A few who wrestled 103- ZAch Roberson,Bo Manes,Tanner Gardner,Eric Luedke,Earl Jones,,Jake Kriegbaum,Bill Gable,Justin Ware,Dustin May,J.B Harding,Austin Devoe,Doug Hoover,Cody Garcia,Luke Metzler,Seth Metzler,Devin Swartz,Daniel Prater,Blaze Bahe,Beau Vest,Levi Younkin,Garret Harding,Aron Patton,James Ball,Beau Tillman,Brett Bahe,Tim Elliott,Clay Madden,Tristan Deshazer,Issac Wall,Blake Fisher,Donnie Altman,Larry Perez,Trent Cox,Nicki Shumate,Nate Furches,John Keller,Paulie Hanson. Some of these may have cut weight severly as you suggest but I know for a fact many did not and plenty were under weight.Makes little difference to me what class they were in as highschool consists of 4 years an each of these guys were(are) a pleasure to watch,and deserved to compete.IMO
Very impressive list but again are you trying to tell me that these guys would not have been their school's 112 wrestler if 103 was not available. I bet at least over 90% of them would have as freshmen and still managed to had great records in 112.
From my perspective it would also be a pleasure for me and many others who enjoy football and high school upper weight wrestling (from 160 up to 285) to see more of these very fine football players competing in high school wrestling. I see so many great football athletes who do not wrestle and who I know could be great wrestlers. When you mention all these great light weight wrestlers. I can't help but think of how many great stories are we leaving out there of 160 to 285 athletes. Basically it comes down to opportunity. With ten weight classes up to 160 and only four over 160, high school wrestling is unfairly giving more opportunities to lighter athletes. It is just not even close to being fair and due to the increasing 50% median weight of athletes in high school today it is going to hurt wrestling participation unless it is adjusted.
