The Columbia City Wrestling Club would like to thank everyone that participated in our tournament! Hopefully, everyone had an enjoyable experience!

Thank you again.

a few questions for those that are, or did, wrestle middle school this year.

1) How many matches does each wrestler usually get?

2)How many tourneys do you usually attend?

3)How many kids does your school have out?

4)What grade are they first allowed to compete for middle school?

5)How do you school your dual meets?

Ours scores every kid, and we usually have more kids, so our 2nd or 3rd string kid is wrestling the same kid that already beat out #1 kid. Seems silly to me.

Any input?

1) 15-30 depending on schools we wrestled and if a varsity or JV wrestler

2) two invitationals and two conference tournaments

3) 30-40 varies year to year

4) 6th grade

5) Only the varsity matches are scored towards the team total. One thing I don't care for is, in our conference forfeits do not count towards the team score. Some schools we wrestle in conference only wrestle their best wrestlers against us to try and get the team win. Our team wrestles that weight class if we have a wrestler at that weight.

Shane,

He was not feeling good. Call me. 260-229-2207.

Congratulations Jake!! Excellent work!! And Shane you must be proud!! We missed seeing you guys last weekend!!

These mats are very nice. My only suggestion would be to get the solid sections. Do not get the sections with the 6 inch strips. They  seem to tear easily because it is only the mat material holding them together.

I do not know Taylor personally but I have always been impressed by his wrestling and his sportsmanship. I have always pointed him out to my middle school aged son who wrestles. Congratulations on winning a state title and the mental attitude award! Thank you for being a great role model to the younger wrestlers!

BIGJOESCOUT, I like your ideas. I think it needs to be two days, on Saturday, or have qualifiers, etc.  The kids education needs to come first. I am sure several wrestlers will miss school Monday. Just my thoughts. GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE WRESTLING!

Am I correct the registration is open until 11:59CST tonight? Also, the length of this tournament is the past is one reason we have not signed up yet. I have always told my kids that your education is the most important and wrestling comes second. I hope this will become a two day tournament or have regional qualifiers. Good luck to all wrestlers!!!

A reminder that Thursday is the deadline to register for the tournament.

This the registration deadline today @ 12 noon as listed on the flyer or tomorrow, 2/12?

Thank you Starsaw for the radio information. Will be listening in CC. Should be a great dual!

Does anyone know if this will be on the radio? Would like to listen to it!

Thanks for the address and directions. I hope the gym is packed!!

Can you provide the address of the High School?

Thanks

I talked to the people in parings and there were 370 wrestlers.
