it is not more difficult to qualify in 123a it just takes longer half the kids in there don't belong so yes it does take longer to know if your going to state but not harder there is only 2 people in 123a that could even compete with the top kids from bigger divsions dang wish i could have wrestled in 123a
I just got done looking at the Kid's State Results for 2009, and in nearly every weight of the high school ages of 14 or 16-and-under there was at least one wrestler who hails from a 321A school. Many weights had multiple placers from 321A schools. As this is one of the only ways to measure the parity in the classes it appeared to me that no class had an overwhelming advantage in terms of placers.
