Little to be desired about State Duals format

DES MOINES -- Some were in it to win it, while many others weren't technically even in it.
The buzz leading up to the Iowa High School Athletic Association State Duals tournament became its theme Wednesday when many teams fielded reserves and sat out state qualifiers during the team championship event.
The biggest example came from Class 3A top-seeded South Polk, which entered the tournament 23-0 and didn't even weigh-in one of its class-high 12 individual state qualifiers. Fifth-seeded Linn-Mar weighed its nine state qualifiers but none of them took the mat Wednesday. Streicher did, however, wrestler his five starters who did not advance to state.
