We are excited that former EKWC member, Zach Roberson, has joined our coaching staff. He will be leading several of our scheduled Tuesday and Thursday workouts for the Spring/Summer season and, he will be a part of our tournament coaching staff.

In addition, Roberson will be offering group training on Mondays. This is a great opportunity for serious wrestlers to learn from one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of the state of Kansas.

Here are the details to Zach’s group training:

Please take note: These sessions are for all ages but not all levels. Wrestlers must be capable of learning techniques at a fairly fast pace, as well as drill effectively for extended periods of time. Workouts will also include live sparring and exhausting conditioning.

Zach’s sessions start Monday, April 13th
Times: 6:30 to 8:00pm Every Monday.
Location: St. James Academy
Cost: $10 per practice.

Wow! Looks like Ryne Cokeley will get somebody to push him HARD!

;-)

You mean, "another somebody" to push him hard? Ryne all ready has about 4 to 5 former or current college guys that push him weekly. It isn't like he is "starving" for workout partners at East Kansas by any stretch of the imagination. He has Phippen, Zach Allen, myself, and guys like Nathan McCormick who show up from their colleges on a regular basis when they are in town.

Steel sharpens steel.

Reminder: tonight is the first session that Zach's group training begins. See original post on this thread for info.

i have been to a small amount of your practices and i was wondering how many higher weights like 160 and above actually come to practice becuase heavier kids seem to be in short supply

If you are looking for a good big man room at St. Thomas Aquinas we have a few bigger guys. It is a good big man room.

Some of our 160 and above:

Tyler Baughman 165, Lansing
Jake Akin, 175 Gardner
Spencer Wilson 165, Lawrence
. . . and several more from various schools.
