I completely agree with you robert, constantly, my kids have been well below the weight they wrestle, mainly due to their natural weight being between the weight classes and many times we have weighed in below the lower weight class than what we signed up for. In an 8 year old at 64-67 lbs whose normal weight is 65, i dont think that trying to cut that 1 pound is worth it, just wrestle the higher weight bracket and go on. Or for more aof a challenge go up another weight class. IMO it only makes the kid better the more of a challenge things are for him/her.
