I suggested the idea in the Manhattan topic. I think it can have the effect of possibly keeping a few more kids involved in the sport at schools that have a lot of talent. It might also have the effect of giving a little incentive for some athletes not to go to weight loss extremes. If some more in-season tournaments would offer the same type of opportunity to have more than one wrestler from a school in the same weight class that would help too. A high school team's second wrestler at the weight class would be experiencing a better level of competition during the year. In the Manhattan topic, I compared it to track in the shot put event where one school could have a 61 foot thrower and a 60 foot thrower. Both of those athletes could compete at the State high school meet from the same school. It would be good if high school wrestling could allow that too.
