and one that beat Urango, who is now eliminated. Kyle is now on a roll!

Shavlik loses.

Siebel loses 0-4, 0-6.

Tyler Koehn picks up a decisive win!

9 Juniors are still alive and 6 are unbeaten!

Vesta - 4-0
Furches - 4-0
Slyter - 5-0
Koehn - 5-0
Caylor - 2-0
Andrus - 3-0
Sparr - 4-1
Detmer - 4-1
Johnson - 2-1

Furches is unscored on and Koehn has given up 1 point!

WOW ... Chase Nelson takes about 20 seconds to score another fall! No it wasn't a head-and-arm, it was the snake!!

Kyle Caylor loses a 3-period decision.

Nathan Furches battled Ryan Mango pretty well ... until the last 30-seconds of the second frame.

Mango won the flip in the first-frame and neither wrestler had any offense by Mango won as he was the last to be awarded a point.

In the second-frame, Nathan won the flip but was unable to score. With 30-seconds to go ... Mango quickly lifted Nathan and dropped him for a five.

Kyle Kober (Iowa) over Stephen Andrus (Kansas) Fall 1:43

Kyle Detmer scores with a double under to take a 4-0 lead ... and at the one-minute mark, quickly scores a 2-point gut.

In the second stanza he closed it out with a 5-point body lock!!

Tyler Koehn uses was "too sweet" trapped arm gut to cruise against another!

Tyler Koehn is locked into a real battle ... facing Alec Ortiz of Oregon ... Tyler ends up on the short end of the decision.

CADET All-American matches:

84 - 5th/6th - Tommy Williams vs. Colton Howell (MO)

140 - 7th/8th - Jason Siebel vs. Tyler Lusht (NY)
145 - 1st/2nd - Chase Nelson vs. Wally Figaro (FL)

Detmer loses.

Caylor loses.

Big Steve took 3-periods but was victorious!

Calvin York beat Detmer. I knew that would be a tough one! Detmer will wrestle for 7th place. A first year Junior All-American!

SIX Kansas Juniors are still alive!

Vesta - 4-1
Furches - 5-1
Slyter - 7-0
Detmer - 5-2 - Wrestling for 7th
Koehn - 6-1
Andrus - 5-1

Furches has Cody Tyler next! A re-match of the Duals!

We have 6 Juniors who are guaranteed All-Americans!

Big Steve is in a little love triangle himself. He beat the Wisconsin kid that beat the Iowa kid that beat him.

Furches beat an Oregon kid 6-0 and 4-2 his last match. I wish Furches was on the other side so he could have a rematch with Waters.

Number of Cadet All-Americans by State

Once again Kansas the least populated state in the top 15.
Still can not believe we do not have a Division I program at one of the D-I schools. Some of the states below on Themat.com are saying they are missing 1 all american. But you guys have made the Kansas state wrestling body proud of you. Keep on Truckin.

Tommy's up! Scoreless after 1-minute ... his foe wins the flip ... but can't score ... Tommy's turn ... with 0.05 Tommy earns the gut and wins the period.

2nd frame ... scoreless again ... Tommy wins the flip ... again Tommy scores late ... 0.30 left ... Tommy has great defense and wins the match!

Tommy Williams is an All-American, finishing 5th!!

Its working for now I hope it keeps working until at least 145 is over.

My buddy ... Jason Bryant is doing the play-by-play on that!! And the video is being shot by another friend, Tony Black!!

Commentary is very good you can tell that they have done their homework on each of the wrestlers.

Daniel takes his turn in the barrel facing Runzo of VA. Scoreless after 1-minute ... Daniel wins the flip ... but he can't score ... Daniel get cautioned for movement ... Runzo wins the period, 0-3.

The 2nd begins ... with 1-second left Daniel scores on the quick duck under ... on the lift, Runzo commits a leg foul ... 3-0 with 0.30 ... Daniel wins the period, 4-0.

The decisive period ... scoreless after 1-minute ... Runzo wins the flip ... again, Daniel gives up 2 on the caution ... 0.30 seconds left ... Daniel can not gain the turn and loses the bout.

Daniel DeShazer is the runner-up and an All-American!

Looked like the virginia kid was kind of slow rolling on the starts against daniel

Ryne Cokeley ... wins his match and takes 3rd in this Championship! Ryne Cokeley is an All-American!!

By the way Lexvold pinned his guy in the 125 final, that Cokeley/Lexvold match was the real final!

Cody Shavlik battles back to win 5th place! Shavlik is an All-American!!

I have been fairly impressed with Jason Siebel ... he wrestles well but finishes 8th! An All-American!

Let's see if Chase Nelson can finish his quest. He is battling Wally Figero of FL.

After 1-minute they are scoreless ... Nelson wins the flip ... he quickly lifts but Figero leg fouls ... 2-0 as they enter the last 30 seconds ... Chase gets lifted and is awarded 5 for the toss.

Suddenly Chase gets the fall!! WOW!!!

Sorry again ... things went a little nuts!! In that second period ... Figero tried a head-and-arm but slipped ... Chase quickly moved out front ... lifted Figero's head, put in the snake and in about 10 seconds ... it has all over!!

