just want to share something for this event. last year my son wrestled at 100 during the regular season. i put him in before thinking about it at 105. after practicing 4 days one week and 3 the next he was weighing 97lbs. he weighed in at 97 wrestling 105. he lost 7 matches all season. he was 3 and 5 at these duals. so before you sign your son up just think about that. most of the kids my son wrestled were cutting several pounds and by the time they wrestled were about 10 lbs heavier. i will not make that mistake again. im not saying you have to cut weight but i see a ton of talented kids on this list and think if we get the right kids at the right weights kansas teams can do very well. last year we were real close to having 2 teams in the final 4. i think we could do that this year with the talent we have signed up. i know not all kids are signed up yet. several kids will not be going due to injuries. just think about this when you finalize where you want your kid to wrestle. yes this is a fun event but if your winning it makes it even better. last year we saw teams from missouri, illinois, minnesota, nebraska, south dakota, ohio and probably others. one of the toughest events we have ever been to. the boys get to stay in rooms together and meet new friends. parents and coaches get to hang out and talk friendly. yes even beeson lol. sorry chad had to throw your name in there.
