State Freestyle/Greco Championships
Rose Hill High School
104 N. Rose Hill Rd.
Rose Hill KS 67133

When can we expect the details to be posted so we can make plans??

This tournament is on saturday and sunday? Greco in the evening on Saturday? what time will weigh ins be on saturday?

The email I recieved from Coach Terrell said

"We just had our meeting today and I don’t have the specifics yet but we are running the bigger boys (both styles) on Saturday and the smaller boys (both styles on Sunday. I hope this helps."

Not the answer that I wanted but that is what he said.

Does anyone know who the committee is that made this decision and how they reached it? Who came up with the date and why is it in the middle of high school and college graduations? I know last year it went long but why do we have to go to a Saturday Sunday instead of a Friday night weigh-in with a couple of rounds of greco and finish Freestyle on Saturday. I think we are making it harder to wrestle Freestyle and Greco.

I think a saturday pm weigh in and some greco saturday night then freestyle all day sunday is a good idea, maybe some can then do both - graduate and freestyle - we would...but I think it is riculous not to have a schedule for what should be a big tournament for these kids already lined out... there is no "good" weekend in may to have anything that is a simple fact of education...of course in my opinion this all goes back to KSHSAA prohibiting the vast majority of potential coaches from having anything to do with freestyle/greco

why are the juniors wrestling on sunday this year???? dumb move . This was a bad weekend to have a state tournament with graduation. Why not have our tournament the same weekend as missouri that way it wont interfere with graduation.

I was told the juniors are wrestling on Sat. Please post the actual dates my son does graduate that weekend and I don't want to send out invites if he will be wrestling instead! Yes I'm allowing him to make that decision and he says he would rather wrestle if he has to choose.

Kansas Freestyle/Greco-Roman State Championships

Rose Hill High School

Saturday, May 14
Bantam, Intermediate, Novice, Schoolboy/girl

Sunday, May 15
Cadet, Junior

Exact times and other details to be announced in the very near future!

I appreciate all that everyone does to put on a tournament and I know it takes time, and I am volunteering to help, but when can we expect details on the State Freestyle and Greco Tournament. I know it is at Rose Hill High School, I know Schoolboy and below are on May 14 and Cadet and Juniors are on May 15th but what time is weigh-in, are they doing remote weigh-in like in the past, are they using USA Wrestling Weight Classes for all age groups or are they doing something different for the younger kids? What does it cost to enter, when are entries due? Will it cost for spectator, are they having concessions can we bring food into the gym? In other words when are we going to get a flyer and contact information, not just a link to Trackwrestling to register?

I greatly appreciate the release of the flyer. Now a question, do you register by weight, or not?? And, if you do not make weight, can you just move up, and is there a cost?? Finally, why don't you release the wrestler list, USA Nationals does, what is the big deal????

Finally, I think the tournament was well ran last year, just too small of place for the number of kids. My complaint is information.

Why is there no morning weigh-in at Rose Hill?

I believe they are adding a sunday morning weigh in, but I guess I ahven't heard anyone confirm it.

I will let you coaches decide! We have two possibilities, either try to squeeze 6 hours out during the State FS/GR tourney or hold a clinic on next Sunday, May 1st!

Doing it in Rosehill would require a real late evening perhaps on Saturday on May 14th and perhaps early May 15th. Attendees might be asked to miss a few matches of the tournament in order to make it work. (possible motel stay Saturday night in Rosehill)

If we held it May 1 we would eliminate the conflicts of the tournament. But May 1st is one of the scheduled weekends for Regional training centers! The clinic would probably be held in Ottawa, starting about 11 am!!

My preference is May 1st but we need to decide quickly!

Do you have to make weight, or do you just go up a weight?? I assume it will be like last year and you just go up.

What are the rules on what singlets you can wear?

Richard do you have these other details, exact times yet or did I just miss them somewhere?

Thanks Kit I just didnt see it.

Is the state tournament still on?

With 55 hours left we have just 57 wrestlers. At what point do we throw in the towel? I don't want to spend $100 on fuel for none to two matches. This is crazy.
