State Qualifying Tournament in Kearney 2003

We have a growing group in Kearney that wish to support freestyle and GR wrestling for our kids. We believe more tournament opportunities are a necessity, especially between the end of the Huskerland season and State USA. In fact, we would favor moving the State USA tournament to a later date to open up more opportunities between the folkstyle and freestyle/GR schedules. Can the State tournament be moved to the first weekend in June, this year that schedule would have opened up 4 additional local tournament weekends! Next year, that schedule would open up 6 weekends (excluding Easter weekend)for local tournaments. This would be a way to give our wrestlers considerably more match experience before State and by having these as State qualifiers would hopefully also increase the number of State tournament participants. We plan to host a tournament on the April 26th weekend either at Kearney Catholic or another Kearney site. We may look at Greco on Friday night and freestyle on Saturday to also provide Greco match opportunities. We challenge other clubs to pick dates so we can fill up a respectable calendar for our freestyle and GR wrestlers. We also challenge the USA state directors to consider moving the State tournament out to provide these additional tournament opportunities. Club and State directors, can we get together and support these or similar thoughts?
