It would also help if any one is aware of other KS wrestlers competing at any of the other attending schools. I know Newman out of Wichita has several. Please ADD to this thread !
Also if there are any other standouts that were big names or
WILL be in the national TITLE hunt !! .....Thanks
*One Last Thing*
If you are attending-please reply by posting your name-city
** Even better-if any adults out there from each kids club
would be willing to stick your neck out and say- hey I am from
####, KS kids club and will take 4 kids and so on.
Prob won't happen but would it not have been great to have a few reps from each kids club walking in wearing their indiv team colors and wearing a medal around their neck to show that this is where it starts. And see all those Kids Wrestlers in their colors dispersed throughout the gym !! Wow, ..that would be a good start !!
