bigdaddycoach 4 Report post Posted July 15, 2013 Our Kentucky Bluegrass Warriors team had another good year at the Midwest Nationals in Bloomington, Illinois last Saturday. We took our largest group ever, with 44 wrestlers. There were about 950 wrestlers in the tournament, with an especially big middle school group this year. Our 5th & 6th grade team placed 2nd, Our 7th & 8th grade team placed 4th, and Our 9th & 10th grade team placed 2nd. As usual, there were some great performances and there were a few really tough brackets. Once the final results are posted on the tournament website, I will follow up with a list of the individual place winners. Thanks to Keith Smith and Kentucky USA Wrestling for his ongoing support, and thanks to all of the coaches and parents who worked so hard to help our team represent Kentucky wrestling. Most of all, thanks to the 80+ wrestlers who trained for this event since March, both for themselves and their Warrior teammates. I'm proud to be part of such a first-class group.
