Twitter Updates on/for Guerrilla Wrestling Club members involved in Greco-Roman/Freestyle/Folkstyle wrestling.

Nash Graner threw Kane Larson to his back today, and I brought ice cream treats in to practice. That’s all.

I’ve been at this awhile, and I don’t get a ton of “firsts”…

Tonight, our room was entirely silent after the workout. It was glorious. Not a peep nor a murmur came out. I didn’t know we had worked that hard.

Fresh off a disappointing U23 World Team Trials, @CalderSheehan came in last night and let me put him on the spot at practice.

Get back on the horse and ride. We’re lucky to have living examples all around us.

Hive™️ alum Antony Tuttle and Leo T are in the U23 Greco-Roman 82KG bracket, too!

[Guerrilla WC @Guerrilla_WC]

Max Balow is in the U23 Greco-Roman WTT 130KG bracket today.

Calder Sheehan is in the U23 70KG Freestyle bracket tomorrow.

I’ll be avoiding responsibilities and spectating this weekend.

A club alum texted me at 7:45AM about a raffle fundraiser for their U23’s trip.

I’m a sucker for a raffle, but I’m barely awake. That ain’t even fair.

Which brings me to this afternoon and a trip to Pine Island to Lauren Elsmore’s party. Lauren brings people together. She’s also tough as nails. I gotta get over to watch her, Armagost, and others over at Sioux Falls soon. Go Cougars.

After Kaisen’s, we hopped over to Elle Eickhoff’s party in Chatfield as well. Elle’s been a leader in so many communities. 100% focus on Freestyle in Dubuque is gonna unlock some more greatness there.

Yesterday, the gal and I started our day at Kaisen Johnson’s party. I can’t wait to see what he’s capable of up at St. John’s both on the gridiron and the mat. Looking at his tables and awards, he’s pretty bright, too. I sense more accomplishment in his future.

Saturday night, I ventured out to Viola for Bronson Shea’s graduation party. “The Franchise” now owns his own lawn care business. You’ll would’ve thought it was Gopher Count, driving through town and parking.

I’m banking on him being rich enough to sponsor in a couple of years.

[Guerrilla WC @Guerrilla_WC]

From PI, we jetted down to Preston for Kane Larson’s grad party. Kane’s accomplishments speak for themselves. His best wrestling is still ahead of him. His leadership has shown not only in his home program, but also in our club.

[Guerrilla WC @Guerrilla_WC]

In PI, hitting Keagan Lowrie’s grad party. First of the season. Keagan was a utility man. That kid followed a lot of my directions and still didn’t quite get what he wanted. I’ll always appreciate the way he did the darn thing.

If your mother is at Northern Plains, you better start a line of chore credit or something. This is borderline-abysmal. Bless all the moms on this Mothers Day!

In this Backyard, it’s “win or go home,” and this crew hasn’t left since the 90's.

Where there’s a pitch, there’s a legend.

[Guerrilla WC @Guerrilla_WC]

A reminder that there is NO PRACTICE tonight in Chatfield on account of Northern Plains Greco weigh-ins.

[Guerrilla WC @Guerrilla_WC]

Hosting Pan-Ams in a Northern Plains state during our regional is such a bummer.

[MatBoy @Seth_Duckworth]

For high school seniors or their parents who still want to wrestle in college. There are still opportunities out there. You probably won't get much scholarship, it probably won't be your dream school, it probably won't be D1. But there are a lot of schools with roster spots

[Guerrilla WC @Guerrilla_WC]

It takes everybody. Blessed to have these folks and more pouring into athletes that compete with us!

The athlete who had arguably the most success this weekend stopped me after practice to ask two specific situational questions from said weekend.

1. Success is rarely an accident.
2. If that don’t fire me up, I’m in the wrong business.

[Guerrilla WC @Guerrilla_WC]

I’m really banking on the youngest Graner not making me get up extra early to get weight off. Maybe Steele can be a heavyweight by the time he’s in 16U.
