If you don't like the Outstanding Wrestler award then don't participate in tournaments that offer it. I do think that a fastest pin award in a fair way to offer something special. Something that can be quantitated.
As far as "what do I tell my kid". My son didn't even know there was an OW award. If I would have made a big deal about it(I'm not saying anyone did) then he might have wanted it.
I would agree that D.Lee was a great little wrestler. My son, E. VanAnne, lost to him in the finals. It was a great match and he is looking forward to meeting up with him again in the future.
