After 12 straight seasons of traveling to the Rocky Mountain Nationals, our Kansas All-Class team started a new tradition at the Heartland National Duals in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
We had won 10 titles out of 12 in Denver and we brought 13 state champions to our first Heartland event.
Team Kansas went 8-0 in duals and brought back DOUBLE TITLES in Folk and Freestyle!!! Next year, there will be 8 states invited!
I could not be prouder of this team. Thank you to coaches Clint Slyter and Ryne Cokeley for motivating, mentoring and coaching our team! Thank you to all the parents who made this happen with short notice. A huge thank you to James Cook and Dal Eck! These guys have grown this awesome event to FIFTEEN teams and over 225 wrestlers! The gear, buses, hotels, food and all the details! Wow! Did I say food? They cooked countless burgers and provided for our wrestlers the entire stay. Amazing work.
All 20 of our high school wrestlers contributed to our titles! We went 94-18 in matches!
