The Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational has proven itself to be either the toughest in-season tournament or one of the toughest in-season tournaments year in and year out. As a wrestling community we acknowledge multiple time All Americans and even multiple time conference place-winners. I ask, with merit, with substantiation why aren't we doing the same for CKLV?
It is a BIG deal to place at CKLV. It is a tough tournament and when you earn a medal, you most likely had to defeat some top notch opponents in route to getting it. Do you know who all is going for their second, third or fourth CKLV medal this season? If not, here they are.

CKLV is going to be a GREAT tournament this season. Look very forward to it because there is going to be some outstanding wrestling.
For the rest of the week Johnnythompsonnum1 is going to be doing a weight by weight preview for CKLV. Two weight classes per day Monday through Friday.

Johnnythompsonnum1 at the time does not and plans on never
charging for content. However, I would like to extend the coverage I do for the
sport and can only do so through donation. Your contributions would help in a
variety of ways including but not limited to the following examples below.
To purchase a camera in order to conduct interviews with wrestlers, coaches and
wrestling personnel.
To start a wrestling podcast with Dennis Doderer, a former Iowa High School
state runner-up, Michigan State wrestler & writer of NYPD BLUE
To help cover the cost of travel and lodging to attend more wrestling
events
To create more content to where eventually Johnnythompsonnum1 is covering all
Divisions of Collegiate Wrestling. Right
now based on money, time & resource restraints Johnnythompsonnum1 is mainly
NCAA DI with a bit of NAIA mixed in here and there. I want to eventually be able to cover DI,
DII, DIII, NAIA, NJCAA, CCCAA, NCWA & all of Women’s wrestling.
If every reader of mine donated even $0.50 per month it’d be enough to achieve
these goals. So please think about
making a contribution to Johnnythompsonnum1 to help me extend the collegiate wrestling
coverage that I do.
Send donnation via Venmo to Stephen-Stonebraker-1
P.O. Box to send cash, check or money order coming soon.
