Where the Kansas and Iowa plan will differ, greatly, is the descent component. Alan Beste, the Iowa High School Activities Association counterpart to our KSHSAA Rick Bowden, has set in on most of the Kansas Weight Control Committee meetings. He has also been very helpful and enlightening due to Iowa's long experience in using hydration and fat testing. I think I can safely say that he is distressed about the amount of work the descent plan is going to cause for the Iowa coaches.
