Travis,
The exemption you referred to still exists, but it is very limited in scope. Here is the exact text of the rule:
All Junior High Wrestlers that were participating in a school affiliated (KSHSAA) wrestling
program on the same day as a qualifier, will be permitted to wrestle in the next level
tournament.
Since a national tournament would not be a school affiliated (KSHSAA) wrestling program, this provision would not be applicable.
