yes I had a feeling Snyder would be top five at least. I knew he'd be out for blood after missing out on state in track by less than half a second. Congrats to him couldn't of happened to a nicer guy. Newsom really did impress me. He ran some decent races at the start of the season but nothing that really made me think he'd break into the top five. But he worked hard and everything turned out really well for him. As long as he keeps working hard theres no reason he doesn't have as much chance as anybody else to win state next year

 

As for the whole "Coniglio Conflict" thats the point of the boards to talk "smack" and make predictions. You made him eat his words and also brought some respect to West Tennessee while doing so. You proved to everyone you're legit and suprised quite a few people

peace everyone.....

Thanks Loren, i'm expecting big things from you /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

 

oh yeah kudos to dyersburg. I think they ran outstanding and represented the west really well. They deserve a slap on the back.

 

It's been good knowing mark. . too bad i sent an assassin to take care of him tonight at his McKenzie home for being too much of a threat /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> jk

 

He and conig are the guys to watch in the 3200. along with jumpin jack kaiser with his super fast kick at the end of race. the 32 will be very competitive this year. a lot of talent. Don't leave out Jeff Musick either! ol' snyder will want to make it after missing it by 2 tenths or whatever it was. Those guys are tough.

 

very proud of the determination of the athletes' at state.

 

again great job by everybody

Yeah, I know exactly how you feel.

I was glad to see Coniglio blow at State with his Willy Wonka lookin self. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

 

It really stinks to talk alot of smack, and then you dont back it up.

 

Hey dude, I have an idea, you can start talking crap about people the day you win a state championship. Until that day, back of Conigs.....

Jumpin Jack's super fast kick isn't nearly as impressive when he runs 80s the first 7 laps. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> That was probably one of the funniest races I've ever seen.

im extremely proud of my team

i no we were under dogs goin into the race

even though we placed 3rd i felt we represented

our school, our town, and the west well

i couldnt ask for a better team

Thanks Coach beckley for beleiving in us

we wouldnt have made it without u

 

 

 

hey dont worry about the 1,2,3 thing, Loren. we won state this year so there is no need to come back in '09. the MLK varsity cross country team will be seeing if we can get volleyball to go coed so we can join. if not we will be joining the hume-fogg ultimate frisbee team.

by the way, Loren, i'm Micah Wasserman. im sorry i didnt introduce myself on saturday- i was intimidated by you after i ran a 17:2x (i dont remember exactly. trying to forget.)

congratulations on an awesome and unanticipated performance at state!

 

and i know theres this talk of my 800 and yes i did run a 1:45 and yes it was on steeplechase and yes it was barefoot and yes i was wearing ankle weights but i have decided to not rejoin the MLK track team. i have arranged to join the Macon County track team where i will take Brandon and Stevens place as the 3200 and 1600 runners for the team while they compete in shotput, discus, and the 100.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
