Kansas- The Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association (KWCA) has announced the high school senior wrestlers who have accepted their invitation to take the mat in the inaugural KWCA Kansas Shrine Duals. The wrestlers who were selected, and accepted their invitation, will compete during the KWCA Kansas Shrine Duals on Sunday, March 17th, 2024 at Fugate Gymnasium on the campus of Newman University in Wichita, Kansas. Gates open at 2:30 pm and the opening ceremonies will begin at 3:15 pm. Tickets and advertising opportunities are available at www.KansasShrineDuals.com.

The KWCA and the Shrine Bowl of Kansas, Inc came together to create the Kansas Shrine Duals as a senior allstar wrestling event for a cause. The Kansas Shrine Duals will look to create the same level of impact and awareness for Shriners Children’s Hospitals that the 50-year traditions of the Kansas Shrine Bowl have established. All net proceeds from the Shrine Bowl of Kansas, Inc events benefit Shriners Children’s.

“We’re excited to bring the wrestling community of Kansas together to showcase some of the top talent in the state while making a genuine impact on the lives of children,” said Brice Kesler, Executive Director of the Shrine Bowl of Kansas, Inc.

All Shrine Bowl of Kansas, Inc. events are produced and presented to benefit Shriners Children’s. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity that produces annual events and related activities, with net proceeds benefiting Shriners Children’s. Shriners Children’s is a health care system of 22 hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric specialty care, innovative research, and outstanding teaching programs for medical professionals. Children up to the age of 18 are eligible for care and receive all services in a family centered environment, regardless of the patients' ability to pay.

All selections were made by the KWCA after review of applications submitted by wrestlers and following an acceptance of an invitation to participate. Wrestlers who chose not to apply or who were invited but declined their invitation are not included in the final selections. The general divide of the Kansas Shrine Bowl is used to assign wrestlers to the East or West team. However, some exceptions are made to ensure fulfillment of all weight classes with wrestlers who applied and accepted invitations. All matchups are subject to change.
