It is my understanding from these posts that you are not allowed to wrestle up in age brackets. It doesn't take a lot of common sense to see why. Look at the 10 and under 52 pound bracket, for example. There are only 8 wrestlers in the state bracket. There are a tremendous number of 8 and under 52 pounders who did not make it to state because they had packed brackets and were beat out at subs or districts. I remember as a kid seeing several of my buddies place at national tournaments or state tournaments with only 4 people in their bracket while I was slugging it out in 16 man brackets. That was the advantage they had in being 14 and weighing 80 pounds (or whatever it was). I bet there are a lot of 8th graders out there who would love to wrestle 103 in high school and try to be the first 5 time state champion in Kansas history.

If a rule was broken in 2007, the question is what to do about it now? Maybe there is an explanation. Whatever the case, it looks like the kid may be the first 3 time 14 and under medalist.

I think KansasBoy has a legitimate concern.
