Well how do I change that? Always looking to improve.

bump

American folkstyle. My apologies. This is just for class too

I wrestled 5 years ago and now am finishing up school at Indiana University. One of my classes made us create a petition about something we care for and want changed. My idea was to change the style they wrestling in the Olympics from freestyle and greco wrestling to freestyle. I do not plan to create a movement to actually get this done, but if you believe in this then please sign it. We get extra credit if we reach 100 signatures so please spread the word and help a me out! Thanks, Robert Melby http://www.change.org/petitions/international-olympic-committee-change-the-form-of-wrestling-in-the-olympics-and-international-competitions-from-freestyle-and-greco-to-folkstyle-wrestling

He needs to focus on recruiting some of the Indiana boys. From memory he has 2 state champs on his team from Indiana one being his own flesh and blood. Others are quality wrestlers but if we cant recruit in our own state we will never compete. All the multi-state champs go elsewhere. Tshirts and Shresbury-Northwestern Cody Phillips- Minnesota Jared Brooks- Indiana tech(Would have been easy to get him if Justin was on the team) Devon Jackson, Ayersman, Welch Brothers,Eppert- Purdue

I refer to this as redshirting your freshman year

Jacob Cook lost in the ticket round all 4 years from Seeger

Reminded me of the Ayersman Campbell match of last year. Campbell got us early but wasnt able to close. My fav matches of each year

Ill never forget my freshman year at Merrillville when Dexter Larimore pinned almost everyone he wrestled in a tilt. At least most of the matches I remembered.... all of us know that tilt is not something you get pins out of but Dexter was so much stronger and greater that he was able too. Also the fact that I do not think he warmed up once for a match. He would sit down and pretend to stretch out his legs than go out get a first period pin. They do not build heavys like that anymore...

I dont think you need to be jacked to be a great wrestler. Technique is key, but you need to have enough strength to execute and not get over powered yourself.... Some other things you can do as someone said before is to do push-ups when you wake up and go to bed. Instead of doing 20 do as many as you can and keep a chart. Its nice to see your progression to keep you motivated. Another thing we did was plate work outs... grab a 25/35/45 pound weight and do different exercises with them.

I would have put 1. Wrestling (BIASED) 2. Rugby 3. MMA 4. Gymnastics 5. Swimming

Lentz a couple years ago was JV then was in the state finals the next year if memory was correct...

New Castle ppl can talk about it now!!!

Reread what i wrote, I said those are the guys that are running up. I also stated that James doesnt have Legit chance to win.

Also out of the 14 weight classes I think New Castle will have the most runner-ups as well New CAstle 113 James 126 Phillips 132 Mckinley 160 Johnson 182 Schaeffer HWT Bernard All with the exception of James and most likely Mckinley (cant count out a returning champ thou) have a legit chance to win....

Yeah at first i left Lynde out some how just over looked him some how.... Fixed now... BTW those wernt my pics just those who I thought were the favorites to win.... I like picking upsets!!!!

I know im going to get bashed for this, but my uncle was a head football coach for Gavit and Lake Central..... He said the best thing for his big football players was to play basketball. Best way to get your foot speed up, and lateral movement. He wrestled too

I had to write a Ode poem for my creative writing class and decided to make it to a wrestler. We were told that are poem had to praise something that normally doesnt get praised.... What better than to a wrestler.... So I thought I would share it with the wrestling community. Friday evening, bright illumination on fresh cut grass, The whole town flocks like screaming seagulls to see the big game. The boy stands and shouts, ?Another touchdown!? He leaves third quarter. He enters the musty room, puts down his bag, Laces his red Reebok's, steps on the mat; and gets to work. Dancing side to side like a gazelle, music, his coach, his comrade, his encourager. He envisions a crowd that isn?t there. He envisions screaming fans but does not here his name. He envisions contenders winning, coaches yelling. None of this deters him. He envisions Rocky, the Survivor, defeating his adversary He envisions hearts crushed, dreams realized, prayers answered; he knows what must be done. Saturday, early rise with sleepy eyes, cold water awakens him like a wave crashing it's shore. A pound over weight, he sprints to the bus with the flavor of cotton mouth. Is today the day? Arrives at the meet, sees his opponent, best in the state. Did he do enough? On the mat all alone, realizing his dream. Tweet! Whistle blows.

Steele is from westfield not fishers at 132.... Also i think hes a sophmore

#1 guy in the nation signs to indiana tech??? http://www.intermatwrestle.com/rankings/high_school/113 Really thought he would go to IU and follow his brother

Coach Peck is not just coaching star wrestlers like Mullins and Campbell. He has many other wrestlers in the room. It is true that it would be better for Mullins and Campbell to wrestle in the big individual tournaments around the state. These tournament does not help the team as much. For example.... New Castle Wrestles in the Lafayette Tourney during the holidays and they get 9 matches. All there wrestlers get 9 matches, not just there studs. This improves all there wrestlers on there team. Say if they wrestle in either the Connersville or the Al Smith tourney, only the best wrestlers will get a lot of matches.

both Welch Brothers

103- Boston-5.50 112- todd 4.00 119-Moss 2.00 125- kieffer 3.00 130- House 1.00 135- Fuqua 2.00 140 Tsirtsis- 5.50 145- Whetstine 1.00 152- Mullins 2.00 160- Willis- 3.00 171- Smith 2.00 189- Boots- 2.00 215- Gallegos 2.00 HWT- Melby- 3.00

i think you gotta include indian creek in there because they have 3 guys that could win state, plus a HWT that could place
