I would like to applaude the efforts all of the Kentucky wrestlers who have been working hard & training in the off-season.

4 Kentucky wrestlers (John Fahy, Sean Fausz, Garth Yenter, and Kevin Cooper) will be competing at the Asics/Vaughn Cadet & Junior Nationals, which begins next week in Fargo, North Dakota. I will be up there as well.

Let's wish our athletes the best of luck & hope that Kentucky can bring home medals in both Freestyle and Greco back the the Bluegrass.

Can someone confirm that Cooper placed 6th?

Yes, big 5th place finish. Awesome week for these guys. Fahy was injured training for Fargo. Fausz competed well. Yenter was on a roll when he got dropped on his head yesterday.

How many All-Americans (Cadet and Junior, Freestyle and Greco) does Kentucky have? I was wondering that while watching Cooper's match

Fahy was injuried at the WV camp preparing to leave the next day. Injuried his ribs.
