You have to remember that a lot of states have different rules about matches than Kansas. In the example of the Iowa kid who won 60 matches his senior year, his team's schedule included dual meet tournaments every week of the season. So if you figure eight tournaments with five matches in each, that's 40 right there. Then you add a regular dual meet schedule, there's probably 10 more, then add in that Iowa has a Sectional tournament (2-3 matches) and a District tournament (2 matches) and State (4 matches), getting to 60 anymore isn't difficult up there.

That's a lot of matches, but it's becoming more common.
