    Water is wet?! The sky is blue?! CCrunner with a trolling comment designed to provoke an argument?! Yes, in addition to all of these, Kaleb is a 15 year old 8th grader and it isn't shocking. Honestly, who cares? Everything is within the rules and as for myself, I wish my parents hadn't sent me to school when I was not barely five, then I would have been able to be 18 or 19 as a senior (rather than 17) and I would have been on a more level playing field with others who were older and more physically developed. That is not the point here. The point is that he is very good and his wrestling and accomplishments should be noted.

    Ditto snugglyhippo, I've watched him wrestle for years (beginning in youth tournaments). Some of the good ones just catch your attention. Great wrestler and great family!!!

    snuggly: Even if my parents had waited until I was 8 years old, I STILL would not have been physically mature enough. The body needs hormones in order to produce muscles. Looking back, I wish my parents would have had me placed on steroids (of the legal and booster sort) at 11 or 12. It sure would have made my first few months in the Army a bit more bearable.

    cruiser, I still get a huge kick out of your posts:D! Technique and mind set (and I'm going with technique) is a lot of the answer. I know he is a once in a life-time wrestler (o.k not once in a life time but they're rare) but look at David Taylor. He still looked like he was in sixth grade when he was a freshman (and a freshman when he was a senior)! Anyway, I've watched Kaleb wrestle many times and he has those two big assets going for him.
