There are so many good things happening on this site and in Kansas Wrestling that I had to join in!! This is my first post. I have to say that it meant so much to see a number of great things in the past couple of weeks!

1. Steve Kern 4 time All American & National Champ.
2. Beau Tillman NCWA Coach of the Year.
3. Gonzo (a Mover & Shaker for the Boosters) honoring Beau Tillman, Randy Lewis (founding booster) and Jennifer Berggren (membership director & ball of fire!) on behalf of the State.
4. Drew Welchert (Assistant Coach for K-State) driving all the way down from Omaha to man the booth to sell T-Shirts and talk up the club.
5. Supporters from the whole state buying T-Shirts to support the Club.
6. Supporters from the whole state joining the boosters to support the club.
7. Beau Tillman's wife and neice manning the K-State Wrestling Booth. Beau's wife making the first professional looking dislpay about the club to post at tournaments.
8. Teams challenging each other on this talk forum to raise more money than each other. (This is something that I never thought of at all).
9. Aaron Sweazy keeping everyone informed about the club's happenings in multiple forums.
10. Leana Grader giving the club a good deal on a booth at the State Tournament.

I really think that the fun is in really applying ourselves to the task of pursuing a National Title in the NCWA and D-1 wrestling at K-State. I never was a state champ in high school or in kids' wrestling but I sure had fun trying!

I have been a part of many amazing teams, but I don't think that I've ever really been swept up in the fun & excitement of a movement. Right now I'm getting fired up about this movement!! Keep it up!!
