2019-20 High School Rankings

145

Lachlan McNeil (PA) cemented himself at the top of the rankings with a strong performance at Powerade. The rest of the weight class isn’t on such strong footing.

Beast of the East results directly contradicted many Ironman and Super32 results creating a mess from #4-#9. We went with recency and Manzona Bryant (OH) was the big winner moving to #4 with the title at the Beast.

Fidel Mayora (IL) was defeated by Connor Gaynor (IL) at Dvorak and slid a few spots, but his strong Ironman kept him in the top 15.

Injuries are part of the sport, and a slippery slope for rankers. Sometimes wrestlers are taken out of the rankings for known injuries that are going to keep them out of action for a prolonged period, and sometimes wrestlers are left in the rankings. To make it clear for anyone tracking the high school rankings, we will be pulling wrestlers that have not wrestled yet this season by the conclusion of the January 11th tournaments. Some wrestlers that have teammates that are in consideration for ranking spots have already been pulled from the rankings, and will be inserted back into the pool when they resume competition. This often happens with a weight class change. We want consistency, and the current wrestlers to be active to give a fair representation of the wrestling that is taking place at each weight class. 

Doc Buchanan,  Geary, The Gut Check, The Clash and 5Counties headline the upcoming schedule.
