This is great. I am trying to keep still I am so nervous not being there. Wrestle tough. Thanks for the updates. Keep them coming.

Carroll Jr. Wrestling

Chief,
Wow, some realy great wrestling. I appreciate the updates. I can't get away from the computer, since I can't get Alex to call at least every 10 minutes!

1st round of 32 results! All three KS teams are now 2-2.

Kansas Gold - 55
Tennessee - 38

Kansas Blue - 54
Michigan B - 28

Kansas Red loses to South Dakota. I'm unsure of the final score but Kansas had a lead and lost it in the upper weights. I'll try and get the Red team's individual stats posted a little later. They have a bye next round and are done for the day.

Kansas Gold is just starting their last dual of the day against Nebraska White and Kansas Blue has the Montana A team. If they both win.....they wrestle each other first thing tomorrow!

P. S. Reece Conklin injured his shoulder (not severe) and is not expected to return. Kansas got an alternate from another team to fill in for him.

Kansas Gold is beating Nebraska 28-0 so far. Kansas Blue is tied 6-6 with Montana's A team. This is a dated update. I should have a final by 7:30.

Still in progress...

Kansas Gold - 54
Nebraska White - 11

Leupold just won 4-3 in the 152 match. KS Gold will advance to tomorrow's quarter-final against the winner of Montana A and KS Red.

Kansas Red - 15
Montana A - 35

It is a tall order for KS Red to win this one.

If Kansas Gold beats Montana A tomorrow, they will face an incredibly tough Illinois Gold team in the Semis. Illinois faces Nebraska Red in the other quarter-final. I hopefully will have finals on these as well as updated individual results tonight.

These duals are fantastic. Kansas has to make these Middle School Duals a priority in the years to come. Taking 60 Kansas middle schoolers to wrestle for their state against the nation's best competition is an awesome preparation for High School!

Go Kansas!

Kansas Blue did lose to Montana A, setting up a Kansas Gold vs. Montana A quarter-final tomorrow. I should have all of the details by 9:30pm.

Here are the results for Kansas Red today:

They went 2-2. North Dakota (W), Ohio Team Jordan (L), Iowa White (W) and South Dakota (L).
