Section 9 Individual Preseason Rankings

Section 9 Wrestling
Individual Rankings – Combined D1/D2
Preseason

 

 

Well it’s that time of the year!!!!  Wrestling season kicks off this week with a several dual meets scheduled for Wednesday, so why not start off the season with some preseason rankings!!!  I mention this every year, but it’s worth repeating…

  1. Rankings, especially preseason rankings, are just an opinion.  They mean nothing!  The match is won or lost on the mat!
  2. Preseason ranking are especially tricky because there is a lot of guess work involved.  I do the best I can with the information that is provided to me.
  3. 99 pound weight class will not be ranked until the next rankings are released.
  4. Respectful comments and suggestions are welcomed to sectionixwrestling@gmail.com.
