Coaches deal with weight class changes
Jan. 19, 2012 8:27 am
Prep wrestling coaches are taking one of the biggest changes of this season in stride.
Coaches have had to adapt to the new weight classes implemented by the National Federation of State High School Federations.
The increase includes three pounds to the lowest weight class, while eliminating a weight class between the 125 and 145-pound range and adding an upper weight. Four weights remain the same, including 145, 152 and 160. The heavyweight class also will remain at 285, keeping 14 weight classes.
