team state is very important and needs to stay. our program and i'm sure other programs get more and more kids coming out each year and interested in the sport just because of the fact that they want to be a part of the tradition. it also wouldn't be fair to the average wrestlers because if they don't qualify for the individual competition they may not feel that they contributed to the team if that is the way they decide team champions. the way i look at it is that you can't have an individual tournament decide team champions. it just doesn't truley determine who the best team is the state is. so ihsaa do the people a favor and keep team state going
