Thanks again, everyone! I'll have to spread some more rep around when the 24 hrs. is up because I've evidently spread too much on this thread.

Phobia: I am a Mepo dude, born, raised and reside there currently. In town, my last name is pretty much synonymous with wrestling. We had some fast dudes in the 90's. We had a really good 4X100 relay team one year... Aaron Egbert was the primary reason for this. He was a multiple state champ in track and a total freak of an athlete. Track was pretty consistently good until about 2003... and they were pretty off and on until this year... I believe they had a relay team that won state this year. My bro, who was a 2003 grad placed in a couple events in high school...all long distance. He was also a high school wrestling state champ and 3 time state finalist. I have two other bros who are 13 and 15...the 13 year old is a freakishly good athlete. Great football player (CB and RB), good at baseball, will be good when he goes out for track next year and won his 4th Iowa grade school state title in wrestling this year. Not sure if ya'll have heard of the Brands twins who wrestled for Iowa and did well on the National/Olympic circuit, but Brennan wrestled Terry's son, Nelson a couple times this year, one time beating him 18-3 at state. He got beat once this year by a kid named Gable Sieperda... Sieperda was obviously named after Dan Gable. Wrestling fanatic parents in Iowa are die-hard....they name their kids after legendary wrestlers such as Gable and have their kids wrestle 100+ matches per year. Even while my bros are competing in other sports, they are hitting wrestling practices throughout the week as well. Heck, there is an Iowa youth wrestling forum that many people (including myself) post on regularly. My 15 year old brother is doing well too... placed at state for the 2nd year straight.

I probably rambled too much, but I never thought anyone on here would know anything about Mepo, so it pumped me up. I don't know why I had to go on the wrestling tangent. As the oldest of 4 brothers, I am obviously very proud of all of them and as the father of 2 baby girls, I am very proud of them as well.
