The trip to Minnesota is all set and the packets have been mailed to all females with a current USAW card. I have also sent them to those girls that have already contacted me regarding the trip. The flyer is posted on our website and can be downloaded. Included in the mailer is a letter from Terry Steiner, Women's Olympic Coach and a flyer for the women's camp in Colorado Springs and the KS women's camp in Lakin, KS.

The trip to Minnesota leaves Friday morning at 5am in Wichita, KS, travels to St. Joseph, Minn for registration and weigh in from 6-7:30pm. Then to our hotel-the Fairfield Inn in St. Cloud, Minn., where we will have a pizza party, swim and go to bed. Wrestling starts at 8am and should finish by 7pm. We will grab a bite to eat and hit the road home. We should be back in Derby, KS by 8am and will wrestle in KS Girls State Tourney at 9:30am. It is sure to be a fast and furious weekend.

The cost per girl is $50, this includes transportation, room (shared with 3 other girls), 2 meals and a t-shirt, shorts, bag and beanie cap with the Kansas Krusaders Logo.

You are responsible for your entry fees and 5 meals, USAW Card-$30, snacks on the bus, and purchase of Kansas Krusaders singlet for $35. If you cannot afford a singlet you may get a loaner singlet from Coach Ed. We will take parents as chaperones on a space available basis.

If you have questions, email or call at
kansaskrusaders@yahoo.com or 316-721-5122.

Also we are looking for HS girls to form a women's Fargo team. If you are interested email or call ASAP.

Looking forward to bringing home some All Americans and State Champs.

We will be having practices in Wichita on Mon, Wed and Thurs nights at NW HS from 6-8pm and on Sunday 3/7/04 from 1-4pm. We also have practice sites in Lakin, Lawrence and Jackson County--so if you are worried about freestyle, let's get together and practice.

Thanks for your support.
