I think we may need to rethink our scheduling for freestyle and greco specifically for the high school aged kids. It would be great to start our international style season directly after high school state, we lose a lot of kids with the 3 week kids state folkstyle qualifying and series and also our seniors don't compete in that. We have our state freestyle and greco tourney almost a month past our neighbors and then scramble to get our teams together. There is no excuse for not having a loaded Kansas team at all level of the national duals.
I really hope that everyone reads this post. There are some that have made this point every year. There is no doubt that Kansas freestyle and greco wrestling suffers by extending the folkstyle season for High School wrestlers so that they can compete against 7th and 8th graders. How does that improve their skills again?
