these "irresponsible" posts are not going to disrupt any student athletes thoughts about finals. They are mostly posted by old guys like me who remember the fun and joy of competition.
The young athletes that I see have more on their minds than who is going to be where or what weight...
But you are right this is a team contest- who do you think will win the team title this year? Oh wait, it will take some individuals to compete to make it happen so lets wait on that also.
