How about making a body fat test for overweight kids.We have alot more health issues in this country due to obessity than a few kids cutting weight.Still at a meet I'm more interested in who the best wrestler is than what the fat kid might look like if he were healthy.I would bet there are many more,and more serious health problems from overweight kids competing in sports than underweight.If a kid is cutting too much he will be weak,tired,and loosing matches.If he is bigger and stronger,the kids he is beating need to work harder.Weight changes throughout the day depending what a kid eats,drinks,2 day tournys have 2 day weighins (enuff is enuff).A competition to see who can keep their weight the same all day seems boring compared to a WRESTLING competition.(imo)Or maybe just make 2 weight classes big guys,and small guys no weighins.(probably half the big guys would want to be small guys)Point is as long as there are weight classes someone will try to find an edge.I have been to many meets and heard comments about under nourished kids but have heard many more about bras,manboobs and oh my gosh that guy needs more than a singlet.Weight needs to be left up to the wrestler,coach,and most of all the parent.
