This is not an appropriate measure to just throw out and compare one class to the other.

One of the problems with a lot of the 321A wrestlers records is that they tend to wrestle other 321A schools rather than meet up with the other 3 classes. This tends to skew the numbers because you might wrestle the same people in your regional several times and help pad your win percentage. Norton is one of the examples of a program that tries to mix the schedule up with all 4 classes.

The problem with the two large classes is that there are only 32 programs in each classification. This cuts down the amount of winning records that would be in a bracket at regionals and enables more losing records to squeeze through.

What is appropriate to say about 321A and 4A is that it is much more difficult to qualify to state than 5A and 6A. This is because of the sheer size of brackets 16 plus kids versus 8 or less.
