For someone who says they are new you sure seem to know alot about these kids. It also sounds like your telling us that if Ward goes 126 they are going to bump Jammison to 132. Sounds like you might know a little more then you want us to beleive.

Someone is doing a great job posting pictures on the ISWA Facebook page.

They have to have heart.

What about longer Freestlye and Greco seasons? My son practiced all summer but when he took the mat he looked very rusty. Almost like it was his first match of the year. Just a thought.

Thanks for the info, but I was aware of that info. I am talking about TEAM INDIANA specific info, such as but not limited to, where, date, & time the boys will be catching the bus to Fargo etc... I realize the dates for camp were changed due to work conflicts for parents and I appreciate that very much. My problem is that I was told one thing in an e-mail and the same day I was shown papers another wrestler was sent in the mail and they contradict one another. As I stated I'm not trying to badmouth anyone or make things more difficult. I simply think if the information is given as soon as possible so parents can be allowed to plan a little better. I don't think anyone is trying to be judgemental here. I think they just want to be there to watch their child compete. We'll be in Fargo cheering our son on regardless! GOOD LUCK TEAM INDIANA!!

Bottom line is that times are hard and money is tight for most people, my family included. I, personally, am very excited that my son has the opportunity to go to Fargo. Who wouldn't want to be there to see their child compete at this level? My biggest complaint would have to be the planning and communication. I think if the trip was properly planned and the information was communicated in a clear and timely manner, the money wouldn't be as big an issue. My son leaves for camp on July 8th or is it the 9th? I'm still not sure because the TL e-mailed me one thing and then the papers that were sent to another wrestler says another. Understand, I'm not bashing the TL's or Coaches here at all. I appreciate every one of them for giving up their time and energy to help these boys compete on this level. As a parent, the sooner I know exact time and dates of camps, exact dates deposits and monies are due, exactly when and where buses are leaving from, approx. arrival and departure times, etc... the easier this trip would be. When my son received his packet @ State we knew we were going to Fargo. My wife started checking hotels immediately, found a great hotel that was inexpensive and close to the dome, but we couldn't book it because our son was only doing one style, we didn't know when he would be leaving for Fargo or where he was leaving from. Not having that information made it impossible to book our flights and hotel. We still don't have that information in our hands, as of today because of another miscommunication. It's also difficult because, the way I understand it as of right now, Greco Wrestlers check in camp and leave camp a day before Freestyle Wrestlers. We have 3 boys from this area going and 1 of them is a Greco wrestler. If the papers I have been shown are correct, then we are unable to share the 4 hour drive to camp for our boys, as we had previously planned, which adds more to the cost. I think everyone's concerns are legit, but maybe we need to work on the issues we can control such as the communication and I believe maybe parents should get together and help eachother think of new ways to help these boys reach this level of competition more and more. Such as raising some of the funds in advance in the name of the wrestling club to be held at such a time one of that club's wrestlers qualify for these big tourneys, carpooling to these big tourneys. We've done lots of fundraisers for this trip to Fargo and we've had some great success. We'd be happy to share these ideas with anyone who wants to know.

We recieved a call and asked if we were interested. We said yes but never recieved a packet. I dont think we could swing the money now since we just sent his money for the Fargo trip. Good luck.

Nicely is out of town until June 2nd. My son got his packet during the medal ceremony. You should double check with him and make sure he didnt get one then. Nicelys email is wbnicely@hotmail.com just incase you have the wrong one. Hope this helps you.

track wrestling

We have some cadets going.

Thanks

I hear there was a little controversy with this match and lots of boos. What happened?

You guys are amazing. Thanks for the updates

New Albany has 5 moving on. 112 Austin Jammison 4th 125 Tre Marler 4th 130 Tim Martin 1st 140 Larry Rickman 1st Heavy Taylor Hoke 2nd Had 2 boys out for personal reasons.

Marler wrestles 125 not 130 and is from New Albany not Jeff. The 130 from Jeff is Simpson.

What cable provider do you have? I have never heard of that channel.

His knee is hurt. I heard he is done for the year but you know how that goes. Once again I want to say that is just what I heard and he didnt wrestle against us.

I didnt even know that this was a seeded tournament. This will be our first time wrestling the classic so I was pleasantly surprised and happy when I seen my sons name. Lots of schools, should be a fun day of wrestling.

GO GINA

Any updates on the open spots?

I think the problem is that you also have to buy an AAU card which would probably be used only for this tournament. I do not know of any other AAU tournaments around and dont feel like spending $35 for another card. Good luck to those going, hope its a good day of wrestling.

All I can say is....nice shot. You worked it to perfection this weekend
