beeson, no i did not follow through with the certified letter due by july 31st. i thought that was alot of redtape to get nothing done. in the minutes from september, i seen a letter proposing to let wrestlers wrestle up in weight or age. no motion was made. why is that? since it was the last page or discussion of that day,i felt like the executive council was ready to call it a day. thats fine but hear me out here. I talked to several people in charge about this. at one point, i was told the board would not change the weight limit for 2 or 3 kids. i was told it would cause the state series to last longer. i also viewed posts where people mentioned not wanting to watch heavies roll around on a mat was a waste of time. and people just wanted a free medal. so yes i did see that sending a letter to ned was a waste of my time.. my son will have a chance this year to compete and go to state if he makes it. but i want to see a change to the policies. kids are bigger now. america has an obesity problem. i think if a kid weighs so much he doesnt have fair chance to cut weight, he should be able to move up an age division. my son started the season last year at 150 lbs. do you think this kid could cut 25 lbs? 8 and unders weight limit should of been amended last year. it does not matter for me personally anymore. but we need to look out for the other kids and parents who are putting their kids in wrestling over an overweight issue. wrestling has did alot for my son. i just felt he got done wrong sitting at state watching and not competing.
