There was a very good crowd which was primarily Baker University students and also I believe included a Kids Club wrestling team from Louisburg, Kansas and I was really impressed by that. It was exciting to see so much new college wrestling interest in Kansas. There has been a lot recently in Baldwin with the Kansas Cup, the dual with Okla City University last week and last night Baker's new rival Bethany.
It was great to see these two relatively new Kansas college wrestling teams Baker 3rd year and Bethany 1st year battle in their first dual. Jimmy May has in a short time built Baker into a top NAIA team, currently ranked 7th nationally in NAIA. Bethany under the leadership of Coach Marrs and Garcia battled hard and look especially good in their winning matches of Colby Crank, Courtney Strauss, and Colt Rogers. Matt Atwood had a very good match in his overtime loss to Jarid Price. They are building a strong foundation in Bethany too. The Kansas wrestling community can be proud of both programs.
