From a competitors view, i was upset seeing 4a move to salina, i could no longer walk 50 feet and watch my freinds from other high schools compete, and coaches that helped trained me in the summers couldn't watch me or other kids they have helped. Its time to unite....No high school senior should be forced to wrestle possibly his last matches in a HS gym...thats just horrible

After watching the 456a wrestling for 12 years in wichita and seeing the 321a state in hays the last 3 years, Im not that overly impressed with the crowd. Dont get me wrong its a cool atmosphere. but I think the reason some many small schools love it cause it is small. They pack around 5,000 in hays for the finals? (just a guess) and in wichita it was probabbly close to double that. Could you imagine combining the two together. So many people want to complain that it would be to crowded. Get over it, sacrfice a little. Coming from someone that wrestled in the finals in wichita, that stage and atmosphere is amamzing, but if you add another 5000 people and a whole another state tourney, It improves ten-fold.

The reason Topeka does not host the Kansas State Tourney, is because of the Circus that comes to town every year on that same weekend. Perhaps the Board should look into another idea, perhaps allowing more time after regionals to state, allowing two weeks...perhaps that would free up the Expo Centre and make it available

Just my thoughts.........
