NFHS changes high school wrestling weights
The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) made a fairly major announcement Tuesday, revealing an overhaul to the weight classes used in high school wrestling. The move is not an out-of-nowhere surprise -- some sort of weight class changes have been batted around before -- but it's still significant: The last time high school weight classes received a major makeover was during the 1988-89 season. You can read a full story about the changes on GameTimePA.com here. Listed below are the original weight classes, and what the new ones will look like. Old --- New 103 --- 106 112 --- 113 119 --- 120 125 --- 126 130 --- 132 135 --- 138 140 --- 145 145 --- 152 152 --- 160 160 --- 170 171 --- 182 189 --- 195 215 --- 220 285 --- 285
