Here is the one's I have seen, with option B seemingly getting the most traction:
OPTION A: The weights were created from looking at the hydrated body weight at the time of assessment of 195,000 wrestlers from the NWCA Optimal performance calculator. Each weight class was created to have approximately 7.14% of the wrestlers. Equal distribution of wrestlers in each weight class. Eliminates one of the first three weight class. Combines 103, 112 and 119 into two weight classes.
110, 119, 125, 131, 136, 141, 146, 152, 159, 167, 177, 192, 216, 285
OPTION B: The weights were created from looking at the minimum wrestling weight (7% weight) at the time of assessment of 195,000 wrestlers from the NWCA Optimal Performance Calculator. Each weight class was created to have approximately 7.14% of the wrestlers. Equal distribution of wrestlers in each weight class. Adds an 'additional' weight class at the top. Creates a weight class in the low 180-pound range.
106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220, 285
OPTION C: The weights were based off using the hydrated body weight at the time of assessment of 195,000 wrestlers from the NWCA Optimal performance calculator. Percentages of distribution was between 7-8%. The first three weights were distributed in the mid 6% range. This ensured that you did not eliminate the 'small' wrestler not being represented. Data supports moving 103 to 107 would greatly increase the number of eligible wrestlers for the first weight class. Will decrease the large jump from 103-112-pounds. Changes the middle weight increments from 5-pounds to 6-pounds. Eliminates the large jump between 171-189-pounds. Makes that a 15-pound jump from 177-192-pounds. The prevalence of HS wrestlers (N=195,000) at each of these weight classes, there is an equal distribution (~7%) of wrestlers for each of the weight classes listed. In addition, when reviewing the national data on children from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES published 1995), these weight classes are consistent with the 5th - 95th percentile data on weight for adolescent males aged 15-19.
107, 115, 122, 128, 134, 140, 146, 152, 159, 167, 177, 192, 216, 285
