Greetings,

Sports fan 02: "That's why it is important for the KWCA and KSHSAA to get this as close to right the first time as possible."
The first time will not be last time! There are no ultimate and final solutions. Getting as "close as possible" the "first time"only assures congruency until the next "thing" comes along. The fact that there is talk about lowering the legal drinking age only supports the fact that rules are in a state of flux all the time--and that the only constant is change.

VS Vike Coach: Appreciate sharing your experiences from a "user's" point of view. Would like to point out that the use of calipers by your school is a local choice as tanita scales are also an option in Iowa. Your Iowa Association director of wrestling, Alan Beste (sp?) has been involved with the KSHSAA committee in all three of our meetings thus far and he has been very, very helpful to us.

Mike: The cost in dollars will be negligible; I do have concerns about the time it will require of our coaches--especially keeping up with a descent plan.

Mom 160: I am guessing that such people (in a healthy state of being) are a very, very small percentage of our population. My thinking would be that they would be alowed to lose zeo pounds; that they would required to wrestle the closest weight class to their actual weight--if they are between two, they must wrestle the greater one. VS Vike Coach--what do they do about this in Iowa?
