I believe the topic is regarding the Metro Classic and the wrestler's in the Kansas City Metropolitan area and not all of "Kansas kids" .
Providing the agreed upon range has not changed, the range on the metro area is eliptical with Kansas being given 75 miles from the center to Kansas City and Missouri being given 50 miles.
The Kansas team which you noted has:
112 lbs. - Altman - Derby
119 lbs. - Bahe - Goodland
125 lbs. - Elliott - Wichita
130 lbs. - Deshazer - Wichita
135 lbs. - Baldridge - Wichita
140 lbs. - Adcock - Wichita
145 lbs. - Cornejo - Wichita
152 lbs. - Grater - Clay Center
171 lbs. - Sutton-Kearn - Concordia
215 lbs. - Jacob Marrs - Clay Center
Ten of the fourteen (71 %) wrestlers who participated on the Kansas team were not from the Metro area.
