I had a similar topic last year and did not feel the love from the talk forum community. I feel sorry for your son not getting the opportunity to wrestle in the tournament but the answer to me was rules are rules. As I waited to watch my boys wrestle last Saturday, I saw a number of boys in full sweatsuits running off their extra weight. I remember my wrestling days and how much I hated cutting weight. I do not want my boys to dislike the sport that I truly love because of cutting weight. They will not miss a single meal. I have moved my kids up in weight to make sure that they will not be overweight. Both of my kids weighed in at less than the weight class below them last week. Maybe someday, with some technological advances, kids will be able to weigh in and wrestle at that weight. It always worked that way when I wrestled freestyle 25 years ago. Good luck on your quest!
