I don’t know the exact number of teams in Ky. If I counted correctly, there were 85 teams that qualified at least one wrestler to the state tournament. Going by these numbers, eliminating one weight class would prevent 85 kids an opportunity to wrestle during the season. 340 kids if we eliminated 4 weight classes. Kentucky wrestling can not afford to lose one opportunity for a kid to wrestle. Each wrestler is not only a competitor now but also a future coach, parent, or even fan that will give back to the sport.
