So would the 4A schools all have wrestling? In the present format there were 64 4A schools but only 60 had wrestling... Just wondering if some 321A schools could be 4A for wrestling??

That is one place we as a state have failed. We the wrestling community should be working with fans and parents in those districts that don't have wrestling to establish programs. It is inexcusable for a 4A school not to have wrestling.

God I hope they adopt this. Would love to stay 5A for Jake's last year.

Four state champions is KS is WAY too many! Two seems more realistic, especially after attending a few duals this year where there are 6A schools that can't even fill a lineup.

Been saying this for years. Combine 6A and 5A, then throw the rest in another class. Make it mean something.
