Until they upgrade to Cat 4s. Or they are women (where Cat 4 is the lowest level).
My daughter was a junior who mostly raced as a Cat 4 as there were very few junior races and even fewer junior women's races. Even racing as a Cat 4, the field was often 3-4 or even 1 - 4. She did well enough to upgrade to a Cat 3 while still a junior.
