As a parent of a 4A wrestler that I hope will wrestle at state this year I think the whole Salina thing stinks. It’s not about crowds or atmosphere. Last year my son was not only lucky enough to win but we were present when my brother’s son Tim won a championship at 6A. We got to watch fellow freshman, good friend, workout partner, and teammate Romero win a championship at 6A. We were present when Tristin teammate and workout partner won his third championship at 5A. We were there when Josh won his 4th; and Joe won his 2nd championship at 5A. This year we won’t see Romero go for two, Tristin win his 4th, and a lot of other great competitors and matches. 6A and 5A will miss some great matches and wrestlers too. This 123A, 4A, 5A, and 6A debate is silly whatever A your kid is in it’s the best or toughest, fact is there are tough kids in all classes. Yea I didn’t like walking in flooded bathrooms or dealing with nasty security people. If I want atmosphere I can go to a fine restaurant if I want a crowd I can go to the mall. But I like to watch great wrestling and great wrestlers and I can’t help but feel that by going to Salina I’ll be missing a lot of both.
