2014 WIAA State Championships

I just wanted to give a little recap of AWA at the 2014 WIAA State Tournament.  Once again this is one of my favorite weekends of the year, I can still vividly remember winning my first state title and there are not many moments to this days that match that feeling.  It is such a great weekend because the stakes run so high, the thrill of victory is immense and the agony of defeat is immeasurable.  Our young athletes work hard all year round for 6 minutes in the Kohl Center at the end of February.  We were lucky enough to have 20 athletes place this year, here is a list of all of them.
