Champions Tournament results

The Champions tournament on Saturday was a tough one, but our wrestlers did great! Keegan and Kelan both took 1st Place, Jerrit and Tezlin took 2nd Place, and Braygen took 3rd.

If you're going to State on Saturday, please get registered soon. We will be doing weigh in's after practice on Wednesday, so please be registered by then. If you don't sign up and weigh in by Wednesday, you'll need to weigh in at the Triple C Arena in Panguitch on Friday night.

Here's a slideshow from the tournament on Saturday:

Next Week and STATE!!!

Next week will be our last week of scheduled practices for this wrestling season. The advanced class will be on Tuesday and Wednesday from 4:30-6:30, and the regular class on Wednesday from 4:30-5:30. Please try to be to practice this week if you are planning on going to State.

If you haven't registered for State already, please do so on Track Wrestling. A copy of the flyer with all the information is below.  Please be signed up by Wednesday morning, so we know what wrestlers are going before practice.

I've emailed in a request to see if we can do weigh-in's at practice on Wednesday, but I haven't gotten an answer yet. I'll update this site if we get the ok. If we don't, you'll need to plan on being in Panguitch Friday night to weigh in.

If you are planning on coming to the BBQ on Friday night at the motel, please text and let us know. We need to know by Sunday evening who will be there so we can purchase enough food.

We want to wish the wrestlers going to Springville this weekend "Good Luck". We'll post a slideshow and results on Monday.

Slideshow issues?

If you're noticing our slideshows aren't very long, view them from a computer. For some reason, some phones only show about half of our pictures. I noticed it on our North Sevier slideshow. You should be seeing 52 pictures, but the couple phones I've checked only show around 20-30, and I have no idea how to fix it!

Team Update

This week we will be having practices as scheduled. This Saturday, we will be going to the Champions tournament in Springville. You sign up for this tournament on Track Wrestling, and you will need your USA card to attend. Registration closes Thursday afternoon, however, we will need to know if you are going by Wednesday. We will do weigh in's after practice.

Click here for the tournament flyer.

There are three styles available for this tournament. The style we do is folkstyle. Please be careful when you sign up that you don't accidently choose freestyle or greco (unless you are planning on competing in one of those on purpose). Choose folkstyle. There are different start times for different ages, so please make sure you look at the flyer so you know what time you have to be there.

We are also excited to announce that we are moving to Gunnison after State! Our new gym will be located in the RV Center behind Freedom Ford. Thanks to Braygen's mom and dad for hooking us up with the new space!

We will be sending home a note with the wrestlers on Wednesday. Here's a copy of what it says:

Emery and North Sevier Slideshows (and some results)

We also had a good day in North Sevier on Saturday! It was hard to get pictures of all the wrestlers, because they had us split up in two different gyms. So most of the pictures come from the little gym (older boys). I apologize for the lack of pictures of the younger kids.

I don't know all of the results, because they haven't updated it on Track Wrestling yet. But I do know some of them:

Kent - 3rd Place
Bridger - 3rd Place
Jace - 1st Place
Tezlin - 1st place in 4th Grade and 1st Place in 5-6th Grade
Keegan - 1st place in 3rd Grade and 1st Place in 4th Grade
Kelan - 2nd Place
Nathan - 1st Place
Owen Spencer - 2nd Place
Jerrit - 1st Place
Kyan - 3rd Place
Jake - 1st Place in 2nd Grade and 1st Place in 3rd Grade

Other Wrestlers that went that I don't have results for:

Owen Paulson
Jacob
Braygen
Kaden
Gage
Hunter
Glen

If they update the Track Wrestling website with the results, I'll update them here as well. Here's a slideshow:

North Sevier Tournament

You can now pre-register for the North Sevier Tournament on TrackWrestling. Apparently, they are just going to have you enter your weight when you sign up. It shows the cut off for registration is Friday at 7:00 pm (Central Standard Time). THEY WILL NOT ALLOW REGISTRATION ON SATURDAY!!

North Sanpete Slideshow

This week we will have practices as scheduled. Advanced class Tuesday and Wednesday from 4:30-6:30 pm, and the regular class will be on Wednesday from 4:30-5:30.

 We will be attending the North Sevier tournament on Saturday (North Sevier High School). The flyer says they are going to have registration on TrackWrestling, but I haven't seen it on there yet. I'm sure they'll have it up by Tuesday or Wednesday. Weigh in's will hopefully be Wednesday at practice, so you will need to be sure and let the coaches know if you are going, so we can get your weight called in. Wrestling Saturday will begin at 9 am. The cost is $10.

There is also a tournament in Emery on Friday. There will be at least one coach there (Riley) if any wrestlers are planning on going. If you are going, we will be calling in weights on Thursday. Let Riley know at practice on Wednesday so we can include you when we report the weights. The cost for Emery is $10, and wrestling begins at 5 pm. 

Below is a slideshow of the North Sanpete tournament. I don't know all of the results, but I'll list those I do know:

 Jake took 1st Place, Braygen took 1st Place in 3rd Grade and 1st in 4th Grade, Keegan 1st in 3rd Grade and 1st in 4th Grade, Tezlin 1st in 4th Grade and 1st in 5th Grade, Damon 2nd Place, Jaxson 2nd Place, Nathan 2nd Place, Jerrit took 2nd Place in 2nd Grade and 2nd Place in 3rd Grade, Kent 3rd Place, Jacob 2nd Place, Owen 2nd Place, Kyan 3rd Place. I'm missing the results for Douglas, Lane, Glen, Gage, little Owen, and Kelan.  If you are the parent of one of the wrestlers I'm missing, let me know and I'll update the results!

This Week...

This week we will have our regularly scheduled practices. Saturday, we will be going to the North Sanpete tournament. Weigh in's are from 7-8:30 am, and the cost is $10.

We've had a few parents ask about rooms for State Wrestling. Here's the info for those who may have missed it:

We are planning on staying at the Quality Inn Bryce Canyon the night of April 4th. It's about 5 miles outside of Panguitch, but it's a lot nicer of a motel than the ones in town. Plus, we are planning on doing a little BBQ for the team that night, and this motel has a room you can do stuff like that in.  You can click here for the website and to book online. If you prefer to call them, the phone number is (435) 676-8770. I would suggest booking ASAP, rooms fill up pretty fast.

Parent Note

Here's a copy of the parent note that was sent home this week...


Parents:

There are a couple of things we need to tell you about... First, Cody has sold his gym, which includes the building we currently wrestle in. The sale won’t affect the rest of this season, but we will be moving to a new location after State. Between now and State (April 5^th), please make sure Cody has your contact information so we can let you know the details and location for next season.

Second, both Cody and Riley have accepted positions as head coaches for the Gunnison Middle School Wrestling Team, for the 2014-2015 school year. We will be incorporating the middle school wrestlers into our practices, which will help the older and more advanced wrestlers on our team. Starting next season, we will be accepting wrestlers from Kindergarten thru 8^th grade.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you!

~Team Takedown Coaches
