response to shawnbudke. no pun intended.

1st- rules are rules. These rules currently have been in effect for quite some time now and are still representative of the previous.


2ND- WHAT DO YOU THINK CADET AND JUNIOR DUALS ARE? Kansas competes in these events every year. These are individual and team growing experiences. I also recall another dual tournament in Colorado set up and represented by many great wrestlers in the state.

3rd- Folkstyle may pay for college (partial for most) but if you look at the guys from Kansas that were ever worth a crap in college. I would say 95% of them seemed to have competed in Freestyle/Greco competition while in high school. Fargo is crawling with college coaches.
