We have five or six high school wrestlers who wrestled for our club at Subs at Pittsburgh this weekend. At least one is 16 & under. I really like every one of them, and I am glad they are getting the chance to wrestle and they are very positive influences for our younger wrestlers. We are definitely a better club because they are participating now.

I just wish we could experience at Districts and the State tournament what we had at Subs in Pittsburgh today. I believe we had nine full mats going. I could be wrong but I don't believe that anyone had to wrestle on a smaller mat. To me the waits between matches seemed pretty reasonable too. Maybe someone else had a different experience but I don't think we had a wait over 90 minutes for any of my son's matches.
I think our youth wrestlers who have made it this far deserve full mats and reasonable waits between matches at District and State. I just wish we could make that happen somehow and still have room for the older high school wrestlers who want to participate.
