Last year we "rushed" to the vote of allowing older HS'rs to participate in State.....we should have had a sharp & dramatic increase in the numbers when we had classes that weren't coinciding with HS wt. classes---we gave HS'rs ample opportunity to acquire a State title @ 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, 160 etc. --- this opportunity made it much easier to "place in State" yet so few HS wrestlers took advantage of it! I am excited to watch the HS State Series this year as it will resemble a "Grand State".
There will be NO "Grand State", it gives older wrestlers a chance to continue doing what they love to do, WRESTLE. The Elite will be at Elite tournaments going on that same weekend. High School division was a good thing to vote in last year. 6U is a good thing to vote in this year.
