Who's #1 has grown into one of the premier wrestling showcases in the nation, and this year's set of matches at the Snake Pit in Bethlehem, PA, on Oct. 8 are going to raise the bar even more.

Not only are there 9 matches that feature a No. 1-ranked high school wrestler, but there will also be a female match for the first time in WNO's five-year history. Cadet world bronze medalists Macey Kilty and Gracie Figueroa will face off in a freestyle battle of Fargo champions. There will also be a pair of world champs making their WNO debuts as Kurt McHenry (113) and Will Lewan (152) battle Malik Heinselman (113) and Brayton Lee (152), respectively.

Jody Strittmatter will once again be our honorary coach for this year's event and joining him will be Izzy Martinez. Strittmatter will coach the green team, and Izzy will be in the corner for the black team.
