This weekend we will host the 11th Middle School State tournament. The mission for this event is to set the line ups for the Heartland Middle School National Duals. This mission continues but I am a bit disturbed by the data so I am reaching out to you for help. While we have been nearly 100% successful in filling all of our lineups the number of participants in this event has diminished by over 30% from its peak:

2020 Hutch 204
2019 Hutch 206
2018 Abilene 209
2017 Lindsborg 224
2016 Lindsborg 291
2015 Lindsborg 274
2014 Lindsborg 305
2013 Lindsborg 304
2012 Lindsborg 292
2011 Lindsborg 240
2010 Lindsborg 211

I would like to have some feedback and I will seek this via email as well as from this forum. What do we need to do to get some growth in participants?

Good luck to ALL of those participating this weekend.
