Coach Mikesell

I believe I met all the top 3 place winners from Freestyle and Greco this past weekend. If somehow by chance I missed getting to you, here it the website to find all the information about the Junior Fargo Team. https://www.iswa.com/fargojuniornationals If you were in the top three and plan to attend Fargo, I encourage you to attend Central Regional at The Allen County War Memorial Coliseum located in Ft. Wayne may 19-21. This will help team Indiana and your chances as it opens spots for our roster and also gives you separation criteria. Here is the website for that information: https://usawrestlingevents.com/event/2300008502 If you plan to go, please contact me and register online ASAP, July seems like a long way off, but it'll be here before we know and getting our roster built is the first piece of the puzzle for a successful trip. If you were top three and know for sure you are not going, let us know so we can move down our list to the next available athlete. Watching our Freestyle and Greco Finals this weekend, I am extremely optimistic about the number of All-Americans we can have. Dan Mikesell Jr. Team Leader

His son Brinton was one of my high school coaches that influenced me and he was a big piece of the puzzle of why I went into coaching, while I never met Keith, I am sure his influence on his son was passed down to me. Sorry for your loss Coach Harmon, but know how many student athletes you have influenced over the years is a direct part of his legacy as well.

Aidan and Brayden were awesome, some great live action at the end. One more week, we will have Trine University Head Coach Tom Hall next week. Lets pack the room for our last RTC Mondays at Mooresville, its been a great RTC season, come learn and train to get prepped for ISWA Freestyle and Greco state!

These guys rocked it last time they were at our RTC. We had an opening and they jumped at the opportunity to come back and show some more sick technique and scrap live with our room. Last time we had 50+ when they were here, lets try to break the 60 mark tonight, our room has plenty of space. Just a few more opportunities to get better before Freestyle and Greco state. 6pm enter Door #9 and must have your USA card.

We are on for tonight with Marian Head Coach Steven Bradley. 6pm, enter door #9. Don't want to miss this week!

Monday's at Mooresville have been rockin! 56 guys/gals getting better last night, just shy of our record of 61, but we did have 8 different schools represented last night. Great technique and a great 30 min of live go's, and situational wrestling. Next Monday same time 6-8pm, enter door #9.

Enter door #9. Should be a great night to work on freestyle and greco technique and get some good live go's.

Room was bumping tonight, great numbers, great quality and fantastic clinician. Next week we will have U of I wrestlers: Brayden Lowery and Aiden Sprague If you are wanting to be on Team Indiana at Fargo, get some good training in at your local RTC and meet the coaches that will be with you on the trip.

ISWA.com has all the information for tournaments. I will have flyers to pass out tonight as well. See everyone there.

We have great clinicians scheduled for this Monday. Blake Mauer and Matt Coughlin will be at our RTC. They have long resumes as great wrestlers, and have turned themselves into even better coaches. I promise you don't want to miss this RTC opportunity. Monday March 20th, enter door #9, 6pm. RTC admission is FREE. Must have a USA wrestling card.

Don't miss the chance to see Coach Schmaltz tonight at the Mooresville RTC. Coach is going to be working on the transition to freestyle tonight.

Illinois has an extra guy at 152 and 160, so we have two extra spots for those weights. I'm looking for senior state place winners, qualifiers first and then semi-state guys. First response gets the spots.

we've had a late opening for 285 on Team indiana. First response gets the spot. Open to any senior.

We have 1 kid at 106, still looking for another senior at 106. First response gets the spot. Mikesell

We've been trying to till 14 weights for the girls with seniors. Today, Illinois has asked us to fill these 16 weights. 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195 and 250. We have commits from the following senior girls: 105: AnnaMae Mosconi 110: Emma Pillion 130: Katelyn Hernandez 135: Aulani Davis 145: Ally Zuchschwerdt 152: Melissa Barradas 250: Chrissy True Senior state place winners or qualifiers get first shot at the other weights. But at this point we will open to Juniors or Sophomores who were place winners and qualifiers. Email daniel.mikesell or Gary Myers: garymyers86@gmail.com to get a chance to be on Team Indiana.

The spots on the team are filling up quickly, but we are having a hard time finding seniors at 106. If you are a senior that wrestled 106 contact Dan Mikesell at daniel.mikesell@mooresvilleschools.org with your credentials and we will get these spots filled. Boys Team: 106 113: Jackson Heaston / Jackson Elliott 120: Ashton Jackson/ Logan Bickel 126: Evan Seng 132: Joey Butler/David Maldanado 138: Lucas Clem/Kelby Glenn 145: Brevan Thrine/Braxton Miller 152: Bryce Lowry/Tyce DuPont 160: Logan Farnell/Andre Merritt 170: Jaquan East 182: Orlando Cruz 195: Reid Schroder/Luke Hansen 220: Tommy Morrill/Alex Rose 285: Andrew Just Waiting on several to reply one way or another.

RTC's free of charge, just show up. Bring your USA card. Schoolboy and up only. ( 14U)

We will start our Regional Training Centers next Monday Feb 27 at Mooresville High School. Our clinician for the night is Brock Hudkins. Should be a packed house with great instruction and live wrestling. 6-8pm. Enter door #9. Brock is a 2x IHSAA State Champion 3x NCAA qualifier and was ranked as high as 6th at 133lbs at IU.

In some sectionals, teams compete this Monday or Tuesday. In the past those matches would've made a difference in seeding.

14 Weight Classes – 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 155, 170, 190, 235. https://www.nfhs.org/articles/separate-weight-classes-for-girls-choice-of-weight-classes-established-in-high-school-wrestling/ Here is the information from NFHS. Usually the IHSAA follows these guidelines. My educated guess is these will be the weight classes for Girls when it gets sanctioned.

our new room is not open yet for RTC, but here is a sneak preview. 120x48, three full mats.

If you missed last night, a real bummer for you. Coach Tsirtsis did not disappoint. Great technique and he's a fantastic teacher. Thanks to him and IU for making it happen. Next week 4/18 we will have Brandon James from Red Cobra April 25th we will have UIndy Staff and wrestlers May 2nd we will Have Fletcher Miller from CIA May 9th we will have Wabash College Coaching staff and wrestlers. We continue to have wrestlers from all over, 5 different counties, from 6 different teams, Mondays @ Mooresville put it on your schedule. Great line up to finish out the spring and be ready for ISWA state and central regionals. Our new room is getting close to being finished, but we will probably be in the main gym for the remaining RTC's.

RTC starts at 6pm. Enter Door 2 tonight and go to main gym. Technique session by Jason Tsirtsis followed by live session.
