Adding men's and women's wrestling at the same time might be the answer to establishing D1 wrestling in Kansas. The hold back on that is how to grab interest in women's wrestling. Add women's wrestling to the high schools. I often joked with my son that as soon as he graduated and had some free time on my hands, I was going to pursue adding high school girls wrestling. What a wonderful sport it has been for our young men, why not let young women enjoy the same experience. The only venue now for HS girls is to join the boy's team or kid's clubs and have to wrestle boys. Those that stick it out then are experienced enough to wrestle in college. If the state of Kansas wants to make an impact on college wrestling, add girl's wrestling to our HS programs and give our D1 colleges the opportunity to add both programs and have the home grown athletes to support it. Girls HS wrestling could be a fall or spring sport as to not conflict with boys.
