If you're talking about the September cut-off, it used to be January in Kansas as well. Many of us spent years getting it changed to the current date so that it more closely aligned kids with their own grade in school. In addition, at the time September was a cut-off used by other sports. IMO the less we do like USAW can only be a good thing for Kansas wrestling. Why would we care what date USAW or other states use? I was noticing on some other message boards that some states actually change age groups at the first of the year after a wrestler has already started the season at a lower age group. Should we follow that lead as well?
