Tne NCAA really needs to have a weight class between 197 and 285. That gap of 88 pounds is ridiculous. The NCWA the college club wrestling division has a 235 weight class.

If you are suggesting that we should be more like NCAA, we could increase the competition level for high school kids by widening the weight gaps between weight classes for the wrestlers under 145. Five pound intervals for those weights are too small. I believe the smallest gap in college is eight pounds. The gaps in high school at one time were larger than five pounds. Kids in high schools are bigger and I think we lose a lot of the bigger kids over 160 pounds with our current weight class system.
