What are the MYWAY wrestling weight classes?
By the Smart Wrestler team · Written from hosting and scoring the events this software runs · Updated 2026-10-19
MYWAY wrestling weight classes for 2026–27, with separate Open and Girls charts, birth-year bands, high-school groups and an event-entry example.
Quick answer
MYWAY publishes separate Open and Girls weight charts for the 2026–27 season, with divisions identified by birth year. Its age reference is December 31, 2026. Select the correct chart and birth-year band before choosing a class; the girls’ rows are not copies of the Open rows. High-school groups have their own published limits. The lists below are in pounds and retain MYWAY’s HWT labels. Check the specific event’s rules for entry eligibility, weigh-ins and any announced allowance.
Which weights appear in the 2026–27 Open chart?
| Birth years | Published classes |
|---|---|
| 2022 / 2021 / 2020 | 37, 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, 67, 77, HWT |
| 2019 / 2018 | 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, 67, 72, 77, 82, 97, 112, HWT |
| 2017 / 2016 | 54, 57, 60, 63, 66, 69, 72, 75, 78, 81, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110, 130, 150, HWT |
| 2015 / 2014 | 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 112, 119, 126, 133, 158, 183, HWT |
| 2013 / 2012 | 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 107, 114, 122, 130, 138, 145, 155, 170, 195, 220, HWT |
| 2012 / 2011 high school | 91, 101, 109, 116, 123, 129, 135, 141, 147, 153, 160, 168, 178, 193, 218, 288 |
| 2010 / 2009 / 2008 high school | 109, 116, 123, 129, 135, 141, 147, 153, 160, 168, 178, 193, 218, 288 |
The overlap involving birth year 2012 is a reason to check the division designation and high-school eligibility, not permission to select a row merely because it offers a convenient limit. Ask MYWAY or the host when an athlete’s school status creates uncertainty.
How does the Girls chart differ?
| Birth years | Published classes |
|---|---|
| 2022 / 2021 / 2020 | 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, 61, 67, HWT |
| 2019 / 2018 | 46, 51, 54, 58, 62, 66, 72, 78, 85, 95, HWT |
| 2017 / 2016 | 57, 62, 67, 72, 77, 86, 95, 105, 120, 130, 150, HWT |
| 2015 / 2014 | 70, 74, 84, 90, 96, 105, 112, 118, 128, 140, 155, 180, 200, HWT |
| 2013 / 2012 | 85, 95, 100, 108, 118, 128, 138, 148, 158, 178, HWT |
| 2011 / 2010 / 2009 / 2008 | 105, 115, 125, 138, 151, 166, 186, 205, HWT |
For example, the 2017/2016 Girls row starts at 57 and then 62, while the matching Open birth-year row includes 54, 57 and 60. Copying a sibling’s saved Open selection into a Girls entry can therefore create an invalid class.
Does MYWAY use the Michigan school chart?
No. MYWAY is a separate youth and club competition system. The MHSAA school list does not establish MYWAY divisions, and school weight certification does not automatically prove eligibility for every MYWAY event. The organization name on the event matters as much as the state where the gym is located.
Use the school reference only for the school program. Read Michigan school weight classes.
What should families check before selecting a class?
- Read the season heading and confirm the athlete’s birth year.
- Choose Open or Girls and resolve any high-school designation.
- Match the selected numeric class to the actual published row.
- Read the host’s weigh-in and eligibility instructions before paying.
MYWAY’s rules discuss declared weight and on-site audit procedures. An audit tolerance is not permission to add a blanket allowance to every chart entry. Keep the nominal class separate from whatever procedure the actual event publishes.
How should a coach check a batch of entries?
Review a small sample from each birth-year band before submitting the whole roster. Check the youngest athlete, a Girls entry and a high-school entry separately; those are different chart decisions. Store the division name alongside the weight rather than saving an isolated number.
In Smart Wrestler, an event organizer must configure the actual divisions the competition intends to offer. Do not assume a generic youth preset reproduces the MYWAY season chart. Compare the published packet with the registration options before opening entries to families.
Frequently asked questions
What date determines MYWAY age for this chart?
The published 2026–27 chart uses age as of December 31, 2026 and displays the corresponding birth-year bands.
Are Girls and Open weights identical?
No. They have separate rows, and several weight limits differ even for the same birth years.
Does HWT mean unlimited weight?
Do not infer that from the abbreviation alone. Follow the organization’s rules and event instructions for the division.
Can I use this chart for a 2027–28 entry?
No. It is the published 2026–27 chart. Recheck the next season’s official age and weight document.
