I think that this is a very tough tournament and would be a great opportunity for many talented student athletes from our state to showcase their talents. On the other hand it makes perfect sense why there are no Kansas teams on the list. For one no public school's athletic budget could afford this trip. Two school is very important and a trip like this calls for a lot of preparation along with missing many days of class (depending on the date of the tournament). Three there are many liability issues and concerns with a trip like this. I see a trip like this being great if it is not during the Kansas High School wrestling season. Your team and wrestlers are working towards winning a state championship in Kansas, so wrestling against your competition in that state during that season is important.
