my son has wrestled the varsity spot @ 140 for West Elk and will wrestle 145/150 for the classic and for kids. He to has looked foward to being the top of his age group this year as well. he also had to drop 10 lbs to get there because his older brother who is 31-2 is a senior, but he will be able to finally do some things against kids his own age after taking some of the beatings against the jr/sr kids. he will probaly not get a good seed at the classic or subs becasue of his record 17/15 but the age and expierance along with the compitition and practice time should show.
