Honestly Coach Johnson,
I cannot tell you why other states do what they do. But I do know that Kansas as a wrestling sate has done very well in the last 10 years and we are only getting better. I don't really think that allowing freshman to wrestle in kids has any effect as far as making us a better state in wrestling, but I do know as a wrestler myself, any extra opporutnity for competition that I got I would take, if that meant wrestling an extra year of kids after my freshman year then so be it.
