Bornbad, the 119/125 weight classes are actually the toughest weightclasses top to bottom this year with incredible talent. I dont know if you keep up with wrestling outside of Kansas or not, but go look at some of the national rankings for those weight classes and you will see. I would be willing to bet that 119/125 are probably 2 of the top 5 hardest weightclasses this year.

Mamasawn, I can assure you that that is not Tanner on here talking himself up, He is much to classy for that, I believe it is his brother!

Lebowski, I think Tanner is a stud and was not trying to downgrade his accomplishments, but you cannot honestly think that 119lbs. is as tough as 130lbs. on the High School National level.

And yes, to answer your question I keep very close track of what goes on at the National Level!

DO I think Gilliand is going for his third state championship in a row. YES

Bornbad, I am Tanners brother and I really dont think I have talked him up at all. I just said he was at a pretty tough weight class nationally. To get back into 119/125 vs the rest of the classes. 130 is pretty darn tough with Friskhorn, Zupancic, Bridge etc... I would say that is one of the toughest right now. But look at 119 with Kephart, Dogget, Mueller, Preston, Donahoe. Not to shabby either. I think they are both 2 of the toughest weight classes in the nation this year along with 152 and 189.

I said that Gardner was solid, but i think he gets a little too much hype. I have seen much better wrestlers than him come out of the state that get talked about half as much as he does.
