Two of New Jersey's best wrestlers will renew their rivalry dating back to childhood when Robbie Howard takes on Trevor Mastrogiovanni at Who's #1.

Howard, currently ranked #1 at 120lbs because he is wrestling 55kg at Cadet worlds, will be moving up to 126 during the regular season for Bergen Catholic. This will be his third time representing Team USA at worlds, plus his Youth Olympic Games gold last year.

Mastrogiovanni, a rising senior at Blair Academy, is ranked #1 at 126 and is a tree-time National Prep champ. He was the highest placing 57kg high schooler in Vegas at the Junior Open, beating Patrick McKee, Eric Barnett, Cevion Severado, and Wyatt Henson.

The last time these two met was in Akron 2018, with Howard winning 5-1 in the quarterfinals. As the higher ranked man, he made the call that the match will be freestyle. The contested weight will be 126, with no allowance.

This will be Howard's second appearance at Who's #1, having lost to Patrick McKee back in 2017.
