http://trail.nwc.cc.wy.us/home.html 6pm Sat.Labette,Neosho and Colby will be competing.This is the qualifier for Nationals

I must have quicktime program downloaded into my computer to hear the proceedings. Quicktime is , alas, not so quick to load.... I might possibly be able to hear next year's festivities if I began downloading now... can anyone who did hear the contest tell me how the guys from the Kansas JC's did?

I think Labette took the team title over Western Wyoming 84-82. I think they qualified wrestlers in everyone but one or two weights.
