I do like watching the lighter weight classes too, but what does it matter about what weight class that most people find most exciting? This should be about equal opportunity for the student population. I think wrestling should determine what the 50% median weight is and half the weights should be over it and half under. I don't believe that median weight is 140. The 1999-2002 National Health Examination Survey showed that the mean weight for boys in the United States was 150.3 for 15 year olds, 163.7 for 16 year olds, 166.3 for 17 year olds and 166.4 for 18 year olds. Those were up from the 1966-70 survey which showed 135.5 for 15 year olds, 142.6 for 16 year olds, and 149.8 for 17 year olds with no listing for 18 year olds. Kids are getting heavier. I know a lot of it is not good weight gain. But gain in height and strength training are also factors in these gains in size. I believe that the median 50% weight has shifted upward like the mean weight has. I don't know what the median 50% weight is exactly but I believe it is at least 10 pounds over our current mid weight of 140. Wrestling will be limiting opportunity for the majority of our high school students if wrestling does not start adding some weight classes for wrestlers over 160.
