One of the arguments against having a 6 and under division for state is that the kids can make it at 8 under. Take a look at the weights of the kids that make it. Most of the 40# kids are probably wrestling some 6 year olds to get there. The kids with very little chance are the 52+ kids. Almost all of them will be wrestling older more developed kids. 6 and under state at Ottawa was a great event, and I am glad it is offered, but it is not a substitute for State. The young kids work their butts off all year, and it is a shame that they aren't given the same opportunity as the older kids. How many older kids wrestle for a club for 2 or 3 weeks after the Jr High program is over and then have the opportunity to make it to state? In our club it was over half the kids that made state. Why is their 3 week involvement in the club rewarded more than the 6U kids work in the club for over 4 months? It is time to add 6U to the State tourney.
