As a kid and throughout my time as a high school wrestler, it was my dream to make it to the finals and wrestle under the spotlight and run out during the faceoff. I will never forget the feeling I had when I got to finally experience that great atmosphere my senior year. With how they are formatting the finals now, I doubt nearly as many young kids have a dream to participate in the finals atmosphere because of how they have watered it down. It is disappointing to see how they have changed things, but hopefully something can come out of this and the finals can have the unique atmosphere they once had. I would encourage as many people as possible to send Caleb a short letter so he can send them to the KHSAA.
