As many of you may have read I have accepted a coaching job at Darton College in Georgia. Today is my last day in Indiana and I wanted to say thank you and good bye to all of my friends and supporters in Indiana. I have come to love Indiana as a home. I have seen the tremendous strides Indiana wrestling has made due to the hard work of the state coaches. I wish the state and it's wrestlers continued success. It was always my goal as a coach at Purdue to help the state of Indiana grow and base our recruiting out of Indiana. I will still be trying to give Indiana kids opportunities to wrestle beyond high school and further their education. I have not missed a state tournament in 11 years and hope to continue coming to one of the finest state tournaments in the nation. I wish everyone the best and hope to be back someday. Thank you to everyone! Chris Fleeger

Chris Fleeger will be running club practicing this spring/summer at Lafayette Jeff High School starting this Monday at 6 PM. Practices will be every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Anyone is welcome to come workout. We will have some great workouts. Concentrating on great technique, mental preparation, and mat strategies. This will be great preparation for next season. Anyone interested in more details please contact me at fleegerc@gmail.com. Hope to see you there.

I believe they are. Coach Glen Lanham and Fleeger, me, from Purdue well be there wrestling with the guys. Hope there is a good turnout.

I'll be there with Hinkel.

Boiler Elite RTC had a great turnout tonight. Over 50 kids. Here are a few that were there: Kyle Ayersman 112 state champ Brenden Cambell 112 3rd place Tyler Freeze 112 3rd place Michigan Brandon Nelsen 119 state champ Danny Sabatello 119 state champ Illinois Alex Gregory 2009 112 4th place Jason Tsirtsis 130 state champ Brock Norton 135 state champ Matt Rattay 135 7th place Tanner Lynde 152 5th place Braden Atwood 189 2nd place There were plenty of other state qualifiers and probably some other placers that I'm forgetting. But it was a great room. A lot of Purdue wrestlers were in there as well as coaches helping out. Got to see some Cashe/Tsirtsis action and plenty of others mixing it up. I know many of these guys plus more will be back every Wednesday.

The Purdue RTC will be cancelled on Wednesday, March 17th. Purdue will be hosting a womens NIT game on Wednesday. The RTC will continue next week as scheduled. Please spread the word.

You can come in anytime to sign up. We have all the forms there and USA cards available at practice as well. And as far as the music...well I do try to mix some Miley in as much as I can but the Christmas music stays in my car.

oops...thanks groundhog. ;D

The Boiler Elite Club high school callout is this coming Tuesday, September 8th at 6:00 PM. We will be holding practices every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00 for the September and October. This 2 month preseason is a great way to get ready for the upcoming season. There are plenty of state ranked high school wrestlers to wrestle with not to mention many state champs from the last few years and former and current Purdue wrestlers and All Americans. This is a unique chance to get to wrestle many Indiana high school legends.
