We started to sense some of the same things that Jeremiah pointed out in our corner of the state.
Last summer, we started the Southeast Kansas Takedown League in Burlington to help wrestlers in southeast and east central Kansas. Our goal was to allow wrestlers to improve their technique on their feet and compete in a variety of takedown competitions.
We had 25 wrestlers (sixth through twelfth grade) from West Elk, Eureka, Chanute, Iola, Burlingame and Burlington included in the group were several high school and club level state qualifiers, state placers and state champions. I can list them later if interested.
League Nights are Tuesdays from June 2nd to June 30th for 5 weeks from 6:30 to 8 p.m. We are hoping to have between 40 and 50 wrestlers this summer on 3 mats. Here is the PDF file with our league information:
