I hear Akin is going to get a team to go to Brut this year.

does anyone know of any 8th graders and 3rd graders who will be attending this event??

What weights.I hope none of the kids got held back since they go by grade.

I took a look at the entry forms (which are way to complicated in my opinion) and the 1st-2nd graders have 10 weight classes starting at 37 lbs and on up to 76 lbs. No heavyweights apparently. 3rd graders and up not to bad all the regular weights plus some even heavier classes. Hope this helps..

We went to a girls nationals in Minnisota 4 years ago. They went by grade. My 11 year old 6th grader wrestled a 14 year old 6th grader who was home schooled.

Brute Adidas Nationals is a nationally held event where wrestlers compete for the national folk-style championship in their respective school grade. The event has age groups for 1st through 11th grades.

Other questions: eakin@kc.rr.com

Would there be a weight class for a 1st grader/6yr at a weight around 83-86 lb. ?

Jam,

Based on what I saw on the website your wrestler would be too heavy. 76lbs was the the top weight class in the 1st-2nd grade group. Good luck
