On behalf of the KWCA Board of Directors, I want to thank everyone who attended, presented, or lent a hand in making the 2016 Fall Clinic the success that it was. From the headliner, Kevin Jackson, to the breakout session presentations to the Hall of Fame speeches, there was something for everyone.

As we look to the upcoming season, I want to thank Travis Keal (Mill Valley High School), Kale Mann (Blue Valley High School), and James Renfro (Cherryvale High School) for their service to the board. Their dedication to wrestling in the state of Kansas is appreciated.

We want to welcome several new members to the board. Patrick Naughton (Lawrence High School) will be taking on the 6A Representative position. Doug Kretzer (McPherson High School) has accepted the new Girl’s/Woman’s Representative position.
