Hokie Havoc mentioned above that we are seeing elite high school kids have freestyle success against college and post-college wrestlers. Is this normal? Are there any new wrestling trends that are leading to younger kids having success? Is this normal? Or are we in a golden era with wrestlers like Duke, Forrest, Bassett, etc. that are skewing reality because of success at the top?
