The Best of the Best: Top Returning Wrestlers Rankings
The mats are being rolled out and the new season is almost here. Who’s on top? Who’s ready to make the leap? And who’s defending the crown?
Athletes are ranked using a robust model that analyzes their complete match history - including win-loss records, quality of victories (pins, tech falls, major decisions), strength of opponents faced, and historical performance patterns - to predict how each wrestler would perform against others in their weight class, creating rankings that reflect true competitive ability rather than just simple win percentages.
Dive into the class-by-class breakdowns below to see who to watch in the hunt for a state title.
