It is NOT a KSHSAA decision. The weight classes are determined by a committee at the National High School level. This topic was debated heavily during the past 16 months. The biggest issue, imo, is that they took a weight class out of the middle of the bell curve and stuck it out on the right side. (140ish and stuck in 195 or 182 your pick). Many 14U are 8th graders. Ninth grade is sort of the "cusp" year for puberty. No one is getting left out. If you only weigh 80lbs you can wrestle 106.