Chase Nelson is the lastest NATIONAL CHAMPION from Kansas!!

That makes 7 fall for the tourney!!!

Wow! That's beastly wrestling if there ever was beastly wrestling.

Congrats Chase!

And huge congrats to all the other Cadet Greco AA's. Great job everyone!

Nelson was a man among boys in that bracket! Domination! That 5 pointer kind of fired him up, I would say. (Questionable 5 point call, by the way...)

Great job by the Cadets! I only watched Deshazer and Nelson's matches in the finals.

Deshazer looked tough. It's too bad that par terre is such a timing issue now. It did appear he was reacting early...but that's ridiculous that rules like these decide national championships.

Nelsons Match...I agree...questionable 5 point call. 7 pins in a tourney is domination! Outstanding tourney.

The livesportsvideo feed is great...I encourage others to check it out for matches tomorrow (it's free).

Junior 119 RR1 (Bout 1474 M 1) - Sharky Slyter (Kansas) vs. Joe Colon (Iowa)

Colon lost to Mowry 6-0, 4-2. The winner makes the Finals!

Go get em Sharky!

Sharky's up ... Shark with the 3-point toss ... 1-minute left ... nothing in the first 30 ... Sharky wins the first, 4-1!

In the second ... nothing, Colon wins the flip ... Sharky gets turned but gains a 2+1 reversal ... SHARKY WINS! Slyter is the finals!!!

Slyter is a Greco Maniac!

The Juniors have matched the Cadets! Six All-American's!

Jeff Vesta - 3rd/4th
Nathan Furches - 3rd/4th
Sharky Slyter - 1st/2nd
Kyle Detmer - 7th/8th
Tyler Koehn - 3rd/4th
Steve Andrus - All 4 guys on his side have 1 loss!

Junior 285 Round 8 (Bout 1488 M 12) - Stephen Andrus (Kansas) vs. Jacob Mitchell (Oregon)
Junior 112 Finals (Bout ?) - Nathan Furches (Kansas) vs. Kent Williams (Illinois )
Junior 119 Finals (Bout ?) - Logan Stieber (Ohio) vs. Sharky Slyter (Kansas)
Junior 152 Finals (Bout ?) - Kyle Detmer (Kansas) vs. Jake Bohn (Michigan)
Junior 105 Finals (Bout ?) - Ryan Renkey (Florida) vs. Jeff Vesta (Kansas)

Can Sharky climb the Stieber mountain? I wouldn't bet against him!

Big Steve ... wins convincingly!

Tough break for Steve. He beat Saevre, but is wrestling for 5th place while Saevre is in the 3rd place match.

If I am reading that bracket right for big Steve, he just eliminated the only guy that Kober of Iowa hadn't wrestled yet. Now a 3 way tie...all men have wrestled each other.

Points against each other accumulated-
Kober had 5 unless you count it like dual scoring, then add 1 for scoring in a loss vs. Saerve = 6 pts

Saevre had 3pts for beating Saerve and scored against Andrus (if they count that point, it would be 4

Big Steve had a 3pt decision and lost by fall against the other 2.

I believe they go most points, then break the next tie by heads up...if that is the case...Steve should be going for 3rd.

Now if they go by points accumulated total to place you into your medal match...Saerve would have 4 and Steve only 3 with the point scoring system.

Vesta is up ... scoreless after 1-minute ... Vesta wins the flip ... nothing for Vesta ... the Bama kid gets a turn and wins the period.

In the second ... again, scoreless ... Bama wins the flip ... Vesta's D is tough ... Vesta can't score and loses.

Once in a while, you lose to the wrong kid, at the wrong time, in the wrong manner ... it really costs you. Such is what happened to Steve!

That situation will be remedied next year as there will be a rule change ... but it is too late for Steve-O!

Here are the final bouts!

Junior 105 Finals (Bout 1498) - Matt Rabinowitz (Louisiana) vs. Jeff Vesta (Kansas)
Junior 112 Finals (Bout 1503) - Nathan Furches (Kansas) vs. Kent Williams (Illinois )
Junior 119 Finals (Bout 1508) - Logan Stieber (Ohio) vs. Sharky Slyter (Kansas)
Junior 152 Finals (Bout 1529) - Kyle Detmer (Kansas) vs. Jake Bohn (Michigan)
Junior 160 Finals (Bout 1535) - Tyler Koehn (Kansas) vs. Mark Stenberg (Illinois )
Junior 285 Finals (Bout 1550) - Stephen Andrus (Kansas) vs. Niko Bogojevic (Wisconsin)

They are currently doing introductions and making some award presentations!

Wrestling will start in about 10 minutes!!

Jeff Vesta is up, facing Matt Rabinowitz of LA. Jeff is wrestling for 5th place!

The wrestlers are scoreless after 1-minute ... Rabinowitz wins the flip ... Vesta's defense is rock solid ... 30 seconds to go ... Vesta scores on the turn and wins the period, 2-0.

Again, scoreless ... again the flip is won by Rabinowitz ... Vesta's defense remains solid ... Vesta scores three ... Jeff Vesta wins, is your 5th place finisher, and is an All-American!!

