Maybe 6 freshman placed but look at all the classes. how many sophomores, junior, and seniors? I did look at preseason rankings at 106lbs for this year and there is only 1 senior ranked in all of the classes. 1 Senior in 5A ranked 6th.
When thinking about all weight classes wouldn't the sport in general want to maximize Juniors and Seniors wrestling in a starting line-up.
It does stink for a little guy and I do understand the frustration. I am just trying to look at it from different angle. We are talking about 3lbs and if 3lbs turns you away from wrestling then maybe it wasn't meant to be.
