There was a time when the Classics was a much more prestigious tournament and being in the parade of champions as a wrestler meant a lot more than it does now. It's really been going downhill since the move to the horse barn. There are still some top caliber wrestlers there, but not as many as there used to be. It really should be one of the premier folkstyle tournaments in the region bringing in top wrestlers not only from Kansas but Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas. Hopefully it will get bigger and tougher in the years to come with the move to Hartman Arena.
