I am sure Chief is one of Weigels biggest fans, and he knows pound for pound Weigel is one of the best if not the best wrestler in the state of kansas this year.

As far as Wiesner being WOY, I think he is having a great season, but I do not think he is in the same class as the rest of the wrestlers listed above. He went 1-2 last year at kids state, and his behaviors on and off of the mat is also something to take notice of. I have only seen him wrestle once this year, and he did show some class during his match which is much better than in the years past. I wish him the best of luck at state.

I guess you missed the national article I wrote on our Senior class in KS for the premier college wrestling site, Intermat.

Preston Weigel was ranked.......#1. Class 321A had three wrestlers in my Top 10. My heavyweight wrestler on my championship Liberty National dual team this last weekend, spent the night with his brother at my house the night before.....was from Oakley. The best dual team in Kansas is Garden City. On my All-Class Dual teams that compete in Denver, I annually choose wrestlers from all over Western Kansas to join my teams.

The truth be told and the evidence presented.... I love Western Kansas! WKT (Western Kansas Tough!)

After watching 321a championships tonight I think I may have to say Wuthnow or Humphreys would be my pick. Both were very dominan. Lambotte probably didn't wrestle his best match, but still got the win, which shows how good he is. But the way Wuthnow controlled the entire match against one of the best in the state in Grater If I had a choice for WOY I would probably go with him.

A big Congrats to both Lambotte and Humphreys on being 4Xers

I always thought Brandon Ball was a Senior, but the last couple of programs (including state) have listed his as a Junior. Does he wrestle high school again next season?

I believe they pic a senior from each classification but if we are talking about the BEST high school wrestler in Kansas this season it is hands down Preston Weigel. He had all the tools and a good head on his shoulders. His arm length and hand size are made to order for wrestling. He has riding down and turning guys is not a problem. He is the best D1 prospect I have watched. He is truly a man amoung boys. He will do well, I believe, right away in a college room.

Will,
I agree 100% with Preston being one of the best if not the best in Kansas this year. He is also a class act on and off of the mat. It has been great watching Preston grow through the years in the Russell program and then through the Hays wrestling programs.

In another thread on the forum I listed him as one of the most dominant wrestlers of all time in Kansas prep wrestling.

I think everyone will agree that Weigel is the best wrestler this year. He gave up only 1 point the entire tournament and that was only because he cut his opponent. He teched each opponent in the first period except for the final, and that was over within seconds of the second period. He was never in trouble and was the immediate aggressor from the whistle.

There wasn't a person in the entire building this weekend who would've been able to challenge him. Absolutely impressive.

I heard a Senior Academically but a Junior Athletically! He is something special that's for sure.

I know Weigel is hard to argue against, but take a look at Josiah Seaton. Probably the toughest state bracket of any A, 4A 113. he pinned everyone on his way to being an undefeated State Champion. Pretty impressive, and Congratulations!

I would agree with Tyson. I have never seen anyone physically control my son on the way to pinning him the way Josiah did. I have not seen Prieto wrestle this year, but I can't imagine anyone from Kansas beating Seaton right now.

Prior to the state tounrament, at 3a with Ball being a junior (otherwise he would have been my choice), I was leaning toward Humphrey, but after watching the 3a tournament, my vote at 3a would be for Wuthnow. Wuthnow's dominance of Grater and Humphrey's 1 point win over J. Ball were what caused me to change my vote. Side note...Wuthnow's conditioning is incredible.

But Seaton didn't even have the best performance in 4A. Wasn't there another wrestler who didn't get scored on?

I have to go with Wuthnow as well. Wow.

I am basing it off his ranked competition in that bracket, and his overall record.

They were impressive no doubt. I mean no disrespect to Seaton. But anytime I see a wrestler who wasn't scored on, that is the stuff of legends. That's almost Gablesk. I believe it was a 152 pounder but I'm not sure of his name.

Weigel took 2nd as a freshman at 152. And has done nothing but be dominant since then. Im sorry but its easier to be good at a lower weight than at a heavier weight due to the fact of the age group you wrestle against are mostly underclassmen. Weigel hands down is the second best wrestler i have EVER seen in Kansas, and should be WOY hands down.

if you were there you would know the Ball Humphrey match wasn't any where near that close.

Sorry, i'm so stupid! I thought this thread was about wrestler of the year, not high school career.
