This is one tough weight this year, especially in District 2.

You can probably mail the gold to Jarret Jurgens from G.C. Greater Gold, no one has come close to him this year at 58 or 61. Then behind him you have two more state placers from last year 8U/52 lbs. (both in District 3) in Treaster from Newton and Joint from Junction City. However, rumor is both Treaster and Joint have dropped to 55 lbs.

If that is the case, that leaves the District 2 boys to battle it out to see who can qualify and have a shot to claim four state medals. Unfortunately some really good kids will not make it to state. In District 2 alone you have Ayala - WWC, Terrill and Shaw - Ark City, Grantham and Murphy - Maize, Spexarth - Wichita Greater Gold, Guyer - Andover, and Cassaboom - Winfield. A group of good kids, that on any given day, anyone can beat the other. No wonder Kansas wrestlers are so tough!
