2. Performance at national folkstyle tournaments.
3. National FS/GR success.
From the original post on this thread


Nathan's 3rd place finish WAS at a folkstyle tournament, 2012 ASICS/USAW Jr/Cadet Folkstyle Natls, which includes both Jrs/cadets. So this alone should give him the nod. Look at the competition
Junior - 285
1st Place - Adam Coon of WOW
2nd Place - Cole Johnson of De Soto Wrestling
3rd Place - Nathan Butler of Leavenworth County Spartans
4th Place - Jeremy Brazil of ISI
5th Place - Riley Delzer of Oconto Falls
6th Place - Nathan Jackson of Tuttle High School
7th Place - Donte Winfield of Perry Meridian
8th Place - Collin Jensen of South Dakota
If you want to say these are folkstyle rankings then FS/GR should not be factored in at all. Are these rankings for the best FOLKSTYLE wrestlers in the state or the best WRESTLERS in the state? Like I said if this is all about folkstyle than summer wrestling shouldn't be considered, Because Nathan is clearly the BEST ALL AROUND 285 wrestler in the state.

Again Nathan wins 3 of the 5 so called factors used to determine the rankings out right. But of course you are going to side with Chief, it's what everyone on this forum expects.
