Let me start off by stating this rule change would affect my son. That said, I would have to agree with Cokeley, if Kansas wants to add a high school division to KIDS state, we should go with Junior and Cadet divisions. The development gap physically between freshman and seniors is to great, there will be very few freshmen that will even qualify for state if we go this route. I understand that a lot of people out there want to see the great match-ups that could happen, but not a lot of those great match-ups would involve freshman anyway. So add a 18U take away 16U but I feel we should leave 14U the way it is.
Something I have never understood is why we dont use the same age and weight classifications as USA wrestling?
