Our tentative plan is to meet, like years past, in Topeka between 9-10am Friday April 13th and pass out gear, get bus and room assignments, etc. We will group up in buses and leave Topeka in plenty of time – approx 12 noon - to get checked in to our hotel before weigh in. Weigh in starts at 5pm and I want us all there early so we can be one of the first teams to weigh in.

I understand it is not convenient for everyone to meet at that location. I have no problem with you and your wrestler meeting us in Council Bluffs. If that is the case, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. For those of you not meeting in Topeka, I will get your gear to you at the hotel in Iowa.

I will also need to know if any wrestler IS NOT staying with the team in the team rooms. I will be making a rooming list to turn in to the hotel before April 7th. If your wrestler has a room mate preference, I’ll do my best to get them together. There will be 4 wrestlers per room.

I will need volunteers to coach the teams. You must have a USA and bronze card to be considered as a coach. I also need volunteers to ride the 2 buses from Topeka to Iowa as well as volunteers to help make the sandwiches, etc on Saturday and Sunday. We will again have a hamburger feed for all the wrestlers Saturday night and I will also need a little help with that.

The teams will be staying at the same hotel as last year – Best Western Plus, 2610 Abbott Plaza. There is a block of rooms for the parents at the Best Western Plus 402-505-4900 and Candlewood Suites 402-342-2500. Ask for the Kansas Wrestling 2018 Parents Block when making reservations.
