I'm all about getting kids competition and the best are deserving. but if we did have a 98lb weight class 75% of the kids would be freshman. Nothing against a smaller kid but in no other varsity sport would they create or add a class or division to make it easier for freshman to be a part of a varsity team. Not trying to say freshman can't beat seniors or that they are not talented.
Another thought:
New weights might make for healthier younger wrestlers. Grade school kids do worry about their weight and in a lot of instances cut weight. Does this mentality change a little for a young wrestler / coach / or parent? Less focus on cutting weight when younger might be a positive.
