I agree with Talkwrestle. Once the father explained the situation I believe it should of been left alone. I can understand how the father believed the kid was still a novice. And I to ask, if a kid won a C or D pool (Park Hill had some) where does he/she fit?? No hard, fast rules, I believe most coaches and parents will do whats right once the issue is explained to them. And, let the poor kid keep the medal. In the thread on Southern Plains we talk about increasing participation. I hope this doesn't discourage this parent from keeping his kid in the sport. He really impressed me by coming forward and I believe will be a good asset to the sport in Kansas.
