Big Daddy - I agree that some regions are harder to qualify than others. Last year the discussion came around to how there should be more qualifiers from the more difficult regions, and that is when I figured out that no region actually medaled all 4 qualifiers in any given weight class. Actually, the breakdown of medals by regional location went to Beloit (25), Onaga (17), Fredonia (13), and Wakeeny (29). Don't know that I would classify 4 medals as "a ton". Nobody is arguing that the Northwest part of the state is tough (I grew up there!), but it always sounds like the goal is just to get a regional medal.
