Please, let me know if I have someone listed incorrectly or if someone needs to be added to this consolidated list.

What a great Kansas high school wrestler to start our Class of 2011 College Bound Senior List with!!!!

Taylor Moeder of St. James Academy has committed to wrestle at Old Dominion University. Taylor Moeder has an outstanding record during his high school career. It is one of the best overall records in Kansas high school wrestling history. I am no doubt going to leave something off of his record and please add to it if you can see that I failed to mentioned something.

Taylor Moeder started his high school career at Colby High School and placed 3rd in 4A as a 103 freshman in 2008. Taylor transferred to St. James Academy in Lenexa, Kansas and won his first 4A state championship in 2009 at 112. Taylor followed that up last year with his second 4A state championship in 2010 at 130. Taylor finished the season ranked No. 1 All Class in Chief Renegades Final 2010 All Class ranking. Chief Renegade also ranked Taylor Moeder in his final Fab Five 2010 list of his top five overall wrestlers in Kansas.

To top all that off Taylor Moeder had an incredible summer wrestling season. Taylor placed fourth at 135 in freestyle at the Fargo National championships. Taylor Moeder is the 2010 Greco Roman 135 National Champion.

Tremendous high school career! Congratulations to Taylor Moeder and his family. Best of luck to you on your senior year in high school and we wish you the best in your academics and wrestling at Old Dominion University when you start there next year in the Fall of 2011.

If anyone else would like to take on the maintenance of this list this year on this topic, please let me know. I will do it if no one else wants to do it because I do know a lot of the wrestlers, coaches and their parents seem to have liked it the last two years that I have compiled it. My son is now in his sophomore year in college and I am not following the high school wrestling as much as I did a couple of years ago so another interested person might be better suited to maintain the list this year. Let me know if anyone is interested. It has been very worthwhile for me over the last two years doing this. I have had some very good communication mostly via e-mail with wrestlers, their parents, high school coaches and future college coaches in the process of compiling the list. I have received a lot of cooperation from them. I think if someone else decided to compile the list going forward that they would also enjoy the experience.

Either I or someone else will start up again with this list soon.

I have decided to maintain this list again this year. I have been in communication with an individual who is interested in potentially taking it over next year when his son starts high school.

I have several to add to the list already. I have looked up the recruiting list from Intermat and their are several Kansas names on the list. I plan to add them one a day because I want to take some time to research their accomplishments and if possible to give each one a day to be featured on this topic.

Today I am adding Jake Gentzler, a wrestler who has had an outstanding high school wrestling career. I am not sure what Jake's final career numbers are but he finished 36-1 this year and currently NO. 1 ranked in Chief Renegade's All Class rankings at 125. Jake is a four time State Finalist and a 3 time State Champion including this year at 5A 125. Jake wrestled for Andover Central HS and has made a verbal committment to wrestle next year at Arizona State University. We wish Jake the best of luck next year in his wrestling and academics at Arizona State University.

I am starting to receive more college confirmations on 2011 seniors. I will be entering more over the next several days. I need to spread the announcements out a little for myself and also I think it helps to feature each wrestler better.

The next wrestler that I want to feature is Dylan Penka of Kapuan Mt. Carmel HS. Dylan was the 5A 171 State Champion this year with a 38-1 record and shares the Chief Renegade current #2 All Class Ranking with Taylor Baird of Pratt HS. I am currently researching more information on Dylan's accomplishments from his 2008, 2009 and 2010 and will include that as soon as I get that information. Dylan Penka will be wrestling next year at South Dakota State Universtiy.

Dylan Penka, congratulations and good luck next year with your wrestling and academics at South Dakota State University.
