oldgrappler 9 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Julian Tackett sent an email yesterday to all coaches and ADs, making sure everyone understands the rule. If a wrestler needed a weigh-in this weekend in order to drop a weight class, they are out of luck. The KHSAA will not accept any weigh-ins unless in conjunction with a match or tournament. If your match/weigh-in was cancelled, and if you needed the weigh-in to certify at the lower weight, you are stuck at the higher class - no exceptions.

pmilf103 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Is Andy Lenz stuck at 119 now or did Harrison County have a meet that was not cancelled? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Assessor 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 If lenz had already made 112/114 at an official weigh in he can continue to lose according to his weight descent plan. If any one had not made a weight they no longer can drop to a lower weight class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newfan13 4 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 Lenz is fine. His last weigh in was within his plan so he is good to go. He is officially going 112 for state! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
171/160 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 so r u saying that he has already made 114 at a weigh-in or his plan says he could have today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Assessor 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 If he already made weight he can continue on his weight loss plan to return to that weight. If he had not already weighed in at 112/114 his plan stops 1-31-09. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfan13 4 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 Lenzwent up in weight classes to wrestle zarth. He never went up in weight. His weigh ins all year kept him at 112. I know their are a lot of people scrambling now. This is the exact reason that even when lenz was wrestling 125 he would weigh in at 115. I tried all year to get him to go 119 but he set a goal last year of 112 and he is stubborn. Best of luck to all and I think this snow will shake things up a lot.!!!!

myGSP 4 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 i think not man i think they need a offical toument weigh in 8-)KHSAA RULES AND REGULATIONSGoverning Wrestling TournamentsC) Certification into a Weight Class1) A wrestler is certified into a particular weight class at anyregularly scheduled match or tournament any time on or prior tothe Saturday of NFHS week 30 by making base weight (includinggrowth allowance after December 25) at an official weigh-in ona certifi ed scale as long as that certified weight is not below thedocumented minimum weight and is at a time allowed by theminimum weight calculations. A wrestler weighing in on or priorto the Saturday of NFHS week 30 is continually certifying at theweigh-in weight.2) Once a wrestler is certifi ed into a particular weight class asof the Saturday of NFHS week 30, he/she may weigh-in onlyin that class and one class above. He/she is automatically recertified into a higher weight class after the Saturday of NFHSweek 30 by weighing in and qualifying for that class, but neverinto a lower weight class. After the Saturday of NFHS week 30,making base weight (including growth) two classes above anypreviously certifi ed weight class automatically renders thatwrestler ineligible for the remainder of the year to wrestle in thelower weight class (previous certified weight).3) Please note that this rule is for weigh-ins, not matches. It ispossible that a wrestler weighed in at a certain class weightfor a match, but wrestled up during that match. That weigh-inwould count for the lower, weigh-in class.

Mortal 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2009 woah, Does anyone know if Supe has made 119 yet. That would be such a stacked weight class for region 6. Than again region 6 is the toughest region in state. :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
