Curtis,

Your wording on this question is loaded. You know better than me that wrestling is not football or roundball. In those team sports, they don't have individual champions. Later in life, if a wrestler had wrestled up for the sake of the team placing 8th vs. 11th at state and that wrestler was not on the podium, in my mind the upside was not worth the move. Later in life, a wrestler that landed on the podium and possibly secured an offer to help with his education while also scoring more points for his team will carry with them a lifetime accomplishment. There are exceptions of course with Dual Team championships or bumping up for single duals etc.
