Westfahl, whether I wrestled in Wichita or not, I still like the Hays format much better. In Hays, they don't wrestle on ice, team scores are kept, weigh-ins are quicker & more efficient so wrestlers don't have to eat cold cereal on the cold floor, table workers "know" wrestling, cheerleaders cheer on matside and not just take up space, and the best wrestlers in the state are showcased on one mat in the finals.

Here is what the KWCA coaches will be voting on by March 4th for next year.

Option #1 - Leave the state tournament in the same sites with the same groupings.
Option #2 - Leave the groupings as they are, but seek different sites.
Option #3 - Change the groupings as well as seek different sites.
Option #4 - Seek individual sites for each classifciation's state tournament which may include high schools as host sites.

Again, my vote is #3
