I want to thank all of the parents, coaches, and supporters for making this happen. We took 73 wrestlers from all four corners of the state up to Iowa. For many this was their first real wrestling road trip and I think I can speak for all them when I said that they had a great time. They got to wrestle kids from Iowa, Wyoming, Montana, Ohio, Michigan, and other states. They got to experience a team event and make friends with wrestlers from all over Kansas. The wins were great but to me the friendships these kids made are really what it is all about. I hope we can keep this event going and that we can think about taking even more kids next year! Thanks again to all that helped especially: Doug Vanderlinden and Matt Collins (3 year MSND veterans!), Joel Hood, Eric Luedke, Aeron Hill, James Fox, Doug Eck, Dal Eck, John Johnson, Jerry Baurle, Tom Williams (legal assistance and general counsel), Freddy Medina (he is the man! He got a van in Garden City and brought several wrestlers and dads up!), Loren Armstrong and his wife, and all of the supporters (parents and grandparents from all over Kansas!)
