Not if you are a middle school kid. That is why this should not have been shoved through so irresponsibly. This should have been thought out and voted on. Had it been done by the rules, it could have been amended to include the middle school kids.
I'm just curious why no one on the executive committee has the stones to try to defend this decisions.
Answer: They are wrong and they know they are wrong.

As an older man my stones are not what they once were however I do still have them. As I stated at the District II seeding meeting, this was a rush decision which I readily take responsibility for. District II has ten (10) wrestlers participating on the Rocky Mountain Dual Team. The District II Director and the two Assistants Directors made the decision to allow the wrestlers to participate in the duals based on a presentation by the Executive Director. As you will recall, there was discussion at the District II meeting and the decision was made to allow the high school division to wrestle in an open tournament at their respective sub-district tournament. In Districts II and III the High School Division only will determine the qualifiers to the USAW Kansas Kids State Championship Tournament at their respective District Tournaments.
If the District II youth were not participating on a dual team against several other states dual teams and were only participating in the Open Tournament I would not have supported this decision. The dual team representing Team Kansas is the two or three time defending champion.
I am available to answer any further questions.
