Wrestlers are ranked by their ANTICIPATED weights. As with any ranking system they are just my opinion, arrived at through MANY hours of research. The classifications are out this Friday and changes will be noted then.
Many factors are considered (Not always in this order):
1. State bracket performance. 2. Performance at national folkstyle tournaments. 3. National FS/GR success. 4. Information from Coaches and Parents. 5. Competition that the wrestler has faced.
IMPORTANT:
The input must include criteria! Asking, "Why is this guy above that guy" or saying, "I can't believe you have that guy ranked" is not criteria. Just state your evidence and if found substantive, I will change it. Also remember that we are still many weeks away from the first whistle so a lot can change and surely will.
I will update these rankings based on new information on weights or past criteria.
