What is the average years experience (how many years coming into high school) of each weight class?

Wisconsin 3 classes

103 lbs By grade Percent
Qualifiers
Freshman 11 34.38%
Sophmores 12 37.50%
Juniors 7 21.88%
Seniors 2 6.25%
Total Qualifiers 32 100.00%

Kansas 4 Classes

103 lbs By grade Percent
Qualifiers
Freshman 32 50.00%
Sophmores 21 32.81%
Juniors 9 14.06%
Seniors 2 3.13%
64 100.00%


If the NFHS moves the limit on the lightest high school weight up. Currenlty in Wisconsin over 63% of the High School state qualifiers (32) are sophmores or above. In Kansas this year 50% of the state qulaifiers (64) are sophmores or above. If we are trying to maintain a starting point for lighter weights 110 is to big. Another topic for discussion is the consolidation of classes. Wisconsin has at least a couple more million people in that state compared to Kansas. Yet they have half the qualifiers per weight for state. Kansas should a least try 3 divisions for wrestling and have it all in the same location - where ever that may be.

Loc: Shawnee Kansas I think another interesting stat might be the average experience level. By weight how many years of experience does the average state qualifier have? 0-13 years of experince. This would be tough stat to get but not that hard for each coach to calculate on their HS team. It would help Kansas wrestling tremendously if we can get kids to start by the 6th or 7th grade. So 5th & 6th grade parents of wrestlers - have you son or daughter bring a buddy to practice next year.
