Sorry to change topics, but we (KWCA) have been trying to get a dual state approved by the KSHSAA executive board for several years that is backed by virtually the entire wrestling community and that is a slow process, but we are resolved to see it through, so it gets put on theiur agenda every year.
My advice to you, if you want it changed, start early, get as much support as possible and be prepared to address and defend your position each year.
The KSHSAA at least gives wrestling coaches far more freedom in coaching their athletes in the summer than they do for other sports. This is a fairly recent change that no doubt took some time to get changed. I beleve it took 8-9 years to finally get 6 medals at the state tounament in 1992, which worked great for me in 92 but bad for Kit Harris in 91 (sorry, Coach, yeah I know, you still have that common opponent over me.) Anyway, change is possible, just get the ball rolling soon!!
Good Luck!!
