As for the awards for the 6-8 unders & kids new to the sport it does matter. My youngest son started wrestling when he was 4 ys old & wrestled over 30 matches & won 2. The next year he started winning about 80% of his matches. We decided to go to the Beloit round robin & they had trophys for first only. I told him & he was very happy about the idea of wrestling for a trophy. At the tournament he wrestled very good. He was not leaving without that award!! He won & on the 2 hour ride home I looked in the back seat & there he was sleeping still holding his torphy in his lap with both hands! This is one of many good memorys I have of Kansas wrestling. Now that they are older they really dont care about awards any more. We have left several tournaments without getting the awards because they did not want to wait in a long line.