Live feed is up again with Jason Bryant once again doing the live commentary.

I urge everyone to go to www.livesportsvideo.com for a free webcast!!!

Thanks Randy. I guess I kind of forgot to add the most important part of my post.

Nathan Furches is pitted against Kent Williams of Illinois.

(One thing that is difficult is trying to cover two matches that are occurring at the same time, especially when they are in differents parts of the arena. Nathan was wrestling at the same time as Sharky. Nathan was on a mat in which I could only see the clock. At first, I mistakenly reported Nathan as winning 3rd)

Nathan Furches did finish 4th and is an All-American!

Sharky is facing Steiber from Ohio but never can get anything going. Sharky who did a fantastic job to this point ... in earning the runner-up spot.

Sharky Slyter is an All-American!!

Man Sharky got hit in a pretty wicked front headlock. Congrats to him for making the finals though.

Yeah, That kid Slyter wrestled was ROWDY! Making the finals is a heck of an accomplishment though.

The kid the beat Sharky was just in Sports Illustrated last week or the week before as an athlete of the future.

And a correction, Nathan took 4th.

Kyle Detmer found Jake Bohn of Michigan a bit too tough. Kyle tried valiantly, but trailed throughout and was eventually pinned. Kyle finishes 8th as a first-year Junior and is an All-American!

Tyler Koehn, who looks like a 171-pounder was wrestling, Mark Stenberg of Illinois, who looked like a 189-pounder ... this matchup was at 160-pounds!

It was a very close battle and Tyler was not able to use his great gut for any offense ... he lost the match in 3-periods.

Tyler Koehn is an All-American!

Man, we are having a tough round ... maybe Steve Andrus can come through with a win!!

Big Steve is up ... scoreless after one ... the Badger wins the flip ... his defense is sound ... Steve can't score and loses the first period.

Again scoreless ... Big Steve wins the flip ... but he can't score ... neither can the Badger ... Steve wins the period.

It gets tough when your match is left to a flip ... but once again, in spite of hard work we have a flip ... Steve wins ... Steve can't score ... Steve Andrus wins! Andrus is an All-American!!

Kansas will finish a respectable 10th in this Greco championship! Overall ... a good outing!

The anticipation starts all over!! Tomorrow morning, it is Cadet Freestyle!

It's a beautiful morning in Fargo, ND! The temp right now in 66 but will rise to a balmy 82!!

For once (knocking on my head) we've had very mild weather the entire trip so far. Of course the 100's of hanging flower baskets that NDSU has lining their streets are flourishing. They always look good but this year they do look great.

Still, there is a lot of construction. We have a sidewalk and street crew working just outside our dorm. They start at 7 am and go until at least 7 pm. Those of you that have been reading for years are aware that I've often praised Fargo for their tremendous sidewalks ... and that still is the case!

The Student Union has gone through a complete rehab. Even the FargoDome has gone through extensive additions. It truly is quite a complex.

The arena itself is beyond dreams! On the floor, they can hold 23 mats, a head table that probably accomodates 75, and a media table that handles 20. Still, it does not feel crowded!! I truly wish we had something half that size back home.

The Cadet Freestylers have weighed in and wrestling starts at 9:30 am. In Greco, the youngers had 6 All-Americans. That included a National Champion!

How many All-Americans will we have in Freestyle ... will there be a National Champ?

Conservatively ... my estimate is 6 or 7 AA's ... and 1 National Champ! Here's to hoping I miss ... low!!

I can just picture you sitting up in the media section w/ some loud Hawaiian shirt on. Probably sitting far left. I know you love trackwrestling but I got to admit I am missing the nightly recap.

Jason locks up the near-side cradle for 1+2+1 and later gains another pair from his feet. Jason wins the third period!

Jason gains 2 on the crotch lift but give 1 back ... Kaspm gives one late but it doesn't matter. Jason Seibel who continues to impress me ... picks up the win!

Devon Keith thought he had scored a last second takedown to win the second period is his bout. But it was too late. The deciding third period ... Devon gains a pushout ... Devon scores a takedown ... suddenly his opponent shoots in deep, lifts Devon, and scores a 5-pointer. Devon loses his second bout.

Joshua Bush stays alive with a win by pin!

I've posted some photos from today's first Cadet Freestyle session.

Charbonneau takes his first loss in Freestyle.

Ryne Cokeley keeps on the winning path!

Daniel DeShazer wins again!

Zach Cook takes his first loss.

Bryce Hood wins one!

Chase Nelson has a bye this round!!

Riley Hunsiker lost the first period. In the 2nd, he opened up a 4-0 lead before his opponent scored 6 unanswered points. Riley loses.

Mario Carado suffers his second loss.

There are 1,027 Cadet participants representing 43 States and Puerto Rico!!

Zach Vesta picks up a win!!

I just noticed this match on the schedule:

Cadet 119 Round 4 (Bout 1156) - Critter Witte (Delaware) vs. Brandon Charbonneau (Kansas)

... I guess as long as the Critter made weight, Brandon has to wrestle ... it!

Here's a link to watch Chase Nelson's post championship interview.

http://wrestling.flocasts.org/videos/cov...et-145-gr-champ

WOW ... and the Critter was a beast ... pinned Charby in the second period.

