This is in response to no one in particular, it is just my personal thoughts on this topic. My overall thought is that it would penalize wrestlers that don't wrestle year 'round because they choose to do other sports like baseball and soccer that take up too much time. Wrestling all year is not feasible for many families due to time constraints, not to mention financial obligations.

I don't think anyone would argue that if you take two very young wrestlers with the same caliber athletic ability, the same mentality that the sport of wrestling takes to be really good, the same intelligence to put what they learn in practice and apply it during competition and the same desire to excel in the sport that the wrestler who goes at it year 'round would end up being the better wrestler by the time they reached high school. You shouldn't dismiss wrestlers' accomplishments of finishing in the top six at State because they didn't choose to wrestle year 'round.
