Chief we have 8th graders right now that are cadets. Any kid born in 1998 is a cadet. That means as of Jan 1,2013 those kids are cadets not "going to be cadets". Also, whehter you agree with rule or not, using your thought process, just because they finished 8th grade 2 weeks before cadet duals and a month before Fargo doesn't give the experience that the kids who have wrestled 5 days a week in a high school program. That was one of the arguments made as to why HS state placers should have to wrestle in the hs division. You are splitting hairs here trying to justify your position. The concept is the same for both situations.
