Someone talked about research that this was based upon. Look at USA Nationals entries for this year's jr's, 130 to 171 were where most of the kids were, with I believe 160 having the most entires. It gets sparse at the weights above that. Now this would not include most freshmen and sophs. If you look at cadets, you really do not see much at the top weights. As such, where did they get their numbers??? They eliminated a middle weight where most of the kids are, makes total sense. The decision is made and it is what it is, but this is really based on research????
