I don't think looking at our national dual teams is a very good point on how strong washington Wrestling is. Too many factors on that front. Can we put some blame on our covid policies, absolutely. It was completely idiotic and not based in science. I believe that we actually have bigger issues on why washington isn't a very strong state when it comes to wrestling. I believe the biggest issue is result based wrestling over development at the youth level. You see it time after time. Washington does fairly decent at the youth level at national tournaments then starting about middle school you see our kids drop off significantly. The point of youth wrestling is too build love for the sport and skills. If you as a coach or parent have ever given your youth wrestler 'poop juice' to make weight for a tournament you are the problem. You guys know who you are.
