I think KSHAA rewards mediocrity for all Kansas sports by giving it 4 classifications. In wrestling, 4 state champs in every weight class is a joke. KS ranks 32nd in population. California has 34 million people and one state champ per weight class. New York, 19 million and one state champ per weight class. KS has about 2.7 million people. KS gives a state champ to every 675,000 residents. If California did that they would have 50 states champs per weight class. So those of you who are worrying about a tough team moving into your classification need to keep it all in perspective. If I were in charge there would be one state champ per weight class and one team champ in KS.
Nice to see your return to idiocracy. If I am not mistaken, there were a few kansas kids that beat california state champions? not bad for a state that has 4 classifications. Not only did they beat them but I believe Curtis Chenoweth a State Runner-up even majored one of them. Perhaps he can elaborate on this some more. A state that lives in mediocracy sure did place VERY well in Senior Nationals, seventh I believe? Some things never change, such as your IQ for starters.
