They would if state was wrestled this weekend. May need to look at shorting the season.

Wait you want to cut a full 3 weeks off the current kids wrestling season, just so a couple of kids can go watch the NCAAs?
Ok well that would push the Kids State tournament to this weekend which means District tournaments would be on the same weekend as High School State, and Sub-Distrcts would be the weekend of High School Regionals. Perhaps we should just finish the season the 2nd weekend in February. That would amount to 6-7 regular tournaments and then straight into State qualifying. I guess its not important for the kids to watch their high school counterparts and skip right over to attending the NCAA tournament, which most kids federation level competitors in Kansas do not do regardless of when they are held.
And this is to say nothing of the notion of "get the kids more mat time" which is a lot more difficult if we shorten the season as you propose.
