Art. 2: Weight divisions for seventh and eighth grade wrestlers may be 75 lbs., 80 lbs., 85 lbs., 90 lbs., 95 lbs., 100 lbs., 105 lbs., 110 lbs., 115 lbs., 120 lbs., 127 lbs., 134 lbs., 141 lbs., 148 lbs., 155 lbs., 165 lbs., 180 lbs. and 265 lbs.

a. It is permissible for schools that are organized with grades seven, eight and nine under one administrative unit, to have one school team combining the grade levels, and add categories of lower weights for the purpose of determining team scores. This is only permissible if all schools involved in the match or tournament agree to do this in advance of competition.

In the absence of unanimous agreement, competition involving ninth graders with seventh and/or eighth graders, senior high weight divisions shall be used by all competitors.

NOTE: If mutually agreed upon, this will allow seventh, eighth and ninth grade team competition to include the 72 lb., 76 lb., 80 lb., 84 lb., 88 lb., 92 lb., and 96 lb. weights, in addition to those listed for senior high competition which begins at the 103 lb. category.
