It looks to be a tighter race between multiple teams than we've had in a long time

Very punny

The spectators

Yes it was Perry. Mike Krause is there every year as well and does a phenomenal job with youth

They are spectacular. Last summer at the camp at Loras College in Iowa we had Jordan Burroughs, Tom Brands, and Jake Varner, as well as an assistant from illinois whose name is escaping me. There are tons of schools from all over the country. The team tournament is competitive. The team Olympics can really bring your guys together. There are generally some d3 coaches helping out and doing some scouting as well. I honestly don't know enough adjectives to describe how great our experience was the last 3 summers at ISI Also they show solid techniques. Not just flashy "camp moves"

When I wrestled I was very much a proponent of our current one class system. As I enter into the world of coaching, my views have softened a bit. I really do like the idea of the prestige that comes with being the individual champion in a single class system. That being said, I don't think any Champs would complain that they were "only" small school state champs. It may not be a perfect analogy, but consider Iowa football this year. They went undefeated in the B1G west and won their division, then took Michigan State to the wire in the conference championship game. Iowas division of their conference was considered to be weaker, but do those players feel any less accomplished for winning it? I doubt it. The single class system isn't perfect, and a class system wouldn't be either. But if our goal as coaches is to bring attention to our wrestlers and use success to build numbers, I think 2 classes would be the way to go

I think it would do the opposite. Too long of a trip for everyone else -
top 3 at 132...wow. meat grinder
-
Their state championship trophy would disagree
-
Just because they were the best in the state in recent years doesn't mean they still are. Graduations happen. Other programs get better.

Thanks maligned.

What's the highest an unseeded team has finished at this event? And have there ever been any teams with higher numbered seeds that have placed much higher than expected?
-
What's wrong with haVing 12? More good competition won't hurt anyone. Even the unseeded teams are pretty darn good
-
I love the articles highlighting guys from all over the state. Keep it up
-
I completely understand not wanting us to travel more than 300 miles. But not allowing us to wrestle teams that travel from future away makes 0 sense. I suppose it's so two football/basketball teams don't drive halfway cross the country for an event at a neutral site
-
It made them uncomfortable and eager to get us to weigh in and away from them
-
My senior year, before the suitable undergarment rule was around, our 103 and 112 pounders would always strip naked, walk up to the refs (their junk coming dangerously close to the officials) and ask if we could weigh in first. At some tournaments, we got to weigh in before the home team. At the mater dei holiday classic, we weighed last

If we have already entered team results, is there a way to edit our entry to include individual results from a dual? -
I don't think the 5/6 placers would be able to bump anyone the made it to the semis out. It would just give the ticket round loses a chance to wrestle up to 5th
-
I could definitely get behind this. I hate seeing tough ticket round matches where both kids obviously are state caliber but only one can make it. And just like some 4th placers from regional make it to state, some 5th or 6th placers will find the podium every year
