All wrestlers now have an extra 2 pounds so many of them have made their cut….the question is will they stay there???  Rankings are supposed to get easier as the season progresses.  The results of the matches should basically dictate who gets ranked where.  For some reason, it’s not working out that way so far!  I spent more time on this ranking than any previous one.  Special thanks to my good friend Tim Monahan as well as a few other contributors who would prefer to remain anonymous.  Their opinions and insight are truly appreciated…plus it allows me to share the blame when people yell at me!!!  Enjoy!

With holiday tournaments behind us, and the Eastern States Classic only two weeks away, what better time than now to release the first edition of the NYS Individual Rankings.  Like last year, D1 and D2 will be combined.

Please keep in mind that these rankings are only the opinions of a few people who collaborated on this project.  They are meant to be fun and to create conversation.  The mission of this and other wrestling websites is rather simple…we love the sport and we are trying to promote it in a positive manner.  Please keep this in mind when critiquing these rankings.  Without further ado, here are the rankings.  Enjoy!
