Ok, just a couple of changes. I would say it is more like 5-2. Illinois does not allow High School wrestlers. But their age divisions are basically school divisions. 8U can not wrestle in the State Tournament either. It is 3rd, 4th, 5th graders, with 2nd graders that are 8 having the option to wrestle up. 6th, 7th, 8th, with 10 years old 5th graders having the option to wrestle up. Not the same set up we have at all.

Oklahoma goes strictly by birthday. If you are a sophmore and are 16 after September 1st you can wrestle in the 15U kids division.

I have not checked but I would bet that NONE of these states have a High School Division. So basically we are comparing apples to oranges.

I say we keep 14U the same, add the High School, and give 14 year old Freshmen the option.
