Patrick Kennedy - 2x AA

[maxpain]

The old pickup truck as Shane Sparks would say. Great career finishing as a 3rd place finisher. All heart and grit!! Another great senior that we would benefit from sticking around the HWC.

He loves wrestling. I'm sure he will stick around.

Honestly one of my favorite wrestlers. Met him in the Hillcrest Cafeteria our freshman year, and have loved him ever since. Incredible competitor.

Guy was a grinder. Not many would have predicted 4/3 finish after 2x DNP but he settled into 174. And he had and all-time great walk out song!

I wasn’t familiar with it, now it’s one my favorites!!

Coached against him in Minnesota class act. Hard nosed Iowa wrestler all the way. Lived up tto the hype 4th and 3rd is impressive

PK also said in his interview after the Kharchla match that he's doing freestyle next and hopes Tom hires him in the HWC

He seems better at freestyle than folkstyle so hoping he sticks around, he might still have another level he can reach like DeSanto has shown.

PK is another of the Hawks I enjoyed watching. Not gifted with athletic prowess but a huge heart and limitless guts. He never gave up an easy point.

He is a warrior. Couldn't be happier for him.

However, I do think most people thought he would be a perineal challenger for NC when he committed to Iowa.

Too funny about the "hope" part. Great guy and into HWC now. I'm 83....no 98% sure Mikey will be too

PK is about as high character a guy as you get. He is a great Hawkeye.

Will be great for future middle and upper middle weights to roll with.

Hoping Drake stays with HWC too! With Bachmanns coming in soon and currently representing team Puerto Rico, I wonder if others may venture out and represent another countries too like Drake/Mexico, Caliendo/Country?

Thats great news. Building a good RTC. Thank you for the update. How do you feel about Drake? Thank you for what you do.

I would rather see the majority (preferably all) of the HWC guys battle to represent the USA.

What impressed me most about Kennedy was his loyalty (unwavering), heart, and determination! Love the guy!!

 

[T8KUDWN]

Have any of you listened to Kennedy's post tournament interview where he references it gets hard staying confident as a team sometimes, but he thought they did stay confident even though they got beat up sometimes and got F ing torn apart online, they stayed positive and gave credit to the guys and Ayala & Mikey helping to lead the guys into battle? Also talks about the coaching staff being mentors and the closest thing you can have to a father that is not blood.

 

[kingstown]

Kennedy always seemed like a guy that got the most out of what God gave him. Very good wrestler and rep for the team. Sparks is corny but his words describe PK pretty well. Tough dude!
