I'm sorry we ran out of food in the cafeteria. When I ordered the supplies from F & A, we were only planning on 350-400 wrestlers which was the number we had registered on Monday. Imagine my surprise when the number swelled to 500+ on Thursday. By Saturday, the number was around 560. Thankfully, we had plenty of food in the concession stand but unfortunately, not enough hamburgers or bisquits and gravy. (I almost had a heart attack when I looked into the cafeteria and it was packed with hungry wrestlers and their families at 6:30am!, I knew we would probably run out of biscuits/gravy by 8:30) Next year, I promise I will double our order to F & A.

I would like to take this time to thank the Manhattan, Junction City and Abilene wrestling club for working tables at our tournament. I would also like to thank all of the Chapman high school students who freely volunteered their Saturday to spend the day in the gym running all kinds of errands, filling in brackets, working tables, and cleaning up two gyms after a hard day of work. Many of these kids had never been to a kids wrestling tournament before or have any vested interest in wrestling. I do think though we made more than a few fans of the sport by the end of the day. They all seemed to enjoy it.
