as far as Ive heard its around $10,000 a semester to send your kid to lynch with at least 1,000 students there...do the math
I know there have been some interest in why we were unable to attend the Florida and Virginia duals. (The Ironman and Dvorak was a huge test to our team...6th in both) Though, injuries, grades, and a not so deep line up to make the trip worth the travel: Indeed a tough call not attend such great meets. We really needed the break from so much travel. (NC, OK 2x, OH, IL)....great match ups, but our grades and some small injuries could cost us if we did not slow down. Being in Texas, and the schedule put forth on the team, is a tough haul. I believe by the mid/end of January we will be at full stream again. (Dak Adamson's injury was HUGE...he is 1st Class wrestler and will be greatly missed on the mat) So, I hope this clears some thoughts into why our team was not there.
*Please coach Tim Mathews, come to the Super 8 duals at Lakewood St Edward, the week after Ironman!
No, I'd take him to Wasatch, Sandpoint, Lake Stevens...to a coach who creates success without having to recruit. What would those home-grown programs do with recruits like these?
