In case you don't know the exact rule, here it is direct from the KSHSAA Handbook.

"..Sec. 4: Any KSHSAA member school desiring to host an
out-of-state member school or to participate in an out-of-state
activity shall limit travel distance in dual competition (two
schools) so it shall not exceed 500 road miles of the border
(perimeter) of the state of Kansas. KSHSAA member schools
desiring to host or participate in a multiple-interscholastic
event (three or more schools) involving an out-of-state school(s)
shall be limited to those within 500 road miles of the border
(perimeter) of the state of Kansas.
Each event must be approved by the KSHSAA and the
out-of-state high school’s association. Such approval must
be initiated by the host member school not later than 30
days prior to the date of the activity. Application forms are
provided by the KSHSAA or the out-of-state high school’s
association.
EXCEPTION: The Executive Board may approve interstate
activities for individual schools when mileage is in excess
of those stated provided the travel distance is less than for
a similar event in Kansas.
When a KSHSAA member school competes with an outof-
state school, it may not waive or exceed any KSHSAA
standards."

If you read the rules it says Kansas' Perimeter, not where your town is. So if you wish you may now expand your scope to include various other tournaments you didn't think you could attend.

One last thing I must think about while typing this is, if you think we are so far behind due to our travel restrictions, why would we want to travel to the Ironman or Beast of the East just so we can go 0-2 because we're not near good enough to be there?
