I am a passionate and dedicated wrestler who has been unfairly disqualified from the upcoming girl's wrestling state tournament by the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA). This decision was made without allowing me an opportunity to appeal, which I believe is unjust.

Wrestling is not just a sport for me; it is my passion, my dedication, and an integral part of who I am. Being barred from participating in this tournament feels like being stripped of my identity. It's not only about winning or losing; it's about having the chance to compete fairly.

The right to appeal decisions that impact us significantly should be fundamental in any fair system. However, KSHSAA did not allow me to appeal my recent disqualification during the Regionals competetion. This lack of transparency and fairness affects many young athletes like myself across the State of Kansas.

It is crucial that we stand together against such injustices and demand change. We are calling on KSHSAA to review their current policies and implement a fair appeal process for all athletes affected by disqualifications.