DeShazer logs another win!

Ryne Cokeley wins the 1st, 7-1. He repeats and wins the next, 7-1!

Bryce Hood goes 3-periods with a foe from Pennsylvania ... Bryce loses the third and suffers his second loss.

It is another win for Parker Madl!!

Garrett Jones takes a second loss.

Jason Seibel lost his next match by pinfall ... that is Jason's first loss in Freestyle.

Nick Pursel won the 1st period, 4-3. He won the next, 6-0!

Patrick Cervantes wins a 3-period match!!

Wow I just checked out the Cadet 119 bracket. The wrestler that beat DeShazer in the grec finals (Aaron Runzo fo Virginia) went 1-2 in freestlye and is out of the tourney.

Is this kid just a greco kid or did he just get a tough draw?

Joshua Bush lost the 1st period, 1-7. In the second, he was pinned.

Leo Beck lost his second bout.

In my estimation ... Daniel would beat Runzo 7, maybe 8 times out of 10. The two cautions Daniel picked up were the deciding factor in the outcome!

But 119 is loaded ... Charby can attest to that! From what I've been told there were 66 entries for Greco and 97 entries for Freestyle.

I agree with your prediction on the 7 or 8 out of 10. I was just wondering. Wow 97 kids in one weight class thats huge.

John Denner is leading the first period 5-0 ... he picks up another point and wins the 1st. In the 2nd, Denner takes a 3-0 lead ... Big John scores the fall and advances!!

Jesse Austin suffers his second loss.

Tommy Williams takes his second loss.

Cadet 98 Round 4 (Bout 1399 Mat 6) - Brendan Walsh (Ohio) vs. Zack Vesta (Kansas)
Cadet 125 Round 5 (Bout 1464 Mat 3) - Ryne Cokeley (Kansas) vs. Joe Schumacher (N Dakota)

Cadet 285 Round 3 (Bout 1592) - John Denner (Kansas) vs. Ruben Herrera (California

Ryne Cokeley had a solid, workman-like, win!

Jason Seibel suffers his second loss in this tourney. Jason though, made a fairly good accounting for himself!

Zach Vesta "wrestled his best match of the day," according to Coach Peterman ... in winning 1-0, 2-1!

Patrick Cervantes scores with 2 seconds left to tie the match and win the period! In the second, Patrick takes a 2-0 lead ... he wins the period by pin! Cervantes made a huge sacrifice and reduced his weight for this tournament ... he's looked great ... and is the surprise of Team Kansas!

Chase Nelson, to nobodies surprise, picks up another win!

It took Parker a little while to get on-track but he does, winning 2-5,6-0,6-0!

Nick Pursel takes his first loss ... by fall.

John Denner loses the first period ... in the second period, he suffers a fall ... John takes his second loss.

Cadet 98 Round 5 (Bout 1618 Mat 18) - Zack Vesta (Kansas) vs. Valyen Rauser (Montana)
Cadet 119 Round 6 (Bout 1640 Mat 14) - Daniel Deshazer (Kansas) vs. Johnni Dijulius (Ohio)

Cadet 140 Round 5 (Bout 1681) - Patrick Cervantes (Kansas) vs. Tyler Lusht (N York)
Cadet 145 Round 5 (Bout 1695) - Chase Nelson (Kansas) vs. Tyler Dunne (N York)
Cadet 152 Round 5 (Bout 1701) - Bryce Hammond (California) vs. Nick Pursel (Kansas)

DeShazer takes a turn ... he is battling a foe from Ohio ... after 2-minutes the match is scoreless ... Daniel wins the flip ... Daniel quickly scores from the Freestyle clinch.

In the second ... Daniel scores on the duck-under ... and quickly takes a 5-0 lead on turns ... one last duck and Daniel wins!

Vesta loses by tech fall.

Cervantes continues to impress ... he wins another!

Chase found himself in an early hole but battled back for the pin!

Nick Pursel suffers his second loss.

Parker Madl won another to remain ... undefeated!

Randy,
Thanks for all your hardwork. I have sent an email to two sports writers in Wichita hoping to gain some more exposure for the Kansas guys. I would urge others to do the same (your local paper or news media)and include a link to this site so that the writers could follow along. Kansas is having great success and needs to strike while the iron is hot. Even though I'm not coaching in my new state (yet), I'm saddened that I have only 2 athletes from SC to follow in this event. Checking in on Kansas keeps the fire burning. Keep up the great work team Kansas!

Thanks ... yes we need to promote wrestling every chance we get. We also need to celebrate our successes!

Junior Freestyle starts in about an hour!!

I'd also like to thank Randy for his contributions in posting these updates. This morning, during one of the (way too many) meetings held up here, we were reminded that this is the 16th year that the Junior/Cadet National Championships have been held in Fargo. Included with our state's delegation at this event are some people who I believe have been here every one of those 16 years, and should receive acknowledgement. First are Chuck and Cherie Elvin - Cherie is here working as a pairings official and Chuck is here in his capacity as the assistant director of the Junior Council and board member of USA Wrestling. When the nationals were moved to Fargo, Chuck was the state chairman for Kansas.

