I thought there would be a lot bigger turnout then that.  With it being a national meet why are the top 2 only considered all americans?

Turnout at youth national tournaments usually isn't huge.  Never more than 20 in a weight usually around 10.  The difference is the level of competion.  The numbers at these tournaments isn't what makes them a national tournament.  It is that every wrestler that shows up thinks he can win it.
