We had another great day at the Midwest Nationals last weekend, with 34 Warriors making the trip. The tournament was tougher than ever, with over 1,100 wrestlers from 19 states competing this year, but our boys represented Kentucky well. We ended up winning the 9th & 10th grade division and second in the 7th & 8th grade division, with three champions and 9 third place winners. Most of our wrestlers won at least once, and many of them scored bonus points. Our top finishers were:
5th & 6th grade:
Champion - Nathaniel Lawrence, 121#
3rd - Gabe Jacobs
7th & 8th grade:
Champion - Zane Brown, 129#
3rd - Sam Jenkins
Jakob McClintic
Tristan Sellmer
Nate Wheeler
9th & 10th grade:
Champion - Connor Cambron, 125#
2nd - Donavon Smith
3rd - Elijah Allgeier
Mike Klein
11th & 12th grade:
3rd - Kohl Dodd

Coach Wheeler & I are really proud of our guys for all of the hard work they put in this summer and their excellent performance in Illinois. Thanks also to all of the other coaches who helped get them ready.
