Coach Landals 5 Report post Posted February 16, 2023 Coaches, Attached is information regarding the 2023 KY Freestyle / Greco National Team Dates, Clinics, Logistics etc. We had a pretty good turnout last year, and sent a 16U Freestyle team to Loves Park, Illinois and a Junior Freestyle team to Tulsa, Oklahoma. The teams were composed of some of the best Kentucky wrestlers from all over the state, and they were able wrestle 9ish duals against some of the best competition from all around country (Washington, California, Kansas, Wisconsin) Kentucky won several duals, had guys go undefeated (make the all-tournament team) and the Junior Team won the Rollie Hoover Freestyle Award. A few months later, 12 of the KY National Team members competed at Freestyle/Greco National Championships in Fargo, ND. (The Raney twins each won National Titles) In addition to the great wrestling opportunities, the guys also developed relationships and friendships with other Kentucky wrestlers from around the state. I think this is vital in growing our sport, and it’s really cool to see these guys interact with each other at tournaments throughout the High School Season. We’re trying to get as many KY athletes to the clinics as we can (Coach Shuck and Bellarmine have been great hosts) & then to the Freestyle/Greco State tournament. Thank you coaches for all you do & good luck this weekend! These are great opportunities, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out @ 719-209-1852 -Coach Landals 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ranger123 43 Report post Posted February 16, 2023 Great to see Coach Landals get this info out and shared with coaches and kids. I would encourage any and all wrestlers to try out freestyle and greco this off season. Have fun with it and learn some new skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
