This past wrestling season IAwrestle.com debuted our Iowa High School folkstyle wrestling rankings. Since the state wrestling tournament ended most of those wrestlers have been focusing on wrestling Freestyle and Greco-Roman during the summer. We are now excited to do the very first set of FRECO wrestling rankings for the state of Iowa!
These rankings will be a combination of Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. However, we will have two separate age groups with Cadet rankings as well as Junior rankings. We love seeing kids that wrestle both styles but also know that some of the top ranked wrestlers in the state only do one or the other and try to rank them accordingly. These rankings favor the wrestlers who have gone out and competed against the best of the best. Wrestlers who wrestled in events like the State tournament, Northern Plains, Junior Duals, & Fargo nationals will be rewarded for going after that competition.

Straw at junior 152?
@ Junior 145, Stroker did not compete in any of the aforementioned events and is ranked #1?
Max Thomsen won the Northern Plains Junior Tournament, later Stroker defeated Thomsen at the Junior World Team Trials which is why he got the #1 ranking.
Thanks for the feedback!
