Beeson has been right on this topic the entire time. His points about the possible affects such a series could have on Kansas wrestling have not been successfully disputed by anyone. He gave numbers and facts and everyone on the other side gave their emotions. Remember the triple crown we have now, was designed to increase interest in Freestyle and Greco. The numbers appear to show we have plenty of interest in folkstyle now, so why the need?? In fact, we already have a series - its called, subs, districts and State.

Owlbacker excellent post. It gets to what really separates wrestling from most other sports - our kids to know kids (and become friends with them) from other schools and towns. The friendships mean more than any award will, at least I hope. Everyone should go back and read the last sentence of your post and think about it.

BLT nice story - but, did Brycen do this for any awards, or for the competition. I assume he is just a competive kid - as such, no triple crown is necessary. All the triple crown idea is about is an award so the parents can brag. Remember when most of our kids go back to school after a weekend tournament most of the other kids in the school would have no idea what our kid just went thru or really care. In the end, its all about self-satisfaction from doing your best and being able to see friends you only see during the season and on facebook.
