I really wish there could be a weight class lowere than 103. I coach for a kids club and have had the pleasure of coaching two outstanding kids that have each placed at state numerous times and have placed very well at national tournaments. The two kids are both very small, wrestled 72 last year and 78 this year. This year being their 7th grade year, and from their recent growth patterns it is going to be a miracle if they even weigh enough their freshman year to wrestle. Just really disappoints me that two great kids might have to sit out because they are not big enough and just simply cant gain the weight. Why make heavyweight higher when it is just simply easier for big kids to lose weight than it is for very skinny kids to gain weight.
I'm not real smart but it seems as though raising heavyweight just says to many obese kids, its ok just keep getting fatter you'll still get to participate
