OSWrestle drops Dec 10 Rankings
Brant Parsons of the Orlando Sentinel is one of the people that ranks wrestlers in the state of Florida.
He ranks the top 20 in each weight in each classification. Because it is behind a paywall (which is very reasonably priced) I will not post his complete rankings here. I am a huge supporter of those that invest their time and effort into promoting the sport and am happy to say that I have a membership to the Orlando Sentinel (when I signed up it was just $1 a month for the first 6 months).
Interested in the rankings? You can find each at the links below. But here are the #1’s for each weight:
OSWrestle’s 3A Rankings
Things I noticed in 3A:
Probably not surprisingly - the #1’s are not evenly distributed across the 4 regions
Region 4 has 6 #1’s
Region 2 has 5
Region 1 has 2 and Region 3 has 1
Interestingly though the # of top 4’s is more much even amongst the regions
Region 4 has the most top 4’s with 18
Region 2 has 16
Region has 14
Region 3 has 8
No weight class has all 4 of the top 4’s, but 2 weights are dominated by a single region …
Region 2 has #2, #3, and #4 at 120
Region 1 has #2, #3, and #4 at 145
Things that stood out in 2A:
#1’s were not evenly distributed:
Region 2 leads the way in terms of #1’s - they have 8 of the 14
Region 3 is next with 4
Region 1 and Region 4 have just 1 each (McGill and Marshall)
Neither were the overall # of top 4:
Region 3 had the most with 22
Region 2 had 21
Region 4 had 7 and Region 1 had 6
No weight class had the top 4 from one region, but 3 weights had 3 from a single region:
Region 3 had #2, #3, and #4 at 106
Region 2 had #1, #2, and #4 at 113
Region 2 had #1, #2, and #3 at 145
A couple of things that stood out in 1A:
The #1’s were fairly evenly distributed over the 4 Regions
Region 1 (2)
Region 2 (3)
Region 3 (3)
Region 4 (5)
It changes a bit when you get to the top 4 for each weight. Assuming Brant is accurate in his rankings then I think you might conclude that Region 4 has the most depth …
Of the 56 spots (4 spots times 14 weights) Region 4 has 24 of those. 8 Region 4 wrestlers are ranked #2, 6 are ranked #3, and 5 are ranked #4.
That leaves 32 spots for the other 3 Regions …
Region 2 has the most with 14
Region 1 is next with 10 and
Region 3 has 8
No weight class has 4 wrestlers from the same region in the top 4 spots, but 2 weight classes have 3 of the top 4
Region 4 has 195’s #1, #3, and #4 ranked wrestlers
Region 4 has 285’s #2, #3, and #4 ranked wrestlers
