Special congrats to Danville native, Rhodes Bell for capping of his career with a runner-up finish at the NAIA Nationals. I am so proud of you!

Any current seniors wishing to go to college should have already submitted their FAFSA for 2017-18 school year. If you've not done so yet, you need to do this immediately so that you qualify for in-state grants. These grants are going to run out very soon, and it is strictly based on a first come/first serve basis. Just by filing your FAFSA in time means you may qualify for a lot of free money. The cutoff deadline could be tomorrow or it could be in two weeks. It all depends on when the state reaches it's quota of FAFSA applicants.

If you are interested in purchasing anything from Lindsey Wilson's team shop, you have until Monday at 5 pm EST to do so. Wrestling Addix does great work for us, and we are very happy they provide our fanbase with the online sale so that you may get your hands on some of our gear. http://www.wrestlingaddixstore.com/Team-Sites-For-Online-Ordering/Lindsey-Wilson-College-c230/

Rooms are very nice, with 4 single beds in each. I'll match them up by age. Have their own bathrooms, free wi-fi, cable. Campers will need enough gear for 8 practices. Towels, toiletries, swim trunks, blanket, pillow, and wrestling shoes. They will have plenty of free time to watch TV/play video games, so they are encouraged to bring a TV and/or game system. They will check out with returning room key by 4pm Friday. And they will work hard and have a lot of fun.

We will not turn away anyone interested in attending. If you are not preregistered, don't worry about it but please send an email ASAP letting me know if you're coming ruffc@lindsey.edu.

http://www.lindseyathletics.com/article/6579.php Our program is very proud of the fact that 3 of our 8 NAIA All-Americans are home grown. Keaton Thomas finished 3rd, Jake Maupin 6th, and Isaac Thomas 7th. We also had 2 Academic All-Americans this season and both are KY natives as well; Felix Casa del Valle and Lofton Wright.

Congratulations to Nathan Boston, Brock Ervin, and Sean Fausz for earning their way onto this prestigious poster. This may be the first time the state of Kentucky has had three representatives appear on this annual honor. Two other outstanding talents that made the poster will be bringing their skills to Kentucky this fall. Michael Pixley and James Flint will be wrestling for Lindsey Wilson. Congratulations to all https://www.wrestlingusa.com/wusasite2index/Home_files/2014%20Wrestling%20USA%20Scholastic%20All%20American%20Teams.pdf

Disney Duals is definitely a premier summer event. We would love to be involved with organizing/training/coaching Team KY.

We did not accomplish our team goal, but a couple more national championship charts hanging in our room will ease the pain and provide more motivation for the future. Thanks to those of you who followed and supported us throughout the season. We will try to get to the top of the team standings again next season (I'm already busy trying to do that today). There is no off-season!

Here are the brackets: http://www.naia.org/pdf9/2654804.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=27900

Brackets should be out Wednesday. We do not seed the national tournament, but we are working on accomplishing that for next seasons national tournament. Coaches know the matrix, and have 16-man brackets where the top 4 from each regional are separated. We are waiting for the at large qualifiers (50 total) to be drawn in. Cozart left Iowa State after his redshirt freshman season planning to take a year off while searching for a smaller school that was closer to home. He came for a visit to LWC in September and committed about a month later.

There are going to be some exciting duals coming up in our conference. Congrats to all the MSC teams and their performance's this past weekend. http://www.mid-southconference.org/article/3028.php Full results on trackwrestling.com.

We had 16 wrestlers attend Sunday School last week. Some of the names you may recognize...Nathan Boston, Austin Myers, Dylan West, Devin Morrow, Jake Burroughs, Trent Johnson...to name a few. This week's lesson will be led by Assistant Coach, Abe Cross.

Numbers went up last week, and we are expecting the same to happen again this week. Nathan Boston was in attendance last week, as well as some out-of-state talent. We aspire to give individual attention to everyone in the room, and hope to see you this Sunday.

Here is your opportunity to get ahead of the competition, and greatly enhance your chances of becoming a state champion. Every Sunday, Lindsey Wilson Assistant Coach, Charlie Pingleton, and the LWC wrestling team will be hosting a clinic/practice for all ages. There will always be an abundance of coaches/wrestlers to ensure one on one instruction for all whom attend at a ridiculously cheap price.
