Fargo 2011

Recommended Posts

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.

They said that cause he was wrestling in the 5th place match. I just watched him get 5th. Great job Cooper

Anyone know what happened to John Fahy though?

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.
