Just a heads up... Chase Nelson, Former Wichita Heights Wrestler (2009) and Labette Community College National Champion has committed to the University of Oklahoma where he will join Former Teamate Kendric Maple ((2009)... Nice to see two Former Falcons wind up in the same place for 4 more years!
Congratulations Chase Nelson: I am very proud of you!
Besides his
National Junior College Championship this year for
Labette Community College, Chase was also first at the inaugural Kansas Cup this year and I believe he was twice a State Champion for
Wichita Heights High School. This young man definitely has D-1 All American potential. That
University of Oklahoma team is beginning to look like a Kansas High School All Star team!
Congratulations,
Chase Nelson, good luck to you in your academics and wrestling at the
University of Oklahoma next year. I am updating the below list for this information.
Congratulations and good luck to all of you in your academics, wrestling and other pursuits in college next year. I know your coaches, parents, families, friends and teammates are all proud of your accomplishments.

Please let me know if any of the above information is incorrect and needs to be changed or if any additions or deletions need to be made to the above list. On additions it helps if I receive a confirmation by posting or private message from the wrestler, a parent, high school coach or college coach. Also it helps if I can get any accomplishments like state championships, state placing or qualifying, league titles so I can make special mention of that in the announcement with the listing. A link to a newspaper article of the signing is also a good confirmation source. Thank you.
