Here is my two cents on the topic of why we shouldn't have classed wrestling.
For one our states population and wrestling depth does not compare to other surroundings states or powerhouses. Implementing a class system would sort of ruin the competitive nature and excitement our state wrestling tournament brings upon us. In my opinion, the key to establishing a powerhouse program starts from the youth scene. You see all of these top 10 programs, and all you have to do is look at their youth programs. The best teams and the ones who can compete have a steady balanced youth program. For example, Avon has had their youth program rolling with these last couple incoming classes in '19 and '20 that grew up wrestling together on the youth scene. You also throw that in with training at contenders. This is the prime reason why they are on the rise. All the best coaches know this is the system to create a powerhouse program. You see brownsburg is just now starting to rise on the youth scene as well as warriors of Warren Central. This also shows in the smaller classes as well. Shennandoah has had that same group of boys, along with a great youth club that has allowed them be able to compete with the states best no matter how big or small their school is.
From the how do we get this middle class to rise, it's got to be summer wrestling. With the rise in private clubs in Indiana, there are plenty of oppurtunities between Contenders, Indiana Outlaws, CIA, Indy pride, etc. if Indiana as a whole wants to become better, we must talk to these kids in competing and training as much as possible in the offseason.
