Plenty of discussion on this topic in the past and rightfully so.

Many of the top wrestling states have Kids state with a High School Division. They only allow 8th graders and under in the Kids divisions. I have no problem with a high school non-placer to wrestle in the Kids divisions but firmly believe that a high school state placer and especially a high school state champion should wrestle in the high school division, like they have all year long.

I find it surprising and strange that a high school state champion would wrestle in a lower division.
