As a competitor of the 5a state tournament, in my opinion classes 5a and 6a do not need to be combined. Throught the whole year you wrestle many different teams in all classes, as a senior I like the distinction between classes. I just moved here from Virginia beach and was a competitor in the state tournament there where there is only 3 classes which makes it harder to to make it to the state tournament but coming here the distinction was better and more organized. I understand your opinion lbaker that you see a lot of losing record kids in the state tournament (I was not one of them) but it doesn't take from the fact that those kids did something that many others could never do which is get the chance to compete in the state tournament. Whether they went 0-2 or not they still were given the opportunity to compete and everyone of them earned their right and placed in the top 4 in their region. Very nice post. Welcome to Kansas wrestling.

The only thing I'm having trouble figuring out is this. If 5a and 6a are so weak and Lucass hates Ark City as bad as he obviously does. Then why would he be at a camp in Ark City? Just a thought.
Well you're just a special kind of stupid aren't you?

So next year i'm going to go 0-14, go to regionals win one match against a kid with mental disabilities, and go 1-16 and make it to state. You expect ANY kid to feel accomplished with that? Thats just putting them on a stage to get embarrassed.

Well I am not sure who you are, but you just embarrassed yourself by making this statement. But if you do go to regionals with 0-14 record and you win a match or beat other kids out of the bracket, than you deserve to go to state, if there is only 4 in the bracket and you advance with a 0-16 record, than maybe there will be a gripe.

Oh no, the wrestling universe has collapsed some athletes with a losing records made it to the big dance in St. Louis. At 125, Camden Eppert a sophomore from Purdue came out of the Big Ten Tournament with a 12-15 record. At 133, another Big Ten sophomore from Penn State, Frank Martellotti, qualified with an 8-9 mark. Looks like the NCAA should just cancel the tournament. NCAA Wresting Tournament

141 Mattingly (C. Michigan) is 15-22
133 Aruajua (Cornell) is 5-5? half of his wins were at regional qualifier

Oh no!!!! Having those guys on the bracket cheapens the event. Bet all the other National Qualifiers now feel like it's nothing.

Does anyone remember Mark Branch? Freshman year qualified for NCAA DI nationals with an 8-9 record. Didnt do much, finished the tournament with a 5-0 record...
Record going in doesnt matter much, just where you finish!

can't imagine how all those KS wrestlers in the brackets are all from 5a/6a. i mean all that wrestling in such weak HS regionals, maybe they're well rested cause they had it sooooo easy. yep that's it not well trained, battle tested, they're well rested.
