Coach Litherland Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 This Sunday (2/12) any Freshman or Sophomore not advancing to State is eligible for this tournament. Will a lot of wrestlers show interest in this tournament, or just call it a season? I know other states have this kind of tournament so it will be interesting to see how this develops in the future but I think it's a great idea!

MattM Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) To clarify all freshman or sophomore that didn't make Semi-State are eligible for the Freah/Soph Qualifier. Those wrestlers who made Semi-State are automatically entered for the Fresh/Soph State event (after paying the entry fee). http://www.trackwrestling1.com/tw/uploads/P-238368009-Indiana_Frosh_Soph_State_upload.pdf Edited February 6, 2017 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takemtothemat Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Old coach coming back off 5 year hiatus. Just wondering what kind of numbers turn out for this tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 First year for both Fresh/Soph State and Girls State. So we will have to wait an see on that question. For year one it seemed like Girls State went well. Hopefully Fresh/Soph STate is a successful event. The more mat time the better.

Thanks for the quick reply. I agree, never enough mat time and exposure to other wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigyusm Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I asked my son. He doesn't want to Go. Made it to regionals. He was devestated when he lost and says it's not the same. He plays baseball too so that could be a part of it. Won't leave the room till the last kid done either way , just doesn't want to compete right now.

redcobra Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 257 Freshman and Sophomores have qualified for the IHSAA Semi-States (of the 896 slots) ... congrats to them! They have been imported into the Indiana Frosh-Soph State Championships and can participate by merely being present. They are not permitted in the Qualfiers, as we hope to give another 12 wrestlers per weight class per Qualfier a chance at advancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the point of the qualifier to help narrow the field to a reasonable size. Edited February 7, 2017 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcobra Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 We will be hopefully adding 24 wrestlers to the State Event from each weight class ... 12 from each Qualifier. So if you add 24 to each imported number from the State Event (SS Qualifiers), you would have maximums. The tourney is two days, and wrestles down to the top 12 first day. Day 2 starts with the Podium Round and Semi's ... 32 and 64 man brackets (even with pigtails) are no problem. Actually, that would be a great problem. The highest level of participants would be 593; 257 from the SSQ's and 336 from the Qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartanGrappling Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 They have been imported into the Indiana Frosh-Soph State Championships and can participate by merely being present. Do they have to pay the entry fee? Do they still need the USA wrestling card? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Litherland Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 If you have youth wrestlers looking for a place to wrestle this weekend, the Tell City Folkstyle Open will be at The Ford Center also. Should be a great experience for young wrestlers to compete on the big stage! There's information in the Tornament section or I'll answer questions the best I can through here.

Coach Litherland Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 What about the actual meet my son already qualified What about the actual meet my son already qualified For the State meet, weigh in requirements are the same. 4 pound allowance (with shoes and singlet) but they are required to make weigh out weight with an additional 2 lb allowance. If they don't make weigh out weight on Saturday they can make the same 6 pound allowance on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cooper Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 For the State meet, weigh in requirements are the same. 4 pound allowance (with shoes and singlet) but they are required to make weigh out weight with an additional 2 lb allowance. If they don't make weigh out weight on Saturday they can make the same 6 pound allowance on Sunday. Any reason why there is a weigh-out for this meet? Why are we making this more complex than it has to be? grecoref 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be a weigh out. Keep off season fun guys. grecoref 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trbell Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I know this may be a shot in the dark, but since this is not a IHSAA event can a middle schooler compete. I know Middle School state is the same day but as a High School coach I am unable to be in two places at once and just checking if my son who is a 7th grader could compete in the High School division.
