Great Job Kansas! - they just won over New Jersey I think the final score was 40-36. Kansas took 7th.

Down by 15 points, 29-14 New Jersey. W parent, you killed the trackwrestling buzz. Good news though...

Well....

Trackwrestling has it's flaws. They showed Kansas losing to New Jersey on the dual score AND the bracket. They JUST CHANGED the scores to show A WIN by Kansas! What a critical win by Nick Dikin! That NJ kid was 7-1 on the day. We would have lost the tiebreaker if Dikin loses that one. Chalk one up for Emporia!
