Coach Jake Klein and Myself will be hosting some Senior National Practices at Kapaun Mt. Carmel at 5:00 beginning Wednesday March 7th, 2012. Our goal is to work with other area schools and come up with a list of practice times and dates from this work-out.

In the past we have had a very nice showing of Senior Athletes training for VA, Beach! Let's get started training and preparing to become All-Americans.

Please post if you plan on attending. I will also post updates from each practice including participants.

If you don't know Jake Klein he was a 4 X High School State Champion and a 2 X NCAA Division I All-American at the University of Nebraska.

Good luck state wide in your training men!!!

P.S. I will post weekly practice dates and times up until the we leave for VA BEACH after this first practice!

STEAL SHARPENS STEAL

Klein was "only" a 3 X High School State champ. Either way a darn good wrestler.

I think you might have merged his bio with Doug Hoover, another Kapun wrestling great.

Doug Hoover Bio

No, I knew that... I just accidentally hit 4... Those keys are close together on the keyboard Many apologies... haha!

Either way... He is pretty legit to train with!

... and did you accidentally say "steal sharpens steal" or are you planning on financing your VA trip by alternate methods?

Not contradicting anyone so please no comments but you have to be a heck of a lot better than "a darn good wrestler" and "pretty legit to train with" to be a 2XD1AA. Klein is a "bona fide beasty bad ass" and that is an understatement.

Hunter Weddington 170 will be at the workouts

Good information to know! Will get my son there. Can we bring a couple of kids who are not Seniors but will be competing in Va?

Coach Church,
Alex Bontz and several others from ACHS will be there tomorrow night.
I think ACHS will also be available to throw in the mix for locations.
See you tomorrow night to discuss.

Tyler Lowe 182 and Colt Castlebury 195 will be there

Colton Duhr will also be there tonight.

LOL!!!!! Thank goodness I am a math teacher Appreciate the call out Randy!!

There will be open room workouts for high school wrestlers competing in the next month (Kids Club, Corn Cob Classic, Virginia Beach) at Kapaun Mt. Carmel at 5:00 Monday through Thursday. We had 16 wrestlers yesterday representing many of the weight classes. Hope to see everyone there.

And . . . its 'iron sharpens iron'. It must be pick on Coach Church day today. Grin.

Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

If you don't mine my asking . . . is Mr. Matt Reed going to wrestle in this event?

Thanks.

Is practice this week 3-12 still at Kapaun?

Yes... I will not be there today as I have a meeting at my church at 4:15 but Jake Klein will be there as well as other coaches from the area! Work hard and have a great week gentlemen!!!

And yes, Mr. Reed will be on the trip to the Beach!

Church

Practice for Thursday the 15th is canceled. Many of our wrestlers will be in Colorado, some at banquet, and others at NCAA Championships. We will pick back up on Monday the 19th at 5pm in the Kapaun wrestling room.

Practice has been great. Intense. Guys in the room are working hard. If your not there, you are missing out.

KLEIN

Coach Klein,

Thanks for setting up and running these practices. I hear they have been intense and productive with a great group of wrestlers!

Thanks to Dalton Miller of Arizona State for attending practice yesterday. It's Spring Break and after a long D1 season he finds a wrestling room to help out and roll around in.

Jake I would also like to thank you for taking the time to make this happen!

Church

Great work-out today men! See you all at 5:00 Wednesday ready to grind another day!!!!
