First off, I would like to apologize to all the wrestling clubs, wrestlers, parents, families and friends, for such a long day of wrestling!

We ended up with 150 kids more that what we were originally planning on.
I hope that the long day won't make anyone change their minds about coming back next year.

It was a learning experience for all of us and in spite of the very long day, everything ran smoothly and everyone was very cordial and friendly and the wrestling competition was GREAT! There are alot of excellent wrestlers out there and we saw some very good competition during the day!

Second: A BIG, BIG THANK YOU, to all that helped out with the tournament. For those of you who are not part of the Atchison club, it was above and beyond the call of duty for all that you did to help us out! It is very much appreciated!

For those of you in the Atchison Club, again, a BIG, BIG THANK YOU for a job well done. As stated before, it was a learning experience and a very long day, twice as long for us as it was for those who came to wrestle, since we had two tournaments to run, Saturday and Sunday!

Tournament results will be posted in the next day or two. As for the team trophy,
1st: Lansing Slammers
2nd: Savannah
3rd: Atchison

Congratulations Slammers on a job well done!

Thanks again to all who came, and we hope to see you back next year!
