It is not uncommon for our school to get immigrants from other countries, who are held back a year or 2 when they attend school here in the U.S.
In the 2016 game manual, it's in section 3.1.1, T19, and the glossary. Note that "pre-college" is only used to define the drivers and human player and going to the question box.

The 2016 Admin manual only uses this term in section 6.1, in dealings with the Judge Advisor regarding awards questions.

Except for these few cases, there really doesn't seem to be anything mandatory about ages in the rules.
