Job well done to all the seniors and their families on their entire high school careers. I know a lot of you wrestled at State this week and did quite well. Congratulations to all of you seniors for your academic and athletic accomplishments during your high school careers. Good luck to all of you in your college and future work careers. I know the Kansas wrestling community is proud of all of you.
