Preserving a Legacy - K-State’s Wrestling ProgramFor over 50 years, Kansas State University offered a wrestling program that became the state’s flagship at the collegiate level. However, K-State wrestling has now been dormant for half a century. K-State’s Wrestling Legacy gives readers a comprehensive look at the program’s history and connects it to the sport’s growth in the Sunflower State and its national influence.'I competed against Kansas State during college. Sadly, the program was dropped, but wrestling fans in Kansas and nationwide will get a lot out of Pat Kelly’s book. It is an entertaining and interesting read full of historical information not only about Kansas State and the sport of wrestling but also events and personalities that will motivate readers in their personal and professional lives.'-Dan Gable, 1968 and 1969 NCAA Champion for Iowa State, 1972 Olympic Champion, coached the Iowa Hawkeyes to 15 NCAA titles, distinguished member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient'Patrick Kelly’s penchant for wanting to know more is extremely evident in this book. As a wrestling historian, I understand the reaction to feeling like you don’t know the answer. Now, when people ask about the history of Kansas State wrestling, people around the state and the country have a resource to not only learn, but to be able to re-tell the stories contained within. Wrestling is full of colorful and unique personalities and Patrick’s delivered the stories and personalities with K-State wrestling’s short, but interesting history to the community. It’s one of those books you will read once but refer to it constantly in the future.'-Jason Bryant, wrestling historian, award-winning journalist, public address announcer for numerous NCAA championships and the London, Rio, and Paris Olympics
