Peso 331 Report post Posted October 14, 2019 I guess we have 43 RTC's in 25 states at this time. Tremendous . The quality of wrestlers coming into and out of college seems to have taken a solid up tick. I know we have two here in Oklahoma, but I rarely hear any news out of their rooms, and I would like to. It would appear that Penn St and Ohio State and Iowa University are the three programs utilizing these assets at the highest levels. Is there a way to spread the wealth? How are they funded? Are funds for salaries from private donations or the US Olympic movement. Are the facilities shared with most of the college programs in the area, or do any of them have their own facilities? Do any of you believe the RTC's are giving high school kids chances to advance higher than at any time in our history? Is this the number one contributor to our increased freestyle level of competitiveness? I apologize if this topic has been covered. I thought there were just a few of these sprinkled around the country. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this the number one contributor to our increased freestyle level of competitiveness? probably (this is opinion) 1 1 Peso and AZ_wrestling reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
