Our numbers are dropping at Sr. Nationals too. And that is folkstyle. CJ is the last to place high and guess what he did summer wrestling or FS to get to that level Just ask him. How do you think he got so good on his feet. Alot of that was a result of wrestling so much freestyle. Almost every kid you want the state to take credit for wrestled alot in the summer. It's just simple math. If you think KS kids can wrestle 4 months a year, (that is high school plus a few other extra tournaments) and compete with kids in other states wrestling 10 months a year you are mistaken.
I too want all kids in the room. I never said it didn't. but your comment about summer wrestling is very close minded in my opinion.
