I wrestled in high school. Are you a California wrestler? In California we recently started the body fat weight certification...I would recommend start working out right now...Some sort of cardio or HIIT. Drink lots of water. Since you're starting pretty early, you can keep your calories low but not too low.
You shouldn't get below 1500 calories per day, but if the time starts to come the week of and you're close to the weight, you're gonna have to crash diet. It's not healthy, but this is coming from a wrestler who crash dieted his way through high school wrestling. My caloric intake was maybe approaching 1000 for the week and I would drink tons of water, and then the last night and day before I would almost completely cut out drinking anything.
But if you're doing body fat test, you have to be hydrated. My dad is an official here in California and he does the weight certification. He told me that you don't need to drink much more than 2.5 bottles of water about an hour or two before to be properly hydrated for the hydration test, but it probably varies for each person. You're gonna want to get about 2.5 pounds below your weight though before you drink that water because it's going to be water weight that's going to be added onto the scale. Good luck
