In international competition, the men's shot weighs 7.26 Kg (16 pounds) and the women's shot weighs 4 Kg (8.8 pounds).

In high school competition in the US, boys use a 5.44 Kg (13.2 pounds) shot and girls use a 4 Kg shot.

5,44 kg is 12 pounds not 13.2.

So to clarify, in high school boys use 12 pounds and girls use 8.8 pounds (just like in international competitions).