Also included in this list are coach Dennis Charbonneau and mat official Mark Anderson, with coach Scott Rieck coming in close behind them. By comparison, I'm a newby on the block, experiencing my eleventh trip up here. Seven years ago I enticed Randy Hinderliter into coming with me to experience the event and, although he had to leave early that year, managed to thoroughly hook him - something that I'm sure is greatly appreciated by everyone following his reports.

Here is a complete list of this year's Kansas delegation, all of whom are working hard and representing your state well. If you know any of these individuals I would ask that you thank them for the work they do on behalf of our state and its athletes:

Junior Coaches:
Mike Garcia
Scott Rieck
Austin DeVoe
Jarrett Edison

Cadet Coaches:
Tom Peterman
Dennis Charbonneau
Russ Hermreck
Mike Church
Matt Jobe

Pairings Officials:
Cherie Elvin
Marcie Altman
Cindy Shavlik

Mat Officials:
Mark Anderson
Charles Knox
Drew Anderson

Other Delegates:
Chuck Elvin
Mike Juby
Randy Hinderliter

I want to take this moment to point out the efforts of a few others who do Kansas proud! That being our mat officials and our pairing officials.

Across the way beside Mat 1, our Mark Anderson is conducting a rules clinic. We are fortunate to have Mark. He is one of the fixtures at the National level competitions and Inter-Nationally he is becoming a key component.

Charlie Knox has been coming to Fargo for several years. His enthusiasm is contagious! Perhaps his greater asset to Team Kansas is as a club coach!!

Also filling the bill as a coach who officiate is Drew Anderson. Drew is a fantastic young man who is impacting the State and National scene.

Our pairing officials at Fargo are Marcie Altman, Cindy Shavlik and Cherie Elvin. Clearly, between those three, they help insure this tourney runs smooth!

Last but certainly now least is Chuck Elvin! As you know Chuck represents the needs of Kansas, sitting on several boards and committees' within USA Wrestling. And if those duties aren't enough, he is a constant fixture matside ... being a fan of Kansas wrestling and showing his support!!

There have been others in the past and hopefully there will be others in the future!

lol ... it seems we, the Jubster and I, had the same idea this morning!!

Vesta, Furches, Slyter, Ornelas and Lawrence all had opening wins!

Tanenbaum and Weiss open with loses.

Just saw Nathan's on the same side as Mango again. Gotta wrestle the best some time but it's a whole lot nicer when you don't have to wrestle them until the finals.

I also just saw the Tyler Caldwell made the trip up for freestyle and went 152. That'd be pretty awesome to see him and Detmer meet up in the AA round.

Ornelas loses.

Furches, Lawrence and Slyter log their second victories!

Tanenbaum wins!

Nick Hockett is pinned for his second loss.

Kendric Maple went 3-periods and perceivers!

Zac Sparr loses.

C.J. wins!

Adam Weiss takes his second loss.

Cameron Jesseph, of Chanute Blue Comets fame, scores a 6-0, 6-0 tech fall!

For those Kansas wrestlers who are losing out (or their parents), I just want to remind you that you are up against the toughest competition that this country has to offer.

Do not be discouraged.

This is the toughest of sports and you have trained very hard just to get there. The dues that you are paying now will pay huge dividends for you when the high school season rolls around!!

Summer wrestling makes winter champions!!

Thanks for committing yourselves to the task and for representing Kansas well!!!!

Erik Hinckley

Excellent post Erik!!

Walker, Means and Detmer all record wins!

Charland endures his second loss ... as Coach Hinkley would say ... thanks for your commitment.

Tyler Caldwell records another win!

So does Tyler Koehn!

Anson Worell wrestles well and lodges the victory!

Evan Royal takes his first loss.

Randy, any idea on why Shavlik withdrew?

Junior 135 Round 3 (Bout 1118) - C.J. Napier (Kansas) vs. Thrasher Porcher (Florida)

That might be an interesting match...

Here are the participant numbers for the last 4 years...

Junior Freestyle Nationals ’05 – 1173 ’06 - 1073 ’07 – 1138 ’08 – 1029
Cadet Freestyle Nationals ’05 – 1114 ’06 - 1080 ’07 – 1074 ’08 – 1027

Curtis,

I'm back at the dorm in between sessions, so I actually have better access to the Internet than Randy does right now! So I'll answer your question for him.

Shavlik failed to make weight for freestyle. Since the next weight class up did not have any available spots, he had to move up two weight classes (three weight classes above his Greco-Roman weight class). He went to medical with some pains after his first match, after which he withdrew from competition.

Nice win over Bintliff for Maple!

A great point Chief, as we might remember, we have National Champs that had a loss along the way!

oh, this is usawks1 on Juby's computer!

I just wanted to say thanks to everybody that continues to post the updated results and information. More people are checking your updates than may be passing out thanks. I just wanted to let you know my appreciation. Most of the time I'm too busy all day to post a comment but I am checking about 20 times a day on my PDA or work computer or home computer. Thanks for the updates!!!!!

Good job to all the Kansas wrestlers that are in Fargo, all of them.

