This is what we have to work with. When a wrestler qualifies for State, regardless of their record, regardless of their High School classification, regardless of whatever else, then they should be proud of their accomplishment. To come on this forum and downplay what they have achieved is not doing the wrestling community any favors.

I been on forums in other states, and lived IN & OH and know people in the community. They would be just offended as you are if somebody tried to suggest to increase the number of classes and affect generate more state qualifiers, state placers and state champions. They would say you are watering down are sport, decreasing the competition level and downplaying the achievements that are kids have acquired. I thinks its ironic that their reaction is similar. Instead of getting offended, maybe we should have an open mind and have a peaceful debate about the pros and cons of each situation.

I'm not criticizing any kids achievement has done in the past, but we should try to open our minds to new ideas that may or may not improve wrestling in Kansas. I think we get stuck doing the same thing we've always done and think thats the best way.

I'd like to see you're 5 best reason why the class system that exists currently is so good or fair.
