The nominating committee for the Kansas Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame met May 04, 2005 in Emporia and selected the following nominees from the Northeast section of the state. The Northeast section includes the City of Emporia and the approximate area bounded by Highway 56 East and West to Highway 77 North. Counties included in this District are Doniphan, Atchison, Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Johnson, Douglas, Shawnee, Wabaunsee, Geary, Riley Washington, Marshall, Nemaha, Brown, Jackson, Jefferson, and Pottawatomie.
The nominating committee is seeking review of the following list to ensure we have not forgotten any deserving candidate. The list of nominees, after information is gathered supporting each nominee, will be culled to ten finalists. The ten finalist’s application will then be submitted to the National Wrestling Coaches Association for final approval to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Please review the list, and if there is a nominee you believe the committee has inadvertently forgotten, please contact the undersigned or a member of the committee.
The deadline for applications is May 20, 2005!