That young man from Ohio that Dapper beat first thing this morning is a tough wrestler. That kid beat Dapper in Southern Plains and I believe Dapper has never beaten him before. Great Win for him. I'm sure the ones that wrestled both styles are getting tired and have a few aches and pains. Keep up the good work!! I'm watching and many more are too.

I also wanted to say thanks for the updates. Find myself checking out the posts and results every time I am close to a computer! Hopefully I'll be able to see the action in person sometime. Thanks again and it is really appreciated!

Cadet 125 RR2 (Bout ?) - Casey Lanave (N York) vs. Ryne Cokeley (Kansas)

Pack vs. Furches!

Figaro vs. Nelson!

Soto and Lanave vs. Cokeley!

Go Kansas!

I think that Cody Pack is going to forfeit due to injury.

Yes ... I just posted an edited copy of matches!

Furches was beaten by Mango.

Sharky finds some offense late. to win the 1st period, 3-1 ... he opens a 2-0 lead in the 2nd ... and quickly closes out the period, 6-0!

Chaz Lawrence suffers a lost.

DeShazer is up ... Daniel gains 1 ... Daniel is being pushed toward the boundary and then hits a 3+1 head-and-arm ... he wins the period. In the 2nd, he is trailing 3-4 ... Daniel loses the period. In the 3rd, he loses 0-1.

Ryne is up ... Ryne is trailing 1-2 but comes back to tie the match ... Cokeley takes the lead, 4-3 ... and wins the frame. In the 2nd, Ryne earns a pushout l ... Ryne is in deep ... the opponent is trying to crotch lift but Ryne freezes the position and earns the fall!

11 Juniors still alive!

Vesta - 3-1
Furches - 4-1
Slyter - 5-0
Maple - 3-1
Napier - 4-0
Detmer - 4-0
Caldwell - 4-0
Koehn - 4-0
Caylor - 3-1
Doxon - 3-1
Andrus - 4-0

At 125/Cadet FS....

4th place on the B side has been determined. The other 3 guys are:

Soto - 3 points - ONE match vs. Cokeley.
Lanave - 1 point - ONE match with Cokeley.
Cokeley - 0 points with TWO matches to go!

It is in Ryne's control to make the final. Win those two matches and he's in!

C.J. continues winning!

Kendric suffers a loss by pin.

At 130/Cadet FS...

If Parker Madl can beat Lofthouse, he will likely make the 3rd Place match! Lofthouse has a match with Ness also.

At 145/Cadet FS....

Nelson needs a little help to make the final. He has to beat Figaro and then needs Roulo to beat McMurray to have a shot.

Dapper lost to Brandon Wright and will wrestle for 7th place.

I greatly appreciate all the work you guys put in to provide us with this information. I am working over in England and it is great to be able to come to this forum whenever I am able to and get quick updates instead of making my way through the brackets.

You wrestlers are doing great, finish strong!!!!

Chase Nelson scores 1 on a takedown ... and again ... and again. Chase was in control throughout though he lost the second period. Chase used a variety of leg attacks in the win!

Tyler Caldwell wins by tech fall!

Detmer with the body lock for 5 ... in the 2nd, tosses for 3 ... gains a single ... gains a pushout ... and closes it out with a takedown!

Koehn with the tech fall!

Yesterday I spoke about the mat and pairing officials that proudly represent Team Kansas!

Today, I want to mention a couple of other groups! One, is the parents and family members of our wrestlers. As I get around the arena I hear fans cheering our wrestlers on ... those fans are loud and proud citizens of Kansas!

I must announce, that the "sweater vests" have arrived in Fargo! Yesterday, Coaches Keal and Albright arrived ... today I see coach Mike Medina is also present!

All of these folks make me proud I am from Kansas!

Doxon loses the first period, 0-6 ... Bob shored up his defense in the 2nd but loses, 0-1.

Andrus gains a pushout and late in the period, scores a takedown to win the first frame. In the 2nd, Steve wears down his opponent for a 3-0 period win ... Andrus wins!

Caylor wins!

Ryne is trailing early, 0-2 ... and loses the period. In the 2nd, Ryne takes the 2-0 lead ... the opponent scores but is it 1 or 2?? ... the result of the conference, Ryne wins 4-2. In the 3rd, the foe scores 1 ... Ryne makes a valiant effort but loses the period and the match.

Nathan Furches ... clinch in the 1st ... Nathan defends well and wins the period. Clinch again ... Nathan wins the flip ... but loses the period. Clinch again ... Nathan loses.

Parker Madl ... Parker takes the 1st period, 7-0. In the 2nd, the opponent scores on the takedown and later gains 3 on a toss ... Madl loses the period. In the 3rd, Utah with the score ... and Utah with the win.

2-4 on those six? Ouch!

C.J. takes his first loss.

... and they show Ryne Cokeley is in the finals!!

Sharkey with a huge win!

It is true about Cokeley. He is in the finals despite the loss! He knew before the match that all he needed was 1 point. He will have Trujillo in the finals!

Wow...

At 145, Nelson had 4 points in the medal round and was in a 3 way tie. Due to the tie-breaker rules, Roulo is in the finals even though Chase beat him! The classification points had Roulo at 27 and Chase at 26, due in part to a bye that Chase had!

