Reece Humphrey will be at Hamilton Southeastern for a Humphrey Wrestling practice tonight and Wednesday from 6:30 - 8pm. Reece just returned home after his recent placement in Ukraine to solidify his placement on the World Team. It should be an awesome couple of practices. Hope you can make it!

Any other Fall tournaments? September perhaps? We would love to take a team to something in the preseason

I am hip and with it! LOL. You have been liked, IndianaMat.com

Dave,

I coach out of Humphrey Wrestling. The cost of the team is $45.00, which will be due by July 14th.  This will cover the cost of your wrestlers entry fee and team T-Shirt.  The wrestlers can wear any singlet that they want.

We have a few spots open for our Grand River Rumble Teams. Please contact me if you know anyone who might be interested in going.  The weigh ins will be Saturday July 30th from 6 pm - 8pm. They will wrestle all day on July 31st.

Just had Cross up in the room the other day. That guy is PURE FUNK! Who gets up on their hands to defend like that?!? We have video of him showing his famous guillotine. You can watch it here: http://humphreywrestling.com/index.php/wrestling/kendall-cross-visits-humphrey-wrestling

We are really excited to be working with Terre Haute Nroth for this wrestling camp. You can register online or the day of the camp here: http://humphreywrestling.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_5&products_id=33

No doubt making the finals is no easy task. You have to wrestle to the end of every match. Best of luck to the whole team!

I know a lot of people have been asking why Reece isn't on the World Team and I just wanted to clarify.

The New Rule: If a former world team member wins an elite international tournament (Bunch won Medved) the previous year, and loses in the finals the following year at the World Team Trials, then that wrestler still has a chance to be on the world team if they medal higher at a specified tournament (Ukraine) than the wrestler they lost to in the trials.

It is my understanding for this new rule is because too many US team members were performing poorly internationally while those who did not make the team, would have done better at these international tournaments.

I can tell you that Reece, Jordin, Jim all agree with the rule even though it means Reece has to beat Bunch again. The rule is to create the best World Team possible. However, this rule also means that Reece is the first person EVER to win the World Team Trails and not be on the World Team LOL!

No doubt, Perry is the team to beat. Heck of a season!

Way to go, Kayla!

I think this documentary came out in 2008. Would love to watch the whole thing if anyone can find it!

I love the legs-power half attempt in the first post!  ;D

Great Job, Tsirtsis!

We all know that staying fit and finding others to wrestle during the summer season is difficult. We decided to have a camp right in the middle of the summer to keep Indiana wrestlers in shape and competing! As an added bonus, we are making the camp FREE if you sign up to become a Humphrey Wrestling member for the month of July. That gives you and entire month of practices twice a week, plus a 4-day training camp for only $79! The 4-day training camp alone is $49

We encourage coaches and parents to attend!

Camp information can be found here: http://humphreywrestling.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_5&products_id=36

You can pay for the camp or monthly memberships online at HumphreyWrestling.com

If you have any question, Just ask!

Anyone know how you can become listed as a Hyway Club?

Best of luck!

One thing that could help is having coaches encourage Freestyle and Greco. I know my coach practically made it mandatory if you weren't in another sport.

I think they should be within a few pounds for the wrestle off. 2 or 3 over is ok.

I'm ready to see his pic on the cover with an Olympic medal around his neck. 

Any more individual results?

What a crazy trip!

Congrats guys! I remember the cadet duals and it was a beast just to win half the matches!

When the kids use practice to cut weight is when it crosses the line. Throwing on three layers of sweats and drilling to lose weight, not get better, is when it becomes too much. I know when I was competing at the high school level - I talked to my coach, discussed what weight would be best for the team and myself, then started dieting and running about two months before the season to get my weight under control. It made that first weigh-in of the season so much easier. By the time the two lbs. allowance came into play, I was naturally that weight.

No doubt Reece is the man (I might be a little bias myself hahaha). If you get a chance, become a fan of him on Facebook to follow his pursuit of the Olympic Dream. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Reece-Humphrey/144745972261078

I know he loves coming back to Indiana and all the support he gets from his home state.
