Best Kids Wrestler:
Logan Treaster- Not sure on weight, but has been winning majority of his matches. Young wrestler with big heart. Started coming on strong in 06. Won some big tournaments this year in 06 and I am sure wil finish strong this year.

Best Kids Female Wrestler:
Darian Gonzalez- Been watching this girl wrestle for a few years. Places top 2 consistently for the past year in open tournaments. Win or lose great attitude. KS Girls champion two years in a row(05/06). 2006 OK Girls State champion and 2 time girls national runner-up(05/06). Only lost to 2 girl wrestlers in last two years and both at nationals. Won more matches than lost in usawks open tournaments father not sure on exact record. Talked with her father to get info to vote cause was impressed with them both.

The rest of my votes were along the same lines as most of yours. Just varied with these and wanted to provide some backup because I believe these warrant it.

I had some late votes come in so I will be posting the final 4 today and pushing back the announcement until Sunday March 4, this will give me time to get all of the ballots counted, we have 12 voters so it will take a little time. Again, final 4 will be posted today as I am about done with the counting the current votes to narrow it down.

You know what is even more intriguing? That spring of 1932 instead of going 191 weight class in the NCAA Championships, Pete went into the Unlimited weight class and finished 3rd at the NCAAs only losing to Jack Riley of Northwestern who was the defending champion at that weight and would retain the title in 32 as well.
