As 14 weight classes will still run through a line-up, changes only occur in 7 weight classes. This happens seldom as the VHSL executive committee approved these changes last May with new classes slated as: 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 157, 165, 175, 190, 215, 285. Last year the wrestling weight classes were: 106 pounds, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. The adjustments occurred in the following class:
144 - was 145 215 - was 220 Six classes from 144 to 220 are bundled closer together and at a lower weight from 1-lb to 7-lbs. Here is the Girls weight classes for the 2022-2023: 100, 106, 112, 118, 127, 136, 146, 156, 170, 185, 225. While High School wrestling competition will begin matches in early December wrestlers currently will look to be certifying at one of the weight classes. Growth pounds dates for the 2022-23 is as follows: Wrestlers will receive a one-pound growth allowance on December 24 and an additional one-pound growth allowance on January 24. Rule on wrestlers making scratch weight: • A wrestler must make scratch weight at some time prior to the postseason to qualify for postseason at that weight class. • Wrestlers must have at least one official competition weigh-in at scratch weight for a weight class and participate that day at that event at that weight class or one weight class above to be eligible for postseason participation at the weight class they weighed in at.
