New York wrestling weight classes

Which NYSPHSAA weight classes are listed?

The cited handbook prints both state-specific lists. The page reports that published handbook reference without claiming that an old document path proves a newly issued 2026–27 amendment.

Why is New York’s thirteen-class boys’ list unusual?

A national thirteen-class chart may begin 107, 114 and 121. The New York handbook instead begins 101, 108 and 116 and has its own complete sequence. Removing one row from a fourteen-class preset would not reproduce it.

For a roster import, compare every number rather than only the total number of entries or the upper limit. A saved list from another state can look plausible while being wrong across most of the middle categories. Keep the state and program visible in the source filename and registration instructions.

Does the girls’ program simply use boys’ folkstyle rules?

The handbook’s girls’ section identifies a USA freestyle-based rules framework and state-specific modifications. It also prints the separate thirteen-weight girls’ sequence. A family should not infer the scoring system solely from the fact that the event is school wrestling.

Before entering a new season, check the current girls’ instructions for any changed adoption or modification. Do not present the national USA Wrestling chart as a replacement for the state’s published school list. The organization, season and program jointly determine the applicable entry and competition process.

What do Division 1 and Division 2 mean here?

NYSPHSAA’s school classification resources distinguish the divisions used in the relevant school competition. Those labels are separate from bodyweight. A 124 bracket in one division and a 124 bracket in another can both be valid destinations for different schools.

1. Identify the school’s actual competition division.
2. Choose the boys’ or girls’ program and its style instructions.
3. Read the full state-specific category sequence.
4. Match the intended entry to the school’s approved date-specific record.

How can a New York host avoid a misleading preset?

Give the division configuration a descriptive name including state and program. A generic “thirteen classes” label hides the essential difference from other states. Check a light, middle and upper category before opening the event.

In Smart Wrestler, inspect the actual offered options rather than assuming a saved preset certifies state compliance. Read the host guide.

Resolve unexpected values with the responsible school coach and keep one authoritative entry. A parent selecting 120 for boys from a previous event should receive a clear explanation of the applicable list, not an unexplained move to a nearby number or an instruction to change bodyweight.
