Just a small breakdown of the regionals. We definitely need a push for the super regionals, but not regionals that are split East/West. There were multiple wrestlers that were left home that could of competed for a medal this weekend. I know that most people are gonna to say they dont have the school funds needed for travel. Then fundraise for it. Something has to change. This is getting kind of ridiculous.
(Also these stats are not 100% accurate due to percentage round ups. And I didnt want to do the math on the percentages also)
Norton
6 top 15 teams (40%)
32/84 placers (38%)
12/28 finalists (42.8%)
7/14 champions (50%)
Russell
6 top 15 teams (40%)
26/84 placers (30.9%)
8/28 finalists (28.5%)
4/14 champions (28.5%)
Council Grove
3 top 15 teams (20%)
16/84 placers (19%)
5/28 finalists (17.8%)
3/14 champions (21.4%)
Eureka Regional
0 top 15 teams (0%)
10/84 placers (11.9%)
3/28 finalists (10.7%)
0/14 champions (0%)
Interesting. What would be your suggestion on how to split up the super regionals?
Also, sort of a hypothetical question here, but say a team can't come up with the necessary funding (even after fundraisers) needed to travel for one of the super regional locations, how would that get addressed?
I do think this is an interesting topic of discussion.
