High School Seniors Commit to Wichita State University
The recruiting class of 2012 is already promising to be a good one for the Shocker Wrestling Team. Team administration has been working hard since the beginning of the season to bring in a great group of freshmen that will make an impact during the 2012-2013 season. A couple of high school seniors from the class of 2012 have verbally committed to wrestling with Wichita State next fall.

Taber Barrientez comes to Wichita State via Campus High School in Haysville, KS where he wrestled for Coach Travis Bourn. Taber was KSHSAA 6A State Tournament qualifier in 2011. He will be coming to Wichita State to study nursing.

Tyler Higgins comes to Wichita State via the new Goddard Eisenhower High School where he wrestled for Coach Enrique Espinoza. He was a two time regional finalist and a three-time member of the all-league team. Tyler was two-time state qualifier for the KSHAA State Tournament. In 2011 he placed 4th in the class 6A championship. Tyler also does great work in the classroom. He has a 3.8 GPA and is a member of the National Honor Society. Tyler is still undecided on a major.


myers shox, is this an article from the Wichita State wrestling club website or the WSU website? If it is please post the link and then I will put on the list. As of now I will list them as Pending Confirmation.
