You can do the same calculations for females using the 2x multiplier as minimum and 2.5-2.75 as optimal. These numbers are not just made up, see image below for multipliers for mlb players. Field sports are contact sports or require lots of force. These minimal body weights are there to minimize risk of injury. Body weight is important for performance and health.
My 11yo daughter (heavily involved in softball) is 5'3, 145lbs, and as of a few weeks ago the dr told us that she is in the 96th percentile for weight so I can see the 2X multiplier being ideal for most sports and the 2.5-2.75 being more ideal for your track/powerlifting athletes that need the added strength.
She obviously has a few more years till HS but we are going to be starting to lift once our fall season is over. Im hoping that the lifting will actually help her shed some of that weight to be more agile.

Lifting will help her build muscle and shred some of the body fat but understand at that age the hormones are not going crazy yet so won’t see tons of change right off the bat, much much slower. Hit them hip thrust.
The ppsa a plan minus cardio would be great place to start. Start month 1 with like first super set pairings plus heavy farmers walks. 2nd month add second pairing plus farmers walk. Then add third….etc
As far as the multipliers that is for high school athletes to shoot for by senior year. Doesn’t work for younger kids at all.
