Is NHFS trying to solve the wrong problem.
We discussed weight classes the last couple of years.
Still would like to see a couple of NEW Weight classes in the upper brackets. Take 215 down to 204, add a new 225 and a new 250.
The current weight spreads are far too big (189 to 215 = 26 lbs = 14%, and 215 to 285 = 70 lbs = 32%). We don't ask our lighter weights to face thos differientials, i.e 135 to 140 is 5 lb and ony 3.8%.
The big differientials are keeping a lot of big kids out of wrestling. Splitting the brackets should bring more kids and good athletes to the program. Lots more footballers should be wrestling!!!
