Question on weight changes, ie heavier weights

[Patti041104 0]

I realize that this has been discussed before but I would like to know what happened to the discussions about adding another weight class between 215 and HVY (285).  With kids that weight about 240, they will either have to cut weight hard or wrestle people 35 lbs heavier.  This hurts the kids who are switching from football to wrestling. They have to have weight to play to football then they cut for wrestling. Thanx in advance for your answers

We really do need another weight class at 235 or 240. any chance of this happening?

No change this year. I think the vote was to keep them the same.

The issue is that alot of coaches cant fill up a lineup as it is, adding a new weight class would just make this issue worse

I believe the recommendation was to spread out the middle weighs, so you didn't have such big gaps in the upper weights, 160-171, 171-189, 189-215, 215-285
