Regional/Sectional Alignment Is Horrible

Recently I participated in a team sectional. It was held in Darlington, which is about two and a half hours away, to wrestle a team that is 30 miles down the road. Then Saturday Sectionals at Mineral Point is about the same exact distance away. The Arcadia Sectional is about an hour closer. So I would like to know who in the world is coming up with this stuff and what map are they looking at.

There were at least fifty people who couldn’t attend our team sectional because it was too far away. Not only is it two and one half hours away it’s on a school night. So by the time it was over and everyone loaded up on the bus it was about ten o’clock. So we didn’t get home till after midnight. Also, Marshall came a long way to our Sectional when North Fond du Lac is about thirty minutes from them.

Also, it isn’t fair for one team like Mineral Point (we wouldn’t of beat them anyway) to only have to go ten minutes down the road. Also, I don’t see why they should get to hold sectionals every year.

For all divisions but especially division 3 the four Sectionals are held in 4 different corners of the state. So it really isn’t close for anyone except the host and their conference. That plain and simple just isn’t fair or smart.

Personally, I would like the people in charge to just stop and think about where they’re sending people and maybe rethink that. That’s just my two cents

Sincerely

-Big Mac
