I want to thank the coaches and everyone else that made this possible. My son wrestled 15 matches and met a bunch of new friends. He said it was a great experience. Thanks again.

Colton Drousias- 89th among all incoming juniors and currently 3rd in the class of 2020 106lb'ers

Agree, Illinois does a lot of Greco, we mearly dabble in it. My son wrestled his first Greco match of this year yesterday at the duals. He went for freestyle but we have no one for Greco at his weight so he’s wrestling both. More mat time is always a good thing. And ill take Jesse over Fabian in folkstyle every time.

I think a few posters have put the triple crown in perspective - it serves to recognize kid's dedication to wrestling over a continuum. Mattyb hits the nail on the head for youth wrestlers and the recognition of the triple crown. Having a 7th grader, the TC has kept him interested in learning more FS & GR (which he gets nightly at Red Cobra after folkstyle is over). It was a very happy day in the house when he said to hell with baseball, I want to do more FS & GR. As for GR, it's great for kids that are bigger and don't shoot a lot of legs. Also, add in the 4th TC for a <Pound Sign>HendricksCountySmellsFunny #paintrain 7th grader who came very close to winning MS State, too..!

This is the most Greco action Indiana has seen in a long time.

Oh you right my bad, we were IHSWCA state champions, which is also a goal! Team titles don’t grow on trees, they’re pretty hard to come by. We’ll continue to work on folkstyle, which has worked well for our Brownsburg staff, but thanks for the concern Hector!

I have never had any of my teams train for Greco State. I think I went to coach at it once. I went to Fargo a few times as a wrestler. Got 3rd as a Cadet in Greco. I just went to Greco State. Never practiced it before and only did at camp leading up to Fargo. I went to Fargo for the Freestyle competition and just happened to do Greco. I don’t think competing in any kind of wrestling’s bad....however, time and resources are limited. We certainly don’t focus on Greco. My guys can still throw. Pat Day had a decent headlock. Alex White aka LaterAL. BLee nasty cement mixer. We just don’t focus on Greco.

Do people still care about Greco, not trying to ruffle any feathers but very few colleges care about Greco. That’s why ISWA triple crowns are pointless, in my opinion.

Silas won back 2 back Trips and would have likely coasted through Cadet again this year (no disrespect to other Cadet 195’s). The gameplan was to wrestle Junior 195 for better matches and preparation for a heftier Triple Crown of the National variety. But even with the USAW National Folkstyle Stop Sign on the mantle.......I figured I’d break the bad news. Silas didn’t compete over the weekend due to a slight tear in his meniscus. Surgery is needed and he’ll be out 6-8 weeks post-op. That unfortunately is going to make the OTC Training Camp and Fargo not possible for him. Discouraging......yes, very. But.....thankfully just a bump in the road. Could’ve been much worse. Prayers for a quick recovery is genuinely appreciated. In the meantime......he’ll be getting healthy, hitting the iron pile hard on his upper body......and mentally beginning to set his sights on IHPO and Super 32. Congratulations to all the Champs this weekend. Keep the momentum rolling fellas and go pound some outta towners at Cadet/Junior Duals and especially Fargo!!! The Allred’s will be with you in Spirit!

I think that the triple crown is very cool for the middle school aged kids and younger. In state, it is about the best that you can do. I believe that we have over 8,000 wrestlers here in Indiana. Only 20 some odd kids actually get this award each year. It is a really cool deal. With that said, I agree with my pistol packing buddy. Once in high school, it becomes a little less meaningful for those kids. While it remains a cool thing to win, the podium at the bank becomes the main focus (in state). Personally my own son won a triple crown this weekend. He really appreciates the ISWA and being able to win it again. With that said, his main focus (in state) is to be on top at the bank. Congrats to all that came away with the ISWA triple crowns today. I know that Contenders had 11 triple crown winners this year. Red Cobra had 3. That’s 14 for TheCounty. Sorry folks had to get that in!
