Currently, Kansas follows the NFHS rules of only allowing for two pund growth allowance. The executive board is considering limiting weight based on body fat analysis. However, they are not addressing any normal growth of athletes during the season.2 pounds of growth does not follow any established growth curves for h.s. athletes. What needs to be done?
1. Any KSHSAA member school, administrator or coach should e-mail Rick Bowden at rbowden@kshsaa.org and let him and the executive board know that a proposal to give wreslters an additional pound on February 1 (i.e. 103 would be 106) is of sound medical necessity.
Fax the request as well to Rick Bowden or Gary Musselman at 785-273-5329.
Note, several states already do this including Virginia, Washinton,etc..
