Going straight from 197 lbs to Heavyweight seems like a giant leap. In HS their is a 220 pound weight class. HS also has 14 weight classes. I think 14 weight classes in College would be economically tough , but I think adding 1 more weight class, say at around 220 would be great. There must be many great wrestlers in that 220-240 range that are too heavy to make 197 , yet too small to compete with the elite Heavys.
Has College Wrestling been 10 weight classes for a long time? I haven't been following College Wrestling nearly as long as NJ HS wrestling (since the late 60s)
Hope the weather cooperates for this weekends matches against Navy and Ohio St.
PS- I can just imagine some of the long time followers of College Wrestling shaking their heads in disbelief at this post, lol.
