Hi everyone. The classic is very important to us at Goddard Wrestling Club. It brings good competition to our area. There are around 13 different states and approx 1500 wrestlers show up each year. The tournament was started from Goddard Wrestling Club, headed by Rob Brewster and Ray Kramer. Yes the classic is sponsored by Goddard. I bet most of you didn't know that. Let me start answering some of the questions you have. The tournament is the largest one day tournament in Kansas. We run anywhere from 16 to 18 full size mats. Currently the only spaces that can accommodate the this size tournament is the good ol' barn or century II expo hall. The colliseum cannot accommodate that number of mats and keep this a one day tournament. The home and garden show is held at Century II and expo hall during the same weekend as the Classic. Everyone involved in the Classic would love to find a better facility. We are currently discussing using the Koch Arena facility at WSU. And because of our parntnership with the Wichita Sports Commission, hopefully the future site will be in the downtown arena. Plus, I think the smell makes the kids wrestle better (lol). Hopefully, the smell won't keep you away. Hope to see you there!
