It would be a lot of work but it might be interesting to see the breakdown as to how many were A & AA

I'd rather see what the total regional participation has been for the last 10 years.

Actually, we need to measure each school's participation. The regions are made up of schools. The participation and quality of program is what strengthens or weakens each give region.

In addition, the regions have changed schools a few times in the past 10 years. Keep the stats coming. Stats will draw attention and help solve problems.

Hard to argue data like that. So disappointing for this wonderful sport. What are the objections or obstacles to eliminating the "A" classifications for wrestling in the state and having one true WV state champ? Also, helping to correct the lack of participation and disparity of competition.
