Winter sports finals rapidly approaching

Looking at the calendar on my desk of upcoming events, I can see the next few weeks are going to be busy and action-packed to say the least.

Things are already in motion in the pool, with the GWAL swim meet taking place earlier this week and the AVCTL meet going on as I type this.

State swimming is on the docket for next Saturday in Topeka, as well as wrestling sub-state taking place all over the state. Speaking of wrestling, the GWAL wrestling tournament is in full-swing today, and I will be heading out shortly to grab highlights of the action which you can view later this evening.

State wrestling is on the slate for Feb. 27, with Class 5A and 6A finals taking place at the new INTRUST Bank Arena in downtown Wichita. Class 4A will be at the Bicentennial Center in Salina, and Class 3-2-1A taking place at Fort Hays State. As always we’ll have reporters all over the state, and you can expect complete coverage of all the happenings at CatchItKansas.com.

The beginning of March brings us state bowling championships and sub-state basketball, with state basketball rounding it out on Mar. 13.

We’re working on some new things to spruce up the website for state tournaments which we think you will like and we will of course be working diligently to bring you the most up-to-date information on all these events as they happen.

Then we can all start looking forward to spring sports! Then again, maybe we should just get through the next few weeks first. To use an old cliché, “strap in, it’s going to be a wild ride.”
