What about the kids that cut some weight to go get some competition? Sometimes, not always, the heavier you are, the less kids there are, therefore, less competition. If you're in the ? and Under 100 lb class, and there are only 2 kids in the whole district there, but there are 7 kids at the ? and under 95 lb class, and 95 is within reach, why not do it? Remember, there are healthy ways to lose weight. If you're losing muscle weight, that's bad, if you're losing fatty weight, that is nothing but good for the kid, as long as he's doing it in a healthy way, not just cutting off the food and water to lose it..........
