Why, if it is an individual sport, do they keep team scores?
Because they are representing a school. As you have said, it is difficult if not impossible for some to understand........sooooooooooooooo let me ask you this, why do they keep individual win/loss records?
Everyone posting is 100% right. Wrestling is both a team and an individual sport.
While the gist of your point is true, the only persons keeping track of win/loss records other than for seeding purposes each year, is the KWCA, I believe. To my knowledge KSHSAA doesn't recognize individual records.
