We arrived, 54 on one flight, 8 on another, and a few found their own way!

Team Kansas has brought 34 of their finest and will put them on display for the rest of the Nation!

So far (knock on wood) things have gone quite well for the Kansas contingent! Flights, bus rides, hotel check ins, gear check outs, etc. A ton of credit for all of this has to go to the Elvin's for organizing this trip for a couple of decades.

At 6 am today the boys got a wake up call and at 7 am were at the venue for their team pictures. Then a brisk workout, expertly led by Travis Keal, till about 8:30!

Now, most are back in the rooms catching a bit of a nap (where I'll be in a few) in preparations for weigh-ins at 2 pm.

There is wrestling going on which is being covered by our other Internet Wizards! I'll get over to watch some of that action later.

At 10:30 tomorrow morning our Seniors step on the mat! Here's to hoping they have it strapped on early, for there are no warm-up matches in this tourney!!

I do have a few added duties this year but I will try (as well as others posting) to keep you all up to date on the happenings from the Beach!!


Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
