Like it or not, Topeka is going to be split in the very near future. As others have said it will be because Topeka can't handle our group without gouging us at the hotels. I on the other hand, want to see it split for a different reason. I believe at that level of competition every competitor deserves a large surface on which to wrestle and that a half mat should be the minimum with a whole mat as the goal.
