I am pretty sure all of these guys will still be 8u. K.C Sparks from Ottawa, Damian Herrera Emporia these 2 are really good wrestlers,along with Salina's T.J Ragnoni, Trenton Miles Trailhands, and Brett Moon Maize.All of these kids are 67-80 lbs.

OK. While were at it...Who looks good at 10/under 76-79??????

Here is some names that are really good in the 10u 73-79 weight class. Kaleb Kontzer Linn Co., Nick Lewis Burlington, Dylan Eck Brawlers, Ben Ewing S T A, Coltone Steele Team Tigers, Willie Dieckmann Effingham, Hunter Moravac Mill Vally, and the sleeper of this weight class is Jaymez Turner from Ottawa. Even though his record was 26 and 28 he has won against some of the for mentioned kids. He is gonna be one of the front runners.

How about 8&under 70-73 my son is weighing 67 & went undefeated at 6&under 61lbs last year (in kansas) & took 2nd at district at 8&under 61lbs. He placed 6th at tulsa & 1st at brute adidas. He will be bottom side 8&under. Im just like any other dad & think he is better than he really is. I think he will do well for being a year down. His name is Isaiah Luellen.

Here are the age groups that these kids will be in next year.

Kaleb Kontzer Linn Co. 12U next year
Dylan Eck Brawlers 12U next year
T.J Ragnoni 10U next year
Brett Moon 10U next year

Returning Placers in 10U:
64
2nd Tanner Madl Paola
3rd Trevor Smith Winfield
4th Jon Pratt Baldwin
5th Clayton Weil Dodge City Wranglers
6th Reese Cokeley Paola

67
4th Dayton Will Salina

70
2nd Landon Wood Ulysses Tigers
4th Shilo Schaake Manhattan
5th Steven Marlatt Derby
6th Trenton Allen Haysville

73
3rd Ben Ewing S T A
4th Kyle Baldwin Maize
5th Blaine Wertz Wakeeney
6th Colton Steele Team Tigers

I think that all of these are right.

I believe all of the 10U 73 placers listed above will be 12U next year

kelton suchey from russell,austin golden smoky valley both boys had
good first year 8u seasons and both will be back and both should do really well this year also.

a couple at 52 or 55 will be Hunter Terril from AC, Gunner Gentzler and Adam Ayala from WWC.

and dante rodd will be up there

I wouldnt bet on Parenti being that heavy.

I think all this interest in "August" is great!!

I really hope that enthusiasm carries over until at least the end of April! USA Wrestling Folkstyle Nationals is the week after our State tourney in Iowa. Last year, we only had about 30 entrants.

Also, there is the Brute-Adidas Nationals after that!!

Do we lose steam by starting so early?

Lets remember, that USA Nationals in Iowa was plagued with some poor performance the first couple of years which I believe cost them some entries since.

That ... I do know!!

I only wish we had a facility large enough to manage such a tourney!

Are any of our D2 schools thinking about building a dome?

Xavier Pingleton will be in 8U this year! 1st season in KS, wrestled in MO last year...

Do you have a guesstimate to what weight he will be wrestling?

if I remember right, KS runs every 3 lbs... that'd put him at 61

kc sparks is 10 & u

Old topic, very very Interesting all of the above are great kids and awesome wrestlers. My son was injuried at the tail end last year, but is excited to be back and is working very hard.

BRANDON MLEKUS FROM PITTSBURG IS MY PICK FOR STATE CHAMP AT 8&UNDER 64-67. HE IS ENTERED IN THE TULSA KICK OFF AT 64.

don't count out Noah Endreshak from Salina....he seems to be pretty hungry for the season to start already this year
