It is a great tourney.
I have had the pleasure the last couple of years of helping the great Mark Gaulka take the national teams over to Danville, Illinois for the middle school nationals (as a coach and assistant team leader). With this said, I like the two pound allowance. Yes we are trying to find a state champ... but in my eyes the biggest honor is to represent your state at Middle School National Duals. You gotta figure that you are really only getting one pound, as the lightest shoes weigh at least one pound. With this said, If you can be within one pound of the weigh class (the morning of this tourney) and still wrestle well enough to take a top two spot. Then.... you should be able to make scratch a month later the night before nationals (weigh-is are the night prior). This allows Indiana to bring our very best team to nationals. I assure you that most kids at that tournament are lean and mean!!!!!
With all of this said..... Hector (Sig40) is right.... our teams should be very solid!!!! Although I am not on the ISWA board anymore, I may still make the trip out to see Indiana rip it up!!!!
