After looking at the numbers this morning, I think that the High School Division could combine D1/D4, D2/D3 (or even D1/D3, D2/D4) and have a single qualifying tournament for Kids' State. At least that way, more wrestlers will have to wrestle their way into the State bracket. This year's totals from Track Wrestling:
D1 N 105 (Avg 6.5 per weight class)
D1 S 80 (5.0)
D2 N 105 (6.5)
D2 S 53 (3.3)
D3 E 69 (4.3)
D3 W 58 (3.6)
D4 N 49 (3.1)
D4 S 40 (2.5)
Combining D1/D4 totals (Avg of 17.1)
Combining D2/D3 totals (Avg of 17.8)
I realize that some brackets would be much larger than others and this would become a two day event. The best scenario would be to get more participation from the High School kids. There are a lot of U14 Freshmen who choose to wrestle the U14 division which also waters the numbers down. That is their choice and in many cases they probably have to wrestle a lot harder to make it through to Districts than they would if they were in the HS Division.
