Kansas had a great group of wrestlers at Iowa and i can say the place was great to hold it, But it was ran worse than anything I have ever saw and I have been to a lot ot meets in the last eighteen years. Talk to any coach you can that was there and they will tell you the same thing. one of my wrestlers started on mat 15 in the morrning and it was over at noon, they came back at 6 to wrestle again and he was to wrestle on matt 9 match 9015 there were all the boys in the same age group waiting along with there coaches and then they came along and told us theses matches were being moved to matt 7, so every one moved to matt 7 now this was about 7 at night, at 9 oclock the first boy in the 140 weight group wrestled, how can you warm up for two hours thinking your up next or at lease your told that.after that I went down to the 8 and under where one of our kids were going to wrestle and when he was up a man came over and told us they were moving the match to a diffent matt, so we moved and after we got to this matt it was being used and so he told us lets go bach to matt 1.where we started. I have been thinking alday and any body that has ever put on a meet knows this should never happen, you have to remember this in a national tournament. All the coaches that were upset said that it was better than last year but they should take notes how Kansas ran it when they had it and they wish it was back in kansas, that made me feel good and I hope any body that was there writes a letter here and mabe someone that was in charge from Iowa will read it and change things.
