Again two very good students and wrestlers. It is very impressive to see so many of you excelling both in the classroom as well as on the mat this year.

Taylor Krier and Devon Webber, Congratulations on your high school academic and wrestling accomplishments. Good luck next year with your academics and wrestling at Wichita State University.

4 of those losses were injury defaults because of my shoulder by the way. i dislocated my shoulder in the semis at state so that sixth place really feels like a kick in the pants . i got surgery about two weeks after. i am currently recovering. all the more reason to become a juco national champ at Labette.

Javier first qualified for 5A State as a freshman in 2009. The next three years he placed 2nd at 5A State including this year when he was State runner up at 5A 113.

There is another topic on Javier's decision to go to Augustana College and his high school wrestling and academic accomplishments. In that topic it was pointed out that Javier has been voted Class President by his classmates, he is a member of the National Honor Society, and also earned 1st Team 5A All Academic Team honors. He has demonstrated leadership, athletic and academic excellence in his high school career.

Javier Vieyra, Congratulations on all your high school accomplishments. Best of luck next year with your academics and wrestling at Augustana College.

My Step-Son Tyler Kimple from Goddard has signed a letter of intent to Wrestle at Northwest Technical College in Goodland Kansas, for Coach Paul Gomez Jr.

Tyler has been a part of the winning program at Goddard, where he was part of a State Championship Team and placed 5th at 145lbs as a Jr. and was State Runner-up this year at 160lbs. Tyler was a member of Team Kansas and wrestled well at Virginia Beach where he went 2-2.

His mom and I are proud of his accomplishments and look forward to watching him wrestle at the college level.

Great information on Matt Reed and Tyler Kimple. I will plan to update the list for both wrestlers tonight.

I am going to update for Tyler Kimple now and Matt Reed later tonight.



Tyler Kimple, Congratulations on your high school wrestling career. Good luck next year with your wrestling and academics at Northwest Technical College.
