Congrats to ALL the wrestlers who represented your schools and communities in what truly was an exciting dual! Great wrestling, great sportsmanship, good job!
Thanks to everyone who helped. . .the list is very long!
The small schools avenged last year's loss to the big schools. The "Big School vs. Small School" duals the last two years have not proven that wrestling is better in one or the other. What it has shown is that there is great wrestling at ALL levels of Kansas schools because the duals have been so close. This says a lot about how diverse and widespread the sport is throughout our state. Wrestling in Kansas is strong in big towns and small towns, rural and urban, from West to East, and North to South.
