UtahWrestling.org: the Independent Voice of Utah Wrestling
Web Site Sanctioned by the Utah Wrestling Coaches
Association,
USA Wrestling-Utah, AAU Wrestling Utah and the Utah Junior High Wrestling
General Committee
Salt Lake Sites Site of the Day
Utah wrestling has a lot to offer. We
have quality athletes who are every bit as qualified and
worthy of college scholarships as any other state in the
nation. Since the creation of UtahWrestling.org, more Utah
high-school athletes have been ranked nationally by
Wrestling USA Magazine, and the recognition of younger
athletes has increased exponentially. Local and national
media use the site as a resource for the things they
write, and this tells me that I'm making steps toward
achieving my goal to help everyone realize that Utah
wrestling is top notch. In addition, I have been able to
help facilitate greater communication within the Utah
wrestling community posting tournament listings, dual meet
and tournament results, calls for teams to compete in
invitational high-school tournaments, and more.
The junior-high wrestling community
embraced the site last season, with very positive results,
and I fully expect that to continue to improve.
However, the challenge continues to be
gathering information. It is physically impossible for me
to attend every wrestling tournament and every dual meet.
But that does not mean that I cannot continue to serve the
Utah wrestling community. All I need is one thing:
information. Participation from Utah high-school coaches
increased dramatically last year, as did parents taking on
that responsibility, but it can be even better. Again, I
recommend asking a parent or a booster club president or a
team manager to take on the responsibility of reporting
results to UtahWrestling.org. Participation was vastly
improved last year but, with even more hands doing a
little bit here and there, we can continue to help make
the site an effective tool for recognizing our talented
Utah athletes both in Utah and across the nation.
Thank you.
