I don't know if this conversation is even worth it. I will say this, I saw many many coaches and leaders in USAW @ Vegas with their teams. Maybe in your neck-of-the-woods there are some people in USAW crossing the line, and that isn't right and they should be removed. I will admit there are some strong feelings by people that I dont/cant understand, I cant understand what their issue is. Maybe I just dont see this leadership as being a concrete entity. They are people who volunteer time. I dont know, maybe I'm wrong after 33 years in this sport and there are leaders who are paid and coaches being paid, bosses and subordinates. All I see is a few who do a lot of work for little or no thanks, and that goes for both USAW & NUWAY coaches/members. I say thank to all of them and I am done with this conversation.

So, it sounds like both coasts of the US got an opportunity to wrestle some good competition. Nothing wrong with that.

I was at the Super32 most weights from 171 down were 130 plus kids in the brackets. Great wrestling both days. Just a fan.

USAW had everything to do with it "A." When they are calling people telling folks not to attend tournaments, then they are part of the problem. And yes, that is what is going on. Ask around and you'll find out the real truth and not what you just are being told by the higher ups.

We are USA WRESTLING. All of us. Dont tell me they held kids out. Like someone said earlier, a jack"ss coach held the kids out. USAW had nothing to do with it. Every kid and coach nationwide is USA Wrestling and that is something you should remember. Its not a fight and there wont be a winner. The young wrestlers are the focus and the future, NOT A COACH OR A LEADER OF USAW OR NUWAY! There isnt a coach worth his salt who would state otherwise, no matter how instrumental they are. Ask yourself if these kids care if they meet oneanother @ a USAW,NUWAY,S32,BestoftheWest,Fargo,Ironman,RTOC or the closest overpass on The 15. Work together and remember it isnt about YOU.

Zahid was a 7th grader last year when he entered THE FLO NATIONALS on the "SLY" and lost 4-0 to Dicamillo, beat Tomasello 3-2, and lost to 3-2 to Powell which dropped him to the 5th & 6th place match where he beat Miller 2-1.Look up those names in high school wrestling and they are all top high school kids.This kid is great.Takes everyone back to a young Coach Smith sneaking into the national trny with his older brother Leroy .As far as NUWAY & USA. Learn to get along. Stagger your trny's so we can do both. My team will compete in both and support both, as well as many solo acts. We wish Vegas and S32's could have been on consecutive weekends. We would have went to both. What happened to S.Knoblauch, watch him wrestle a couple times, where did he place.Cisneros/Martinez final was great.Martinez is a beast and hope Coach B. is taking some of his kids to Ironman. Make the call Coach. Great time and Great wrestling. Good job by all.

So what? I multiple Fargo placer didn't place either.

A 2009 Fargo Junior Champ wrestled Cadets this year and did not place.

He won at 98 lbs. and got second at 105lbs., The Junior level light weights are not as deep as Cadets, not many 17-19 year olds are that light. That is why some cadets move up at these weights, for a chance a National Title.

Navejas won it the year before. Do some research and spout off when you have a clue.

The brackets were not weak. Yes they were small for the elite brackets, maybe 28-36 on most, but most were loaded with great kids across the board. The Valencia kid is for real, he beat Navejas for the title. There realy should be harmony between USA & NUWAY. The only beef is between jackass coaches and parents, who should help fundraise and then get out of the room. There was more USA a garb here than NUWAY, nobody minded. The kids love the extra matches. Work together and keep you mouth shut. This world needs less whiney MEN and more good men. Remember, if you are on here ing about something you suck and should get a life. As for us we will continue to support USA & NUWAY!

The last two posts are so misinformed, its sad. The participants were posted for weeks so to say you didn't know how many kids would show is ridiculous. Ruben Navejas Fargo champ from WA lost to Valencia who I believe is an 8th grader. Ask the Fullerton coach how much he appreciates what NUWAY/SCWAY has done for his program.

Don't spout off about stuff you are obviously clueless about.

It is funny that NUWAY is so concerned about spending an extra 15 bucks on a USA card..But, could care less that you wasted 100+ dollars on a hotel. NUWAY, you should care more about your members. It is your fault several families wasted their money on hotels. You should have made it aware to everyone that you did not have the turnout you were advertising. Just my two cents.

the RMN series and the Roller series are far superior.
