Tanner Cody is an outstanding wrestler. He is in the unfortunate position of being in a loaded room. Bishop Carroll, Goddard, Ark City, St. Thomas Aquinas have all had similar cases in the past where excellent wrestlers have been relegated to JV status and then became state champs or placers. This has also happened quite a bit at the NCAA level (look at the most recent WIN magazine article regarding this)
Also, there are many outstanding varsity wrestlers not wrestling their natural weights because of the competition in the room. That's the nature of the beast.
