Petition to add an NFHS Boys 15-weight classes option. This would address the significant gaps in the upper weights.

106,113,120,126,138,144,150,157,165,175,187,200,220,285

The demographics of the USA are different across the country. The average size of a wrestler can differ greatly between the East/West Coast and the Midwest/South regions of the country.

Participation and safety should be the highest priority to grow the sport of wrestling.

Please share.

The weight jump from 175 to 215 is way too much for a lot of these high schoolers. My son is stuck in the middle and it sucks.

Would help get/keep football kids in the sport so they don’t have to lose or gain a lot of weight to try and get a spot.
