I wrestled 215 all of my high school then in college wrestled 197. I agree there sould be a weight class above it at about 235 but. If you look at it on a national scale most of the better hwts are around 235 to 245 weight then u have your few exceptions. How can you add something when the olympics is 264.2. It would be great but you have to look at it in alot of ways.
Very good points made. I remember Norton had a phenomenal hwt though that only weight 190lbs or so in the late 90's. We as a state could add a weight on our own (Texas has a 180 class and NY has a 95lb class)...however when you go to National Tournaments or anything out of state you have to go to one weight: 180 you go 189 or 171 come nationals and so on.
I think for duals it might not be bad to have an extra weight that way you can go tiebreaker and do heads up in breaking a tie (let's not allow ties anymore in duals please!)
Anyway that's my 2cents...
By the way I know about that 215 cut down in college...I went to 184 my 1st two years of wrestling in college. I'm just glad I didn't have Bojangles down in Oklahoma like you did out east (this is Josh right?)
