Thank you for complimenting KT Mr. Spires, and it is an honor for KT to be mentioned in the same conversation with the likes of Seltzer, Moran, Mendez, and Lowery.
Under the direction of Coach Red, Coach Snyder, and Coach Ayersman, I hope we will see lots of growth from KT over the next 4 years.
I finally see the spark in him that I havent seen since he broke his arm and had to have surgery a few years ago. It has been a long and patient recovery, but he has never given up his competitive spirit.
Insight on my thoughts about his weight, but who knows?:
I didnt compete in high school because I went to a small christian high school that didnt have a wrestling team, and my parents did not support wrestling. But in the 80's, under Coach James Shannon, I was an off season training partner for Matt Stevens and Robby Deters. In fact, the only 2 medals that I earned, 1 gold and 1 silver, I have because Coach Deters' Dad picked me up and took me to the tournaments, and he also paid for those trips and registration because my parents refused to support my dream. I still have these medals and cherish the memories. Those were some very memorable times that I cherish forever. My heart is forever grateful to the Deters Family for giving me that.
Although I didnt compete, I was a wrestler, and therefore, I remember my weight as follows:
I weighed 105 pounds when I was 14 years old. I weighed 135 pounds when I was 18 years old. 150 at 21.
I had the same build that KT has, only he is much more handsome than me.