Classification points are ahead of head-to-head????

That hurts. Chase will wrestle for 3rd place.

... and in the mysteries that are part of wrestling, Tyler Caldwell wrestled far better than Gutches but loses.

Kyle Detmer loses.

The live feed does not seem to be working. Anyone else having issues?

24/7

It shows on the schedule that it begins at 5:00 Central for the live feed. (for the webcast)

They are wrestling now! Moeder, Horan pinned Thielke???? What is your take on that. I know Horan is tough but wow.

24/7

Horan just beat Stieber at 112 for the championship. So I guess he is that good.

24/7

Daniel DeShazer wins the first-period, 2-0. Loses the 2nd, 0-2. In the 3rd, Daniel can't muster any offense, losing 0-1.

Daniel DeShazer is a double All-American for Team Kansas!

Ryne Cokeley faces Trujillo for the finals. Trujillo scores the quick takedown ... Ryne evens it with a takedown of his own ... Trujillo scores another and wins the period, 1-2.

Ryne in the 2nd, scores 1 takedown to Trujillo's 3.

Ryne Cokeley settles for the runnerup spot and also is an double All-American!!

Parker Madl beats Kyle Ash 5-0, 6-0! Great tournament for Madl!

Parker Madl earns a 5th place finish in these Championships!!

Parker Madl is an All-American!!

All 3 of these matches were going on at the same time ... makes it interesting for coaches and reporters!

24/7: Horan's matches suprise me also. Taylor beat him last year at middle shcool duals so I thought maybe the Thielke match was just a case of "getting caught", but to then beat Steiber also gives all the validity needed. He's obviously been working and improving!!


Way to Go Kansas All Americans!! Great Job!

Chase Nelson finishes 3rd! Chase won the 2nd period in the clinch and won the 3rd on a pushout!!

Nelson lost only 1 match while in Fargo! Up here, it is such a mental grind, if your wrestle both style you have to make weight four times plus the quality of competition is second to none!!

Chase Nelson is a Greco National Champ and 3rd place finisher in Freestyle!

It was a great match! C.J. loses to Kindig, 1-1, 2-2.

Great job cadets, juniors and the ladies. At least 1 finalist in every group. Mutiple AA's and many great battles by all the wrestlers. One more day. My index finger is killing me from clicking back and forth between trackwrestling, usawks, & themat.

My Bronze training has taught me to apply the R.I.C.E. formula for those strains and sprains!!

I've learned from some up here that B.A.R.L.E.Y. works well too ... in fact I think I will try that tonight!

I must admit though that some of these wrestlers our boys were running into are a step above! If we ever hope to crack that top 5 we, as coaches and as a State, need to step it up!!

The final morning of the 2008 Cadet/Junior Championships!

Steve Andrus is a double All-American, taking 2nd in this tourney!

A few quick observations ... the 2008 edition of Team Kansas represented the folks back home, with class, and a lot of hard work!

Even those that went 0-4 for the Fargo trip ... the experience should have been tremendous! Now, take a few days off ... then get in the weight room and work on your core strength exercises!

We had several wrestlers that made an impression in Fargo! We have a bunch that were just one or two matches short ... keep after it and improve in the technical areas!

The final tallies for All-Americans were pretty good for Kansas! We have two National Champs!! But I for one, am greedy and want more!

The experience of Fargo is something every wrestling fan should experience! As a few of our coaches have said, "it's all about the stories!" And ... it truly is!

That's it for now ... ttfn

I, for one, would like to increase our placing in these results! How do we accomplish that?

We need to increase the number of wrestlers we take to this tourney! My rough estimate would be that the top tier States are talking over 40 wrestlers each. For instance, Ohio had 133 entrants in the Freestyle-division alone. We had 53!

However, numbers alone do not mean success! New Jersey had 18 Cadets entered in Greco and they scored, 32-points. In Cadet Freestyle, Oklahoma had 16 entered and they also scored 32-points. Also in Junior Greco we had 17 wrestlers that scored 26-points!

We need to increase the numbers AND the quality! We all realize that Kansas left several quality wrestlers at home and perhaps that is a separate discussion. But as I said in an earlier message we have wrestlers that need to increase their core strength and we have a few that have plenty of stregth that got beaten by superior technique. However, we have a bunch that need, increased strength and technique.

But that takes decidacation! Maybe we need an increased level of dedication … and dedication beyond themselves! We need to make a serious effort to improve in all areas. Also, I am not sure in that past several years we have made a serious run at the team spirit award. Are we really supporting each other the way we should?

We also need increased dedication by our coaches! The level of commitment by our Cadet and Junior staffs is outstanding but they have wrestlers coming to them in June that have limited skills. This too, I have talked about before but overall, our coaches, whether kids level, middle school level or high school, need to develop a higher skill level in our wrestlers!

I guess I’ve said enough for now … it’s your turn!!

I think our biggest problem is dedication all around whether it be the kids, coaches or even in some cases the parents. I think one thing that would be a big help is if more clubs offered summer wrestling programs. That would make it more available to kids that may not be able to make it to the few cities with clubs. I think we also need more tourney's. It's hard to get mat time when there's only a handful of tournaments offered in the state before the big tourneys come up.

