Having a son who wrestled 103 for two years in high school, I would be against getting rid of the 103 class. As a freshman he was a light 103, and then after growing chose to sacrifice and wrestle 103 as a sophomore even though he could have earned a spot at 112 or 119 on his team. That year alone there were two seniors at 103 in the Blue Valley region, and one of those placed 2nd in the state.

There are skilled wrestlers in all the classes, but if you take a look at any kids tournamement these days you will find some of the deepest and most technically skilled kids brackets at your lower weights under 100 pounds. Those are the kids who wrestle year round because of their lack of size to compete in other sports. Those are the kids who will ultimately wrestle 103 in high school. At BVW, we have had trouble filling the heavier weights, not the lower ones.
