District 1 - 174 wrestlers

District 2 - 29 wrestlers, 21 of these Larue County

District 3 - 69 wrestlers

District 4 - 75 wrestlers

District 5 - 70 wrestlers

District 6 - 96 wrestlers

District 7 - 113 wrestlers

District 8 - 118 wrestlers

Region 1 - 203

Region 2 - 144

Region 3 - 166

Region 4 - 231

Realignment needs to be looked at by the KMSWA.  I know travel is an issue for teams.  Shift a few teams from district 1 to district 2 a possibility.  Possibly move a team from district 7 or 8 to another.  Little too late for this year but possible for next year.

Considering not every team has entered their roster yet, this is a little premature. 

Thought every team had entered rosters, look at numbers again later.  Thanks for clarifying.

Big day is tomorrow and the numbers aren't much better from Wednesday.

District 1 - 170

District 2 - 96

District 3 - 84

District 4 - 75

District 5 - 66

District 6 - 102

District 7 - 111

District 8 - 119

Region 1 - 266

Region 2 - 159

Region 3 - 168

Region 4 - 230

I'd say district 1 needs a little moving around on the team placements. 170 participants is more than Region 2 as a whole!

I'm sure the KSWA staff will be looking into this after the season. As someone who spent a lot of time reviewing these numbers in the past I will say realignment is NOT an easy process and as soon as you think you have it solved there will be other things come up. So many teams/clubs go through cycles with their numbers that it is a never-ending process. 

Do these numbers move up and down each year? Or is this a trend?

It depends.  I know in District 6, Turkeyfoot Middle dropped their program, which was 20-30 strong a few years ago.  Same thing in District 5---one team was added, but two dropped, both of which used to have full teams.  

Some are up, some are down. McCracken is a huge addition out west. They should be strong for the foreseeable future so a realignment should recognize this. N KY is down the last year or so (used to be the strongest in numbers and depth) and may need some adjustments. The Lexington area has been growing recently too. Good to see solid numbers in district 8 this year.
