Attention Coaches, Athletes, and Parents! I am putting my summer camps/calendar together. Last year my summer camp season was a huge success. I did camps in Marysville, Beloit, Santa Fe Trail, Colby, and Lindsborg. If you would like a camp in your area this year, please contact me by phone or email and we can talk dates and times. I stress solid positioning and high percentage technique. I am done with school after May 14th to do folkstyle,and freestyle and Greco-roman wrestling camps and clinics. I have learned a lot of new things from coach Gable and Brands. They were definitely good for me technically and mentally. I would like to go more hours this year with more live wrestling. My camps feature myself and an accomplished assistant. For the basic 3 day camp, the price is the same as last year ($80 per kid and free shirt), even though I have added to my credentials. I just want to teach and train more kids. I would like to be guaranteed 30 kids (or find a way to get that amount). To put more incentive to get numbers, after 30 kids I am going to give $30 back to your club or high school wrestling fund. As for me, I am going to keep training for national and world freestyle honors in Iowa City for the Hawk Club. My All-American Solid Foundation wrestling camps are very good for a fair price and I come to you! My calendar is filling up fast, anything can be changed as far as hours, what days/number of days, sessions, etc. Contact me as soon as possible. My number is 785-443-3001 and my email is ericlued@hotmail.com. Thanks, Eric Luedke

This last year I had my best collegiate season yet. As a Senior, I was ranked 2nd in the nation by all major polls a majority of the year. I won the Spartan open and prestigious Midlands tournaments and compiled a 37-4 record while on my way to a 3rd place performance at the Division I national tournament in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Hopefully, you were able to catch some of my matches on ESPN U and ESPN 2. Thanks for your support! Sincerely, Eric Luedke

Emporia will be hosting an Eric Luedke Camp this summer in July. You can go to http://www.usd253.org/~ehswrest/wrestle.htm to download a flyer and registration. I hope to see many wrestlers in Emporia for this camp.

Great job this year. I wish you could have started your career at Iowa. You definitely are a Brands/Gable type wrestler. I teach the high % style(something I was too stubborn to do in my day).
