This debate pops up every year. Last year someone did keep track of the number of wrestlers placing from each regional although I do not have those numbers. I do remember that it was not until the 5 and 6 place medalists were counted did the two eastern regionals even put a dent in things. I think everyone agrees that the NT regional is the toughest but the other regionals will definetly have some tough kids. If a guy will do some research they will find that the toughest regional is ALWAYS the one with the most NW and NC teams(321A). EurekaHWT you say you would like to go to the NT regional-good for you. However if you ask your coach or any coach in another regional besides Nortons if they would like to switch what do you think the answer would be? And the reason they do not want to go is because it would cost them wrestlers in the state trny.
