By the way the numbers say most of the HS placers are being run out of the Kids series not moving them up.... Is this the goal? To shame kids from participating in the Kids series? Over half of all 9th graders that placed at HS state are sitting this year out of the kids series....
MANY OF THE BEST WRESTLERS ARE IN COLORADO COMPETING THIS WEEKEND. THREE WEEKS FOR THE STATE SERIES IS ABSURDLY LONG FOR MOST OF THE HS WRESTLERS. ELIMINATE SUBS AND MAYBE EVEN DISTRICTS..
