Probably next week. The goal is for this to somewhat project the end of the season, so I want to rank kids at the weight I expect them to compete in at the end of the year and not move them around as they bounce between weights all season. This next update should reflect weights that almost every kid has participated in. Kids who don't have results should get removed or moved to the weight they have competed at. Coaches are busy and don't always get the results in very timely.

Only get one kid per team per weight. Had Nottingham ranked for Boyd. That will be adjusted now that we have results in track.

Not sure what you are referring to about Ruiz. Martin is ranked just ahead of Ruiz. When he beats higher ranked kids or those kids have losses that would indicate such, he will move up. And fyi, when he is moved to 113 his ranking will not improve. He has losses to Cano (Great Crossing) and Mort (Central Hardin) who is ranked #17. Again, Fuller lost to White (Henry Clay) who is ranked #23 at 138, so until he has wins to justify his ranking it will be tough to get there. It is great to see Mason County making strides. Hope they do well at region and beyond.

The only ranked win I see on track is against #29 Jones who he also has a lost to. I wouldn't say that much of an oversight quite yet.

Let's start the new year off with a fresh set of rankings. I did a fairly thorough run through of a ton of results. But it is only as good as the coaches are with putting results in the system. I will give wrestlers/coaches about 2 weeks and I will then remove anyone that I can't find any results in track. Rankings notes: - Union has a substantial gap on the field. If Jordyn doesn't compete that puts a dent in their lead, but doesn't totally erase it. JC and PT are the clear 2-3 teams, but they also have some question marks in their lineups. We should see get a better sense of those items in the next couple weeks. I have Ryle and Boyle close for 4-5, then another group with SK, OC, and Harrison at 6-8. - It feels like we have a number of "next topic" weights. Although I am hopeful that we see contenders step up to challenge. But a couple of weights are starting to look REALLY interesting. For me, those are 126 and 144. We should get a good look at both of these weights at the Warhawk this weekend at Great Crossing. Rankings_24_25_0101.pdf

I've occasionally compared. I think where 100% data driven can have issues is weight changes and weird results. It is also dependent on accurate information getting into track in a timely manner. But overall it does a solid job. BIG catch, it is a paid service now. With all of the services we are all paying for these days, it is hard to justify paying to view rankings. They do have some cool statistical data that some like. I think Dr Baker keeps us updated with the pin leaders on a regular basis.

Ironically enough, that's what everyone does.

A little more of a comprehensive ranking update here. I pulled out anyone I did not see on a roster. And will likely pull anyone that I don't see results for by the first week of January. I'm expected to see a number of weight changes coming in the next few weeks. Still a couple weights that need to be filled out as we see more competition and results in the system over the next couple weeks. Rankings_24_25_1218.pdf

Based on what I see on track that was a different guy for Mason County

I like it. And I like your list. I will make a couple slight adjustments and caveat that we may be shortchanging some of the upper weights, but I don't think we have seen enough of them compete outside the state to know how they stack up. 1. Jordyn Raney 2. Jayden Raney 3. Jackson Wells 4. George Dennis 5. Landon Evans 6. TJ Meyer 7. Miller Brown 8. Ethan Davis 9. Jonah McCloskey 10. Lucas Rickets 11. Isaac Johns I feel like the top 3 is a lock. 4-7 feel sort of like a tier of their own and slot themselves based on fairly recent results. Ethan beat Jonah last time they met up at state (I've spent countless hours with both of these kids in the barn, so I really want to see them both get a title). Lucas probably too low for me with his Fargo plaques, but they are greco and this is folk. I should probably check out some of his freestyle and ironman matches to make an informed call on this one. I added 11 just because. And he didn't offer any $.

At this point in the season, last year drives a lot of it. But as results come in it is all about the wins and losses. Both wins and losses. I know you had a solid win this weekend, but also had a questionable loss last weekend. So you are on the radar, but still need to see more.

This is not quite a comprehensive update, but there have been a lot of weight changes and some match results reflected here from the first couple weeks of the season. Results are slowly trickling into track and we should have ALL of the football guys back in the next week or so. Rankings_24_25_1210.pdf

Thanks Nathan! And agree 100%. I know particular event can be tough to get into and is really dependent on coach/school doing the legwork, but many more of our wrestlers need to put it on the line and be willing to take a couple butt kickings to experience the opportunity and potential glory. We definitely have kids that can compete. Just have to take the chance.

DUH! Savannah. I was thinking Tanya.

In 2020?
