Weigh-In: Wrestlers get a ten pound allowance from your HS scratch weight class. Example: 103-pounders can weigh 113, etc. We will offer home site weigh-ins with your high school coach on Friday, March 27, anytime up until 1 p.m. or wrestlers can weigh-in at site at One Expocentre on Friday, March 27th, at 4:30 p.m.
Uniforms: Dual singlets will be provided by Blue Chip for competitors to wear during
the event. These must be returned after the meet. All competitors will receive an award, T-shirt and mesh shorts. Shoes, headgear, warm-ups, and shower towel are to be provided by the wrestler.
Format: Dual format. The two wrestlers who are competing in any particular weight will represent the “Big School” team (6A and 5A) or the “Small School” team (4A and 321A). Wrestlers will compete in three two-minute periods with all National Federation folkstyle rules applicable. Red Team will be “Small School” vs. “Big School”.
Introductions: For the pre-meet introductions, each wrestler is asked to have with them a youth wrestler from their community to escort them as they go onto the mat for introductions and handshakes. This was started by the late Bob Cairns and the KWCA wishes to continue this tradition.
USA Card: Each wrestler must have a current USA Wrestling card with them to participate. Cards will be available for purchase for $30.00, or wrestlers must bring proof of their USA card.
Meal: A post-match meal will be provided to the wrestlers and coaches selected for the event after the dual at no cost to the wrestler.
Sponsorship: The Senior Classic is sponsored by the KWCA and USAW-Kansas. This allows us to have a first class event with very minimal cost to the participants. We would like to thank these sponsors for their support of this event.
Pictures: Team pictures will be available. Further information will be available at the event.
