The thing is that these rules are not just for wrestling, but for all sports in KSHSAA. Football, basketball and volleyball are even more restricted than that.

Compared to many states, 400 miles past the border is incredibly generous. That would mean Colby could go 400 miles EAST of Kansas City or Lansing 400 miles WEST of the Colorado line. That equates to nearly an 800 mile trip. A lot of states limit you to 300 miles from home, even within state borders.

As far as working with kids during the school year, outside of the season, that is pretty much universal I believe (I could be wrong, but I don't know of a state that doesn't have that rule). Same can be said about the outside competition during school season. These aren't just part of a great KSHSAA plan against wrestling.

Considering that the rest of the nation weighs in at the site of meets and tournaments an hour (duals) or two (tournaments) before the event and here we can still weigh-in at home the morning of the event means to me that KSHSAA and Rick Bowden have our backs.
