| I have participated in wrestling tournaments directed by Gary for many years. As a former wrestling coach, my team competed in his tournaments and now as Athletic Director, our teams continue to participate in several tournaments run by Gary. He communicates effectively to both AD and coach and his tournaments are highly organized and are run very efficiently. Very professional tournament director and an overall great guy! |

| The Mentor wrestling team has attended Gary kanaga`s tournaments for years. I`ve never left one of his tournaments feeling like it could have been run better. He is consistant and streamlined. He makes it easy to enter rosters with multiple notices and reminders. He promotes the heck out of his tournaments and encourages attendance at others. He represents what a quality event should lookand run like. I should also add that Gary and his associates are very approachable and knowledgable. If you dont know whats going on at one of their tournaments it is definitly not Gary`s fault as they are great at supplying you with information. Gary ran our school tournament this year and it was a toatal success. |

| Gary Kanaga has run our North Coast Classic Wrestling Tournament since 2011. Hiring him was one of the best moves we made for our tournament. Since hiring him to help run our tournament it has run extremely efficient. He communicates with coaches, takes care of seeding and setting up the pools and brackets, and keeps the flow of the tournament running smoothly. He is very professional to work with. Our tournament is a pool to bracket tournament with 34 teams and 14 wrestling mats. We wanted to run 3 different bracket tournaments following the pools and Gary helped us make this happen. I look forward to working with Gary for years to come. |

| Gary does a fantastic job handling the tournament set up as well as the day of operations of the tournament. He is there to answer any phone calls or concerns regarding issues that may arise from our end of the tournament. It is with out reservation that I give Gary such a high rating. The ease of communication and how well the tournament is run will have us going back to him for years to come. |

| Gary has done our wrestling tournament a couple times. The seeding process is done seamlessly, communication is clear and timely, and the bout board it projected in both gyms without flaw. Not only does the tournament run quickly and smoothly Gary does a great Job being the voice of the tournament as well. He announces matches in the finals, he coordinates the parade of champions, and takes care to know something about each of the wrestlers in the finals. He is very professional and knowledgable and makes my job as the Athletic Director extremely easy when it comes to our invitational. |

| Gary sets-up all our communications with coaches and athletic directors for our Hudson Holiday Tournament. He organizes seeds and gets weigh-in sheets ready to go. Greets the coaches upon arrival and directs teams to the weigh-in area. He handles changes efficiently and gets the brackets ready so we can start on time. He manages the results and has a VPU to broadcast on the bout board for upcoming bouts and automatically updates team scores. He communicates well at the coaches meeting and helps to organize officials as well. Our tournament has been a great improvement in the years that Gary has been helping us. He also started a JV tournament for us with 30 teams and that has also been a huge success. He is a true professional in every aspect. Gary has really worked hard to help promote our sport and give kids opportunities to compete. I look forward to having him help us in years to come. |

| I would like to recommend Gary Kanaga to receive expert status with Track Wrestling. He was a major part of our Gene Mills Eastern Nationals two years ago in Syracuse coming to our aid. Our tournament was being delayed with seeding, numbering and duplicate names in brackets. Gary was there coaching 20 of his kids. He saw the delay and said he can get it up and running in 20 minutes. Gary stepped up and took over and ran our entire event all day long for us while his assistants coached the kids. His expertise with Track Wrestling helped us out immensely. Gary?s knowledge of Track Wrestling is crucial to make for a smooth run tournament. I want to Thank Gary for all his help that day and coming to our Rescue.

| I would like to recommend Gary Kanaga to receive expert status with Track Wrestling. He has been a major part of our Perry Pin City Tournament and Youth Tournaments for the past several years. He manages many duties, including: setting up tournament parameters, emailing coaches, preliminary seeding, weigh-in procedures, lineup modifications, bout sheets, mat assignments, bout boards, tournament flow, and even announcing. His expertise with Track Wrestling has pushed our events to become bigger and better every year and has encouraged us to continue and expand our use of Track Wrestling, even recommending it to other schools who are looking for tournament management software. There is no doubt that Gary is very well known in the wrestling community as both a coach and expert at running tournaments and deserves ?expert status? with Track Wrestling. |
