I do not have kids in wretling, nor grandkids, but read with interest the postings here. I one year traveled 5000 miles in the State of Kansas with a child promoting a product in 4-H. I know the time and energy it took not to say days off from work. I know the difficulty of having to get off work. I live in NorthCentral Kansas and have traveled to Denver frequently to a Dr. Know how long that takes.... and to have the weigh in cut off at that time is difficult to say the least. I have no vested interest in this and looked at both sides. I get up every morning at 4 am and go to bed around 11 PM sometimes am up several times in between. I know how hard it is to do this..... Also Pulling weight is something these kids should not even be considering..... from a nurses standpoint...when I innocently overheard about kids dropping 10-20 pounds I cringed... I have taken care of them after, when their intestines were so messed up that they were in a world of hurt.... My brother did that some 40 years ago. I know the long term problems he has now. BE CAREFUL... There are other ways to wrestle effectively.
But to get from Liberal to Topeka you have to take a whole day off....I think this is a Kids sport I think, I think.
