Each year there has been growth in the number of girls who initially go out for wrestling. This year I believe the number was over 80. If it is to truly grow, the KSHSAA membership needs to setup an ALL CLASS GIRLS STATE tournament starting with 7 weight classes used in international competition until growth commands more. There will be no true growth in this sport in Kansas until we make it a gender specific sport. Make the goal a total number of girls participating and not schools. Coops would make sense until it grows.
