Overall I believe it was an awesome experience for everyone who made the trip. Lots of great wrestling and all of the kids had a great time. Will did an excellent job of organizing this trip, 60 kids involved and it went off with out a hitch. Congratulations to Taylor Moeder who went undefeated at 8-0, Ryne Cokeley and Camron Leupold both went 7-1. There were also quite a few that only had two or three losses for the tournament. Great job guys!

My wife and I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything Will C. and Eric J. did to make National Middle School Dual teams come together. Also a big THANK YOU to Tom B., Dal E. and Tim M. for coaching the gold team, they did a great job. Then we can’t forget the other coaches and parents, because without them this couldn’t have taken place THANK YOU SO MUCH. It takes very special and dedicated people to make an event like this take place and it seems here in Kansas we have those very people.

Devon had a great time and I am sure he will never forget this opportunity. What a great experience for him and the other kids from Kansas. My wife and I thought it was great to see kids and parents from across the State who before this weekend had never met, come together and cheer for each other as if they had been a team for several years. Also it was great to see coaches who had never met a kid, coach that kid as if they had been coaching them for several years. They all truly became a TEAM.

Our hope is that many more kids in years to come will have this same opportunity. The experience and camaraderie, gained during this weekend is unmatched. The tournament was very well run, and the experience of having the dual team format was exciting and gave these kids the opportunity to participate in duals similar to what they will be soon facing in their high school years.

Will, if there is anything that I can do to help ensure that future kids get this opportunity, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I feel that Kansas kids should have this opportunity and if there is anything I can do to help make sure this happens, I will.

WAY TO GO TEAM KANSAS – GOLD, BLUE AND RED!!!

Note: These are the "Official" Kansas Red Results. We had 4 great alternates on Kansas Red. We worked hard to rotate our guys so that each wrestler competed in at least one dual Saturday and Sunday both. However, the tournament officials did not catch this as they were updating our wrestler's records. We notified them of the corrected records and each of the 10 guys listed above earned the medals out to the side of their names.

A special thanks to Will Cokeley for organizing another successful Middle School national team. He has taken over 100 kids on 5 teams in 2 years and showed that our Kansas kids can compete with the best of the best. Also, thanks to the parents that coached, drove vans, were room supervisors, ran tables, and more importantly found the resources to allow their kids to compete for Team Kansas.

Thanks to Matt Collins (Emporia Wrestling Club Head Coach) for another great run in coaching Kansas Red. We have been 8-7 over the past 2 years with 2 third place finishes in Brackets. He is a great guy to work with and a great coach! (Plus, Coach Matt I stayed awake the entire road trip this year. ha!) Also thanks to Phil McComb, Dave Hudson, Butch Drylie, Bob Roman and Mike Skillman for helping out everytime we asked. Also, thanks to the Kansas Red Parents for making the trip and being Loud & Proud!!

Hi Richard Salyer -

I just wanted to make a quick correction to your post for Jared McComb of the Red team.

His record was 5-2 and one loss was to Team Jordan!

I want to agree with everyone else that this was an amazing opportunity for the boys and I know Jared looks forward to the opportunity to compete again next year.

Thank you to everyone involved and especially Will for organizing it.

The results were obtained from the AAU website at the following link.
AAU Wrestling!

Scroll down to AAU Middle School Duals and there are two links for team results and individual results

If the results listed for your son are incorrect it is quite likely there are additional errors.

I now have pictures of all three teams. The Blue pic is not as good as Gold and Red, but maybe someone can send me another. If anyone wants a pic, please email me at wilgt@msn.com. Also, please pass this along as I think not everyone looks at the site.

Thanks, Tom Williams
