Colorado wrestling weight classes

By the Smart Wrestler team · Written from hosting and scoring the events this software runs · Updated 2026-10-19

Colorado wrestling weight classes from CHSAA’s published adoption, with boys’ and girls’ lists and an explicit explanation of the chart’s document date.

Quick answer

CHSAA’s published Colorado weight-class adoption lists fourteen boys’ classes from 106 to 285 pounds and fourteen girls’ classes from 100 to 235. The linked chart was posted in the 2026 document library but the document itself is labeled 2022–2023; this page preserves that distinction. Check the current season bulletin before using the chart for a new event. The boys’ 120 class and girls’ 120 class share a number, but the surrounding sequences and competition divisions differ.

Which CHSAA weight classes are listed?

This transcription comes from the CHSAA chart itself, visually checked because the PDF contains an image rather than extractable weight text. A library upload date is not the same as a new adoption date.

Why does the document date deserve attention?

CHSAA’s library location includes March 2026, while the page heading within the PDF identifies the original adoption season. That is useful evidence of a published chart, but it would be misleading to describe it as a newly written 2026–27 chart. New season instructions must still be checked for amendments.

A coach sharing the list should send the document together with the relevant current bulletin. If the two disagree, ask CHSAA or the responsible school administrator which instruction controls. Do not settle the question by selecting whichever date looks newest in a search result.

What makes the girls’ fourteen-class list distinctive?

The girls’ sequence includes 105, 110, 115, 125 and 135. Those categories differ from a twelve-class girls’ adoption with 107, 114 and 126. A visiting team’s saved roster may therefore contain perfectly valid classes for its home state that do not appear in this Colorado chart.

For a multi-state event, state the actual adopted competition list in the invitation. Families should not need to infer it from the gym address. Label boys’ and girls’ divisions separately even where a number such as 120 or 190 appears in both.

How should a Colorado team validate an entry?

  1. Identify school competition and the event’s governing instructions.
  2. Check the current bulletin against the published CHSAA adoption.
  3. Use the athlete’s approved school weight-management record for individual eligibility.
  4. Confirm any announced weigh-in allowance without changing the nominal class label.

The national weight options explain why a Colorado list can differ from another state. They do not prove that an individual athlete is eligible to use a particular category on a given date. Keep that decision with the authorized school process.

What should hosts do before opening registration?

Compare the full offered list with the packet that schools receive. Test an entry from each division and review the heaviest category as well as the lightest. A correct 106 label at the top of a dropdown does not prove the remaining thirteen classes were copied correctly.

Smart Wrestler hosts can review the configured divisions before inviting teams. Read the host event workflow.

If a later official bulletin changes a class or procedure, contact affected coaches and resolve entries before generating brackets. Keep an explanation of the applicable source so a family sees one clear answer rather than competing screenshots from several seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Is 120 a Colorado school class?

It appears in both boys’ and girls’ lists in the cited CHSAA adoption. Check the current event instructions and individual eligibility.

Does the March 2026 library path prove a new weight adoption?

No. The chart itself says 2022–2023. This page keeps the original document date visible.

What does Colorado heavyweight mean in this chart?

The top nominal class is 285 for boys and 235 for girls; neither is an unlimited category.

Can a youth event in Colorado use another list?

Yes. A club or independent event can use a different governing framework. Read that event’s age and weight instructions.
