Try 16 grueling FS Greco matches over 4 days, and two things will happen: 1- your kid will be sore 2- he will be a much better wrestler.

I agree and would love to wrestle in state. Tell me what am I to do with a 5'8' 200lb 10U HWT when the weight group stops at 140 and we have a 25lb weight spread limit. He wouldn't qualify anyway to move on unless he was the only one who showed up. This is just another instance where the weight/age rules are slanted against a wrestler who might otherwise be involved. I have also made it pretty clear that we will not wrestle up for the sake of doing so. Especially when the end result will be him sitting at home when the big meets roll around.
