A great day! The tournament staff put on a good tourney. Top quality participants, great mat time, and great fun. Plus, I got to meet some great people...especially Mr Giesen and Slade.

A big "THANKS" to: KCWC (Gunner Waugh) for paying the bill, Sean McCarthy for organizing our teams and coaching Blue, and Akin/Madl for helping me coach Red.

While all three Kansas teams represented us well, KC Matside Red Team inspired me. These guys showed true grit. We were thin and the competition was tough, but we kept a positive attitude, showed some great sportmanship, and really got scrappy. Throughout the day, I heard soo many compliments on our wrestlers. Not just their athleticism, but great attitudes too.

"Great job guys": Parker Madl, Sergio Salazar, Tony Livengood, Eric Grant, Patrick Cervantes, Jake Akin, and Slade Giesen. A special "thank you" to Tony Livengood; helped out and led by example.
