I'm going to make a statement that will probably upset a few on this matter, but from a spectator standpoint I would like to see at least 2 more weight classes in the upper weights. In my opinion there is more excitment to see in say from 160#-285# weight classes, not taking nothing away from the lower weights but the heavier weight classes Some say that it will be hard to fill a roster, but I have seen just as many opens in the lower weights. I agree with Disney, I believe most the State Champions at 285 were not the heaviest but the trimmest, and in best condition of the heavy weights.

Wrestling is the a great sport for it makes room for everyone to participate. What I mean by this is most the lower weights wrestling is a good sport, that they can excel in. Football, and basketball players are getting allot bigger than in years past, and I know a few wrestling programs that where 3 to 4 deep at from 189-285, and allot of kids drop out at this weight who are quality wrestlers because they a wrestling behind a Cotton, Disney, to mention a few type wrestlers. And with a few added weights in the upper classes there would be room for them. How many lower weights would be in the same boat if we had 30# jumps in weight classes, I believe more than a few.

The real thing to keep in mind is changing of times, like I said earlier kids are bigger now days than years ago, you have high schools with #285+ linemen, #200+ running backs, and so on and all 6'or taller. The smallest man on the team is the #160 water boy. Some may say that this is unhealthy, but some will also say that a 103# high school student is also I believe that was one reason for dropping the #98 slot years ago. There are way more kids cutting weight at the lower weights to a unhealthy level than at the upper weights.

So I suppose that this is another topic with arguments from every angle of the spectrum.
