Maybe if everyone had bags of cash like some eastern KS schools, we'd travel all over the world too...(just kidding, of course.)
I think wrestling out of state teams can be highly overrated. I remember last year, Platte County came to Highland Park ranked 14th in the country, and Manhattan beat them pretty handily. Sure they were a great team, but I'll take Kansas wrestling over any neighboring state, except for maybe Oklahoma.
Perhaps the reason Western Kansas teams don't travel to Lee's Summit, etc. is because it's a long, long, long way, and they know they can get equally tough competition in their own back yard.
