My son Tucker will be a freshman next year, and is weighing about 85#'s. I currently have him strapped to a weight bench, with an iv drip consisting of testosterone, weight gain, growth hormone, and other various steroids. But even under these conditions he will be far from the new 106# weight or even the 103# weight class. Every pound matters when you are at this size.
I know of a number of exceptional Kids Fed wrestlers that couldn't even break 98 pounds this year and it was tough on them. I know of one wrestler that struggled all year to make 103/105 and still looked much smaller than many of his opponents when it came time to wrestle. Bone density is good when you are entering the golden years of your life, but it can be detrimental when you are a young teenager trying to win a gold medal.
