There is a reason the Walsh Jesuit Ironman is such an important event for college coaches: It features some of the best high school wrestlers from the toughest high school programs in the country. By the time the brackets are whittled down to the quarterfinals, it's safe to say that every wrestler you're watching has either already committed or is being scouted heavily. 

To answer the titular question, 'Which college won the Walsh Jesuit Ironman?' we looked at the top eight placers from the tournament, assigned them NCAA placement points (20, 16, 13.5, 12.5, 10, 9, 6.5, and 5.5) and attributed them to the school to which they have committed. That gave us the following ranking. 

Congratulations to the Mountain Hawks of Lehigh for "winning" the 2019 Walsh Jesuit Ironman! They had one champ in Drew Munch and three other placers in Manzona Bryant, Chris Barnabae, and JT Davis.

Lehigh had the most commitments place, with four. Ohio State had two commitments, Paddy Gallagher and Seth Shumate, but they both won, allowing the Buckeyes to claim the second place trophy on our fake and totally made-up ranking. Interesting, West Virginia came in fourth place with three recruits who all placed at 152-pounds.

It's worth remembering that this ranking is a snapshot of the current situation, and that if we do a retrospective in a few years after everyone who participated at the 2019 Ironman has made their collegiate decision, the order may have drastically changed.

There are also many wrestlers who did not place that will end up being blue-chip recruits and many blue-chip recruits that did not wrestle at the Ironman. This is not a substitute for a recruiting class ranking, just a fun way to frame the results from this year's tournament. 

And if we missed anyone who placed and has committed somewhere, please let us know. A list of everyone we noticed who both placed and has made a public commitment can be found below.
