Finally worked through some technical issues and got this posted. I guess technical issues are much like weather issues in January. Here they come. Ugh.
I spent the last week or so literally looking at EVERY kid's results posted on track. For some kids/parents who think they should be ranked and are not, ask your coach if he is keeping trackwrestling updated. If not, it's his fault. I removed a number of kids; some highly ranked. I hate to do that, but unless I have good information that someone is getting on the mat very soon, I had to do it. There have been a ton of injuries this year, but hopefully we have seen the end of those for one season.
A couple interesting notes. We have a couple new #1s this week showing us that there will be a few interesting weights down the stretch. Also, Christian County has jumped up to the #2 spot. Great to see what that program is doing. Could they make the Region 1 tournament exciting? What that also does is for the first time in the 20 years of me doing rankings, Region 6 is not the top dog. With Union, Christian, and McCracken putting up a ton of points and other solid teams bringing state placers, Region 1 has made a big jump this season.
Still a month left before it all goes down in the Horse Park. Enjoy.
