Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School WINTER STORM & STATE TOURN.

What happens if this winter storm coming through wednesday and thursday affects teams from being able to make it to their respective state tournament sites, mainly the 3A & 4A tournaments?

I have an email and voicemail in to the 321a tournament director. If I hear back from him I'll be sure to post his response as soon as possible.

Western Kansas folk know how to drive. They would think it a challenge even if I-70 was closed, to find another way to Hays or Salina.

Don't they all drive their tractors to Hays anyway?

Can they have the tourney on Sat-Sun or is that a "no-no?"

Nope, horse and buggy is the primary mode of transportation out to Hays, so they'll have to hook up the sled instead of the buggy.

But I'll be willing to make drop offs at all the State Tournaments in my car. You'll just have to put up with my co-pilot...

Sunday is out there is already another Tournament scheduled for the Bi that day.

This is what all High School s in Kansas received today.

The KSHSAA continues to monitor the potential for a winter storm on Wednesday and Thursday. At this time, the KSHSAA plans to follow the current state wrestling schedule. Any changes to the schedule will be posted on the KSHSAA web-site, posted on twitter, and sent out to our member schools via email. We ask that everyone please plan accordingly for safe travel.

Here is the link to the KSHSAA page where I assume they would post any new updates: http://www.kshsaa.org/Public/Wrestling/Main.cfm

I realize that rescheduling the state tournaments would be a major headache, but what is the kshsaa thinking? they are predicting 12 to 18 inches of snow with freezing drizzle, lets think about the safety of the student athletes and all the family and friends traveling in these conditions plus the mess with that kind of snow getting in and around the bicentenial center, and the city of salina.

The school districts may not allow teams to travel

The Marion wrestlers are leaving this morning.

Radar has snow flying already in southern and south central part of the state.

Silver Lake is leaving this morning.

Colby is leaving in about two hours.

Oakley is leaving this morning. Also have heard that other NW Ks schools are doing the same.

Goodland is hitting the road at 8:00 am mountain time.

I left on Monday morning and made it the 15 miles but still nobody here. Just kidding, good luck and be careful

How do you plan for safe travel in a blizzard,it would be nice to hear from kshsaa, and let us know what there thinking,before we drive 300 miles in a blizzard.
