In my opinion, I hate it when kids "walk" to state. Why kind of competition are they getting? No matter what weight they are at. It ticks me off when they show the medal and say they placed, well ya, because you only had 1,2,3 etc. other people in your bracket. As for the elementary divison, look at the girls wrestling. My daughter wrestles at 10 and under 76lbs., but at girls tournaments she may have to wrestle a 12 year old. Does that bother me, no. Because it is making her better. Just my opinion.
