Hentzen from Maize

I thought they said tough :p

Dusty Elliot (4th last year), Brad Traina (kids state champ), and Brandon Bonewell should be pretty tough in kids division

Wes Barrett and Lukas Long will be wrestling at 130 and 135.

Big steve foster elijah madison Jordan beckman brett swoyer chris shideman all very good wrestlers should make for some good matches come state

Rusty Wickiam,got 2nd in state,and some kids from TMP,Hays that went to state.It's going to be a hard state tournament.Good luck to everybody.

jarrett edison 16/215
jordan edison 16/140

Jon Arveson I think is going to be at 16/140 also

any around the 160/175 area at 16 and under?

Cody Austin is wrestling 16-U at 160, he took 6th at state in 321A, He should be pretty tough

Jed Mamie, 16U, 175.

i'm from ulysses and might be wrestling 16u 175

The wichita classic really screwed up the seeding, they had romero cotton unranked even though he won highschool state, there were a couple other unranked highcschool kids that had brackets stacked on one side. good competition though.

I got to ref Arveson today, and before he showed up at the mat his opponent was already checked in waiting, and I walk towards him and he says to me "I don't know why I'm even out here i'm gonna get stomped" I had a good laugh at that one.

Yes, i agree they really screwed up the seeding my bracket was stacked on my side

im wrestling feterated. im nuttin special but i qualified for high school state. 16and under 185

I don't believe the Classic screwed up the seeding, the information about wrestling experience, state championships, etc wasn't sent in or they would have been seeded.

There were almost 1400 wrestlers at the Classic.

In an effort to stream line the seeding a process has been developed to ensure that the top wrestlers are placed appropriately, however that process relies on the administrative personnel from each club sending in appropriate information on their wrestlers.
If that information is not sent in, then the wreslter will be placed on the bracket accordingly.

I do not have tne exact information in front of me but I believe that the top four finishers were seeded top four in their bracket over 75% of the tournament.

SFoster (are you "big" Foster or "little" Foster - sorry, but we all cracked up when we heard the page at Classics, knowing the size of your boy!) You also have alot of high school wrestlers who just joined clubs, so their coaches may not have had an accurate picture of their abilities. My boy was seated 4th (he placed 6th at HS State), and wrestled a kid who placed 6th at 6A, who was seated 1st. My son took this as a challenge and won his bracket. Not knowing the other wrestlers I probably would have seated his bracket the same way. Only after seeing them all wrestle would I make changes in the seating.
