Thanks...

Are there going to be challenge matches?

Yes. As stated above, the challengers are in parentheses. The second team will have a few positional wrestle offs but does not have the same qualifying criteria. I have tried to fill that second roster with the best available wrestlers.

Challenge matches will take place at the one day camp in Wichita on June 23rd. We could still use another 170. We are taking two teams to OKC...

Updates to come!

I see some weights have three wrestlers listed. What will happen with the third wrestler if Kansas is taking two teams?

The maximum roster allows for 24 spots on each team. With 15 weights, that gives us 9 weights to be two deep on a team. At some weights we will be two deep on both teams. With three wrestlers, one team will be two deep with the other wrestler taking all the matches for the other team. The criteria will be followed to fill the first team unless a spot is empty or depth is needed. The second team looks very solid and has many Cadets, which will help develop our future teams.

We are 10 days away from travel day to Wichita!!
