Chase Nelson is a 2009 graduate of Wichita Height HS, and has wrestled at Labette Community College and most recently the University of Oklahoma.

Zach Anderson is a 2011 graduate of Clay Center Community HS and wrestled last year at Labette Community College.

Chase Nelson and Zach Anderson, Good luck next year with your academics and wrestling at the University of Nebraska-Kearney.

Guys, i have some questionable news. As some of you know i was battling a torn labrum for my junior and senior year, which caused me to fall short of the results i had wanted in my high school career. I underwent surgery in march, and am currently rehabbing. Here comes the sucky part. I was told by my doctor that i wouldn't be ready to even start training until november. That obviously crunches my hopes for the coming year at labette. However, my plans are to take a couple classes online, train, lift, work, and possibly wrestle at some opens during the college season. I do plan on hitting it hard for the 2013-2014 season. Congrtulations to all of the other college bound senior this year. I wish you all the best of luck next year. Especially Bo lol.

Nick Pursel

Nick, Thank you for the update. I will change you to indicate that you are planning to wrestle as an Open Wrestler on the list for next year.

_________________________

This announcement does not pertain to any Kansas wrestlers from the class of 2012 or even a Kansas wrestler who is from a prior class that is transferring to wrestle at a new school this year. This is announcement is about a former Kansas high school wrestler who has just finished his career. I am including here on this topic because I want current high school students and Class of 2012 students to read an account of a college wrestler who excelled thru out his entire college career both on the mat and more importantly in the classroom.

Please read about Joey Hambleton and see what great things he accomplished both as a wrestler and a student. This young man had a 3.8 GPA as a Physics major. Wow!!! And he did it and still managed to accomplish a great deal as a college wrestler.

I hope for the same for all of you young wrestlers on this list from the Class of 2012 who are going to wrestle in college next year or are pursuing other sports in college.

Very Well Done, Joey Hambleton. The best of luck on your future endeavors.

I have previously listed Nick Bauerly but below is some good updated record information on his high school career.



Congratulations Nick Bauerly and good luck next year with your wrestling and academics at Morningside College.

Tanner Gardner of Clearwater High School will be wrestling next year at Bethany College.

Here is a very good record of Tanner Gardner's wrestling career:

Played football all 4 years, baseball 1 year, and wrestled all 4 years.
He started wrestling when he was 7 and wrestled for Clearwater and Goddard wrestling clubs.
Freshman year he weighed 180 and wrestled JV the first part of the year. Our HWT kid broke his hand, so the last 3-4 weeks and for regionals, Tanner bumped up to help the team out and went 2-2 at regionals. Freshman record was 21-14. Placed 3rd at Brute Nationals.
Sophomore year he weighed 171 but wrestled 189 since we had a senior at 171. He received 1st team all league at 189 (undefeated in dual meets). Sophomore record was 30-13. Took 1st at Brute Nationals.
Junior year he wrestled 171 and again rcv’d 1st team all league at 171 (undefeated in dual meets). He qualified for state, but DNP. He also broke the single season pin record for Clearwater with 32 pins. Junior record was 37-11. He lost in OT in the finals at Brute to take 2nd.
Senior year he wrestled 170, but coach bumped him to 181 for all but 1 dual. He rcv’d 1st team all league at 181 (had only 1 dual loss in his high school career - to Levi Eck at 170). He was ranked #2 all year, and went into the state tournament with only 3 losses (2 of them to Eck #1 ranked). Had a bad weekend at state and ended up with 6th. He holds the school career fall record with 95 pins and hit the school record book for 5-6 other categories. Senior record was 35-6. Did not compete at Brute this year due to a broken nose the week prior to the competition.
High school career record was 123-44
Between Junior and Senior year he competed for Down Under Sports and traveled to Australia to wrestle against Australia and New Zealand. He said that was one of the highlights of his life so far, and a fitting reward of what wrestling can do for you with hard work and dedication.
He had about 15 schools interested and had actual scholarship offers from about 9-10, (NE, ND, MN, IA, MO, RI, IL, WI, OK, but he finally decided to stay closer to home and decided on Bethany. He thinks the combination of coach, school size and distance from home were a good fit for him to go to Bethany. He also likes the idea of being on the ground floor of a new program and of course the opportunity to help grow Kansas wrestling.
I’m obviously very proud of the man he has grown to be and all of his accomplishments along the way. It was a fun ride being by his side as we traveled the country to different tournaments. He has put in many hours (like every other dedicated wrestler) to earn the opportunity to take it to the next level. I’m confident he will continue to excel not only on the mat, in the classroom but life in general. He graduated with a 3.24 GPA, and his goal at this point is to study Education (History) and eventually teach high school and coach.

I received that information from Tanner's dad who is very proud of his son and his high school accomplishments. I always like seeing how the families of our Kansas wrestling community are very proud of their sons and daughters and of their accomplishments. I love to get stories like this because I get the opportunity to share in the pride and excitement that I know you all have for your children. I am the same way and it brings back great memories for me. Tanner Gardner's story especially brings backs memories for me because my own son started wrestling at 7 and my son was about the same size as Tanner and also had to wrestle heavyweight early in his career to win a starting spot on his team. So Mr. Gardner I really appreciate you taking the time to share Tanner youth and high school career with all of us.

Tanner Gardner, Congratulations on your high school academic and wrestling career. Good luck next year with your academics and wrestling at Bethany College.

Jake Gentzler has transfered to Nebraska Kearney.

I have decided that this is going to be the final year for me doing this list. This was my fourth year of maintaining this list. My son graduated in 2009 and very year it seems I am less involved with high school wrestling. I have decided that this is the best time for me to let someone else carry this list on.

I have enjoyed doing it. I have received a lot of help from the Kansas wrestling community (wrestlers, their family members, high school & college coaches, and other individuals from the Kansas wrestling community). I want to thank all of you for assisting.

I hope that someone else from our Kansas wrestling community will decide to maintain this list and I hope they will find it as rewarding as I did the past four years.

Thank you,

Vince
