Well let me finish by saying, To a degree a agree with you, we do have a small number of excess weight classes which can probably be dismissed. I would love to see 6&U's added to the State tourny, although I doubt very much if that will ever happen. But I would not be willing to make any changes regarding the 16&U age group in terms of their participation, nor would I like to see changes to reflect grade levels. The way it is now, you spend a year wrestling kids who are usually tougher than you, then the next year you are the one who is tough in your age group, I think this serves a purpose, which is you have to wrestle kids better than you to get better.
