Minnesota wrestling weight classes

Which MSHSL weight classes are listed?

The MSHSL modification expressly selects the NFHS thirteen-class option, and the permit forms print the actual boys’ and girls’ numbers. Their document dates are retained.

Why does Minnesota use 107 and 121 instead of 106 and 120?

NFHS offers state associations more than one class-count option. MSHSL’s published modification selects thirteen, and its boys’ permit lists the corresponding sequence. This is a complete adoption, not the fourteen-class chart with one category deleted.

A team importing entries from a neighboring fourteen-class state should compare every number. Minnesota’s 133, 139, 145, 152, 160, 172 and 189 also differ from several familiar categories. Correcting only the lightest class would leave many invalid choices in the registration form.

What does the girls’ permit form establish?

The female permit form prints a thirteen-class girls-only list beginning 100, 106, 112 and 118. It also includes the boys’ event list separately. That layout is a reason to read the heading above the row rather than assume every number on the page belongs to the same competition.

The form records a professional recommendation and school weight permit information. Its existence does not let an event volunteer assign a new minimum. Use the authorized school record and current governing instructions for the athlete’s participation. Keep personal assessment details out of the public bracket.

How do the dated modification and forms work together?

The July 2025 modification verifies the thirteen-class adoption, while the forms spell out the numbers. Those sources answer the chart question, but a new-season procedural requirement still needs the latest school instructions. A copied form can remain a useful reference without being described as newly issued.

1. Check for an updated MSHSL modification or permit before the season.
2. Select the actual boys’ or girls-only row.
3. Verify the athlete’s approved class and competition date.
4. Use the host packet for entry deadlines and weigh-in reporting.

What should a Minnesota event host test?

Try a boys’ 121 entry and a girls’ 118 entry in the configured event. If either is missing while a fourteen-class alternative appears, inspect the preset before accepting more registrations. Testing a middle category can expose a wrong adoption more quickly than checking only the heavyweight limit.

In Smart Wrestler, division configuration should mirror the published competition. Review the host guide.

When a family expects 120 from another event, ask the coach to confirm the appropriate school-approved category. Explain the chart difference clearly rather than implying that a one-pound naming difference can be resolved by an athlete changing weight.
