Well another GREAT weekend is behind us , and what a sucess it was. But it takes some really good people to pull off running such a great event.
Tom Richard who was the man who came up with a great plan for weigh-ins and it has never run smoother. He also is the hardest working man I know this past weekend trying to keep me on task, and that is not easy and he does. Plus for the past year he has been brain storming trying to come with things to make this years tournament bigger and better. If I know Tom he is already thinking about next year...Thanks Tom
Leanna Buckley for her work at the head table to keep us running on time. Plus the work she does behind the scenes a month in advance is the reason we have a great event...Thanks Leanna
Jim Lund and his small army of Track Wrestling workers. Matside scoring was a nice new feature this year... Thanks Jim
Mark Stanley and his Giant army to help set and tear down. Everyone is tired and wants to go home but Mark and his crew are tearing down cleaning up the expo...Thanks Mark
District Directors who find the volunteers to work tables, push the drink carts, sweep and mop mats, do weigh-ins. We could not do it with you!!!
Our officals who put in a long weekend and what a great group we had this year.
Our wreslters and family's Thank You...for the time and effort you put in to your season.
To the City of Topeka who provided the wrestlers a free meal after weigh-ins and a t-shirt to the champions of each age bracket. Plus thanks again for hosting us.
As you can see it takes a lot people to pull off a great weekend in Topeka, Thanks to each and everyone of you.
