In 2010 we saw an increase of 415 wrestlers at the subdistrict tournaments. 180 of the 415 were in the HS division over the previous year's 16U competitors.

I think the HS division offers and opportunity for kids who were not on varsity, who didn't make it to HS state, or who just want to extend their season a few weeks. A large number of the elite level competitors will attend NHSCA Nationals and begin preparing for FS/GR season.

I believe someone stated that changing the 16U to HS was not a successful change. Almost a 39% increase. I don't know about most of you but I would take a 39% increase in my business ANY year!
