My son is 12U and 130 and this is his first year. I was wondering if there was any first year wrestlers myself. He tried it in school to stay in shape for football and he ended up really liking it. I didnt know a thing about wrestling but have really grown to love the sport. He really feels good about himself but we are still working on his disappointment with himself when he loses. I keep telling him to be proud of his accomplishments this year and that most of his opponates have been doing this for years. I'm still just mom though and I won't know anything at least for another 10 years. To all wrestlers who have made it this far.....KOODOES and Good luck
