As a former Kansas wrestler now experiencing South Dakota's State tournament as a fan/future coach, the Kansas state tournament set up needs to change.

South Dakota still mainly uses AAU for their youth wrestling tournaments and clubs compared to USA Wrestling. Yet, SD is able to figure out a way to move both state tournaments to the same venue AND within the next year or two add in a state dual tournament.

I understand logistics behind moving all state tournaments into one venue are complex and difficult, but it needs to happen! Too many great wrestling matches are being missed by passionate fans, coaches, and wrestlers. Kansas needs to make this happen and help the sport thrive in the state!
