MAPS

First, an interactive heat map! (you might have to turn your phone sideways to get the full view)


A traditional heat map.


But we can't forget about the two non-contiguous states!



And lastly, we have our four international qualifiers.

Yonger Bastida (Trinidad) and Anthony Echemendia (Cabaiguan) are from Cuba.


Lachlan McNei is from Toronto, Canada.


And Yaraslau Slavikouski is from Rechitsa, Belarus.


Per Capita

Obviously, no state debate is complete without a per capita argument! Populations are from 2023 and statsamerica.org.

Points Per State Based On Seeds

I don't know how to make cool charts but thankfully I have friends at Flo that do and they hooked me up with this excellent chart showing how my points wrestlers from each state would score at NCAAs if they wrestled to their seed (not accounting for bonus points). 

My super cool and talented friends were also able to hook me up with a similar chart, only this time adjusting per capita of each state (and three countries). 

Hometowns

Here is what I have for wrestler's hometowns. These are taken from their official team roster, so if you don't like it, take it up with them!
