The season is too long. Some go from October 1 to March 31. That's 2 months longer than the HS season! Ok for some kids but not all of them.
I'd like to see us hold kid's state in early to mid-Feb. . . ending just before HS Regionals and state.
Then in early March hold a USAWKS sanctioned HS Grand State championships. Then move on to freestyle if you need/want more and represent Kansas nationwide.
Then we could go watch our Kansas Native college wrestlers at conference championships and NCAA championships as well, instead of going to Subs, Dist's, and kid state all of March.
