From my understanding, they gave all the state champs (either style) until 5/11, to reserve their spots which are guaranteed,....some choose not to go for whatever reason, but most do...
After they gather which ones are going, they call anyone else they want, to fill the holes. Usually 2 starters per weight class and 1-2 alternates per weight class. They will also sometimes juggle kids between 2 weights. Whatever they think will position them with the strongest possible teams to bring home the gold.

I am sorry about the delay, but I have never posted on here before. Paperwork was given to the state champs in each style. Each of the people chosen for these teams were discussed among 6 people and paperwork was sent to them. Everyone should have received paperwork if they were selected for the team. We will have 2 tough teams and it will be fun!

Where do the wrestlers get the paperwork that you need filled out? Because if they didn't take 1st they did get any papers.

I think all of the wrestlers have been contacted and sent the proper paperwork. I made a list of the people that have sent the paperwork back to me.
Every team consists of 17 wrestlers and 5 alternates. We need to spread the alternates around in order cover all of the weights in case of an injury or to rest a wrestler. I expect our teams to get 16-18 matches in 4 days against tough competition. A wrestler can bump 1 weight class so there was a lot of thought and discussion among the 6 of us when we met about 3 weeks ago. More papers will be sent out if the current invites are not returned.

Thank you for your continued patience on this information. We wanted to go through all the appropriate channels so the information we do put out is accurate. This information has been run through the process so you can start planning your schedule around this (of course, if stuff comes up that we can't control we reserve the right to make schedule changes).

Schoolboy Team Schedule:

Tuesday, June 17th:

12:30pm to 1pm Wrestler check in at Augsburg College wrestling room

1pm to 3pm schoolboy dual team practice

3pm to 3:45 shower/relax

3:45 to 4:45 Wrestlers and coaches only meeting/ handout gear

5:00pm to 6:30 schoolboy dual team practice/ parent meeting

After practice kids can go home. We will have host homes for outstate kids. If your child needs a place to stay on Tuesday night let one of the coaches know before the evening practice starts.

Wednesday, June 18th:

The bus will load at 3:15 AM Wednesday MORNING and leave PROMPTLY at 4:00AM from the Doubletree Park Place hotel in St. Louis Park the address to the hotel is actually 1500 Park Place BLVD, Minneapolis, MN 55416. The hotel is located basically at the intersection of 394 and Hwy 100. We chose this location because it is very central to most of the athletes and they have a safe and secure parking lot.

We usually return around Midnight Sunday night/ early Monday morning June, 22 or 23rd.

More information will be coming as we solidify it. Also, if you are wanting to make a donation of food, gear or money to the Schoolboy team it is greatly appreciated and much needed please PM coach Tim Bengtson.

Again thank you for your continued patience and a huge thank you to all of the parents that are already stepping up to the plate. You make this an incredible experience for each and every athlete. THANK YOU!!! - Coach Elsenpeter

We understand the work schedule situation so in the schedule above we list it during the evening practice- it will probably be from 5:45 to 6:30.
