I'd say the 3 toughest tournaments in the country are #1 Fargo, #2 Beast of the East, #3 Ironman.

I highly doubt that they will even be ranked top five. Sorry to burst your bubble, and who do they have that makes them so stacked?

East Coast Killa   November 2, 2008 at 7:00pm
NorthHampton and CD ranked too high! Not top 5 worthy but very good. Eastern Rgional and St. Marks are 2 teams that will end top 10 IMO...Beast should be interesting...7 of those top 20 will be there!!!!! Maybe 8?????

McDonogh is private also.

why are there no teams from michigan ranked? Michigan is top 10 overall for sure. We should have some teams. We produce very good college wrestlers, not at the level of OH, or PA but very good wrestling state.

Brian Krenzelak   October 30, 2008 at 8:46pm
it would be nice to have some sort of national team tournament at the end of the year with qualifying standards such as 1st in their state, winner of major major tournament etc.

Park Hill MO is returning 5 fargo AA's. They will be tougher than Holt MO and Oak Park MO this year.

Michigan   October 30, 2008 at 7:30pm
No Michigan Teams? Rockford returns a 3x state champ senior @ 119 (state champ favorite), a 2x state runner up junior @ 160 (state champ favorite), a 3x placer and 2008 runner up senior @ 140 (state champ favorite, 2x placer junior @ 125 (a state champ favorite), plus has state placers returning at 171 (a state champ favorite), 215 (state champ favorite) and heavyweight. Not to mention they have one of the top feeder programs in the state. A montana team ranked though? It's a weaker state, but who knows, I've never seen a Montana team wrestle.

Harve?   October 30, 2008 at 5:09pm
Town in Montana where Mt. State Northern is. Maybe they are talking about the NAIA wrestling team they have?
