It is time to begin preparation for this year's Team Kansas Schoolboy Duals Team. Last year we took 4th in Freestyle (this is the highest placing ever by a Kansas FS/GR dual team), and 7th in Greco. Our goal is to keep the momentum going this year by duplicating our great results from 2013.

Details:

-You must have a 2000 or 2001 birthdate to be eligible.

-We will take two (2) teams this year, Team Kansas Gold and Team Kansas Silver.

-The weight classes are: 70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105, 112, 120, 128, 136, 144, 152, 160, 175, 190, 210, 265

-We are allowed to take more than one wrestler at each weight per team.

-The tournament runs June 4-8 in Indianapolis. We will have a team camp from June 1-4 at St. James High School in Lenexa. This is a resident camp, with the athletes living, and training together.

-We will have 6 coaches on the trip and numerous coaches/chaperones at the camp and on the trip.

-Wrestlers will receive 2 singlets, 2 shirts and shorts as part of their package.

-The cost for each wrestler is $275. This includes the gear mentioned above, all housing, transportation and meals from June 1 until we return the night of June 8. Please note that USAWKS subsidizes this trip and the actual costs are greater but
each wrestler is only asked to contribute $275.

-If you have any questions, please email or call me (Tom Williams)or email any of the following coaches:

Is state in Hutch the qualifier for this?

Kit- Excellent question, you beat me to the punch. The state group is trying to set objective criteria for cadets and juniors, and I am told they will use state fs/gr as their qualifier (I will let those coaches and directors announce their own criteria, just my understanding).

At the Schoolboy level, we use both objective and subjective criteria for a number of reasons.

Objective Criteria:

1. Placement at State FS/GR tournament. While not conclusive, if a wrestler does not wrestle here it makes it tough to evaluate and hence, include him on our Schoolboy team. State this year 05/03 in Hutch.

2. Head to head, as well as common opponent competition.

3. Historical folkstyle, FS/GR record.

4. Overall accomplishments.

5. Wrestle-offs at our Schoolboy Camp.

Thanks again for the post.

Here is the preliminary list of Schoolboy Dual participants.
Please note:
1. This is a preliminary list, this is not the selected team. These are the names of those wrestlers who are interested. We are working on the final list of team members. Plus, the weights are just estimates, and that decision is not final either.

2. We take two teams, so almost everyone interested last year made the trip with us. This is a great opportunity to improve a wrestlers skill level with high-level coaching and competition.

3. If I left you off the list, just email me and I will put you on the list. I am trying to get everyone who has given me an info sheet so far. I know I left a couple off, so please email me to complete the preliminary listing.

4. If you are not on the list, fill out the info sheet listed below and please email it to me. Thanks.
