I live in western kansas and i have no problem with the weigh in time. I don't work in an office, school, farm, and I don't own my own business. I guess I have an understanding employer. We've all known for 6 months when state wrestling was. If you plan ahead for things I don't think 1 day is going to make or break anyone. Put a little extra money away here and there. I go in early some times and stay late some times and I throw in some Saturdays. We're taking the whole day off and arriving at 3 to 3:30 so we can get weighed in and go eat a decent meal then go to our room and relax. Without having to rush through the entire weekend. I've read the posts on here and I don't see anyone from western, southwestern or northwestern kansas all fired up about the weigh in times. Looks like people that are cutting weight, are trying to use us as scapegoats. I went to the state body meeting and there was no complaining about the weigh in time then!!!! Good Luck to all wrestlers over the next two weeks. Parents make some sacrifices for your children. Think of them and not yourself all the time.
