I have to agree with mawcoach these kids should not now be allowed to come back and take a spot at the districts. That's not to punish them in anyway but the walk-on rule was established for kids still participating in junior high now middle school. To my knowledge it hasn't been used in years and probably should be eliminated. Rather than worry about these high school kids who did have an opportunity to participate in either the subs or the national tournament, I would worry about all those openings in the younger age groups. While I don't have any numbers to back this up, in scanning the D2 results it appears to me that we have a far lesser number of wrestlers in the 12U, 10U and 8U ages. Certainly, we have fewer than the late 80's early 90's. This should be a warning sign for our sport. If I'm right, and the numbers are continuing to fall as in years past we have a HUGE problem and we better get to addressing it.