Another thing I think hurts our results is that it doesn't seem like our kids take as much pride in Fargo as some of the top tier states do. Our kids are focused on high school state a whole lot more than Fargo, which is understandable. Other states though like Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania to name a few, have a lot more pride when it comes to Fargo.

I think we've got the wrestlers, and the coaches to be able to wrestle with any state in the country though. We just haven't made it over that hump yet. I think with a little more dedication out of everybody will get us up and over the hump and we'll be right there with the top 3 states.

I am new to Kansas Wrestling, a transplant from Montana. While Montana is not necessarily known as a hotbed for wrestling, the state has produced some exceptional talent. I won't pretend to know the training plan that was established for Team Kansas, so I apologize up front if I am speaking way out of turn. I just want to share a vignette on my experience with summer wrestling as it was one that I believe contributed to a great deal of success for me and my team mates. We used to pile into vans and go to 2 camps prior to leaving for tournaments in Vegas, Indianapolis etc.. The first camp was a week in Great falls Montana under the supervision of our very best high school coaches and other clinicians in the state. We would then move in our vans to a 10-day intensive camp in Oregon where we trained and wrestled against teams from Washington, Oregon, Idaho...even a few kids from Canada. The bottom line is that these camps were not one-a-day practices. They were intense camps with morning conditioning, technique and situation live sessions in the morning and afternoons, and live wrestling in the evenings. Iron sharpened iron in these sessions, and we were absolutely prepared to wrestle in the national tournaments. But, we also formed a tight-knit family of wrestlers based on the hardships we shared in these camps. I offer this because I think there are opportunities to partner with adjacent states to generate some pre-fargo training experiences that would improve performance. Just some thoughts...

This is going to be a bit long but since the door is opened, here's my 2 cents......

I also come from Montana and agree with what Mike said. I submit that the biggest difference is that our kids season was only 3 months long (Jan to March) and we wrestled freestyle, not folkstyle in kids club.

Given the way things are here in KS, I offer these thoughts....

1. I am not sure if I agree with the dedication on the kids or coaches comments. I think we have bunch of people dedicated to the sport of wrestling. I think the season my be too long. We start practice in November and go to the end of March (that's folkstyle), then you transition into freestyle/greco from Apr to July, throw in a camp or two during the summer, now start pre-season training (Aug to Oct) for those not playing football, etc. Do you need to do this to AA at Fargo.....absolutely. The challenge becomes time and resources for coaches and parents. I think if the folkstyle season for kids were shorter, then more would do freestyle and greco. This in turn would help their experience base when they get to be Cadets.

2. I would like to see more emphasis put on a "grassroots" training program for coaches that focuses on freestyle and greco. One of the reasons we don't see the # of clubs offering freestyle/greco is because we lack experience for coaching.

Proposed Solution: Establish a "Train the Trainer" type program. This involves establishing a baseline of freestyle and greco technique that we want all the kids to know. Get a group of experienced coaches and develop teams of trainers that can teach other coaches this technique and how to coach it at practices. Develop a teaching methodology that can be taught to these new coaches. These teaching teams then could go to clubs that want to start or improve thier freestyle/greco programs. The focus would be on training coaches. We could leave them with practice plans and dvd's so they can review and refresh once the clinic is over.
I think this would help train the coaches and grow the freestyle/greco training base in our state.

2. Establish regional freestyle/greco training sites. This would allow us to share coaches and the workload. This would also allow us to bring in upper level athletes to offer clinics. I think bringing in Lindsay Durlacher was an awesome idea. It would be great to be able to offer a 3-5 day freestyle/greco clinic and bring in that level of instruction. We are spoiled in NE KS because we have one of the best (Erik Akin) that helps a lot of the kids in this geographic area.

This is a lot of rambling but if we really want to improve our freestlyle/greco then there are 2 issues we must resolve....

1. Length of folkstyle season. Too long, too many resources for coaches, kids and parents in order to then do freestyle.

2. Improve freestyle/greco coaching base so more clubs feel comfortable offering freestyle/greco.

Just my thoughts.

Shawn Budke

As for #2 ... in the past several years, we have tried to offer USAW Silver College in Kansas at the Southern Plains camp. All three times it failed miserably due to a lack of numbers.

Also twice, I think, at the Southern Plains camp we did have a coaches camp. I believe the most he ever had in those offerings was five!

Perhaps Kansas will be best known as a Folkstyle state! Perhaps our coaches do not see the benefit in Summer wrestling!

... and perhaps that is a testament of the why I don't see #1 ever happening!

Perhaps Kansas will be best known as a Folkstyle state! Perhaps our coaches do not see the benefit in Summer wrestling!

For those who desire taking their wrestling to the next level - Do college coaches see the benifit in Summer Programs?

Will college coaches also somewhat favor a kid that is somewhat average in folkstyle, but has a good freestyle / Greco back ground over say someone who has none at all?

What we run into with the Summer program is it seems we are loaded with the lighter weights and for most of the kids 160lb and above practice partners are few and far between, and they are getting most of their live full blown competition is at the camps or the tournaments.
