If he was the true number one seed, and is the best wrestler in the bracket it shouldn't really matter where he gets seeded. He should be able to beat anybody in his path.

Look no further than 120lbs. A nationally ranked state champ with a 36-2 record last year seeded third. In this weight a state qualifier was seeded first because he beat the two seed who is a state champ. He beat him in this tournament last year. 12 months of wrestling has happened since then.

The practice of using your tournament's placings as a high seeding critieria is STUPID!! Especially when you 25% of the teams weren't there last year. Wake up folks! The goal is to win state not to win the Gardner Invitational! So you win state and get penalized a year later for not having wrestled at this tournament?

It is nothing less than embarassing to Kansas wrestling. We have teams from five states at this tournament and we had Dumb and Dumber seed it.
