Will, the Toshiba/KCI Classic is a great tournament. It certainly would be a very challenging test especially for the Johnson County wrestlers who have won state championships. It would also be a good test for former State placers or qualifiers.

It is doubtful though that the organizers of the Johnson County Classic would be willing to change the date of the Classic. The Classic does get a lot of attendance from college kids who were ex-high school Johnson County wrestlers and their parents. I know over the years that my son wrestled in this tournament I noticed that this tournament was the best attended tournament by former Aquinas wrestlers and parents. It has become a holiday wrestling tradition in Johnson County that I doubt the organizers want to change. Jacob, my wife and I are both going this year. This will be the first high school tournament that we will attend.
