Ok if we are looking at Kansas kids up and coming. Last year at kids state their were 78 kids who qualified for state that were wrestling at 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 & 100 - to me that is a good agruement to keep 103 as the lightest weight in Kansas. If you take 14 and under weights 175, 205, 235 & 265 there were 55 kids who qualified for state. Even if you take out the 100 pound kids who may be 112 the next year there are still 62 kids from 95 pounds or less from 14 & under. Those 62 are all going towards the 103 division. On the upper end of 14 & under the 175lbers have 189 or 215 to grow to or the can cut to 171 if the are a small 175 (actual weight 180-183). the 235's can cut to 215 or grow into heavys. The heavys are going to have to stay fit - no more unlimited available.

The 85, 90 & 95 pounds can't cut anything. More kids fewer options coming into high school. 103 is the only option. 110 will be way out of reach for some.
