SBLive's National High School Wrestling Rankings (7/12/2024)

As the nation's top high school wrestlers, including 2024 seniors, head to the world's largest tournament in Fargo, we take a look at our current national high wrestling rankings

We have reached the United States Marine Corps 16U and Junior Nationals, more commonly referred to as “Fargo.” It is the largest wrestling tournament in the world and provides the perfect time to take an updated look at the SBLive Sports National High School Wrestling Rankings. There will be one final update to the rankings post-Fargo before outgoing seniors will be removed and incoming freshman will be added.

The seniors are still eligible to wrestle in this event and all the others that occurred throughout the summer, so they remain in the rankings. No one has been removed for inactivity since the season ended and wrestlers are slotted at the last weight at which we saw them compete.

We have moved wrestlers around based on the Fargo roster releases that began rolling out over the last few weeks. Although we do recall some of them being inaccurate last year, that may be due to guys wanting to drop to a lighter weight while others may not be able to make the cut and are moving up a weight, above where they planned to compete.

That brings us to 106 and Wisconsin’s Haakon Peterson, who according to Wisconsin’s roster release will be at 106. There was an article on USA Wrestling’s site saying he would be at 126, where he essentially was for the U20 World Team Trials (57 KG). Peterson was up at 126 during the high school season for a stretch but was down at 113 for the state tournament. We’ve ranked him at 106 since we have seen multiple sites that have him slotted to compete at 106 for Fargo.

One win can’t make your losses go away. We see this with Georgia’s Teequavious Mills, who beat Minnesota’s Turner Ross at the 16U Freestyle Duals, but was just sixth at the NHSCA Sophomore Nationals and lost to Hayden Schwab (Iowa) at the 16U Duals. Mills’ losses at NHSCAs were to Christopher Swann (Georgia), Kole Davidheiser (Pennsylvania), and Brandon Cynar (Virginia), who will bet at 113 for Fargo.

We tend to favor Folkstyle results and allow the Olympic Styles to inform the rankings since 80% of our rankings are based on Folkstyle results. The big reason for this is the fluky nature of the Olympic Style results, where you can get a takedown to a leg lace and tech-fall your opponent before he even has a chance to bounce back.

At 113, we are splitting the difference with Iowa’s Alexander Pierce. Pierce lost to Gavin Landers (Iowa) at PNL – Nebraska, then at the FS U17 US Open, Pierce beat Ohio’s Rylan Seacrist and split matches with another Ohioan, Grey Burnett. Pierce lost to Indiana’s Jensen Boyd at the FS 16U National Duals, so it’s impossible to clearly rank him.

Killian Colucci (New Jersey, 113) has some big wins, but recent results have pulled him down, none bigger than a FS loss to Pennsylvania’s Kamdyn Borrero at the Northeast Regional. There is also a pair of losses to Alex Diaz (Pennsylvania) at the NFS Duals and the NHSCA Memorial Day Weekend Duals.

We’ve come across a few omissions from California’s Fargo roster in an article by WIN Magazine. The Cortez boys, Isaiah (132) and Elijah (138), as well as Aden Valencia (138) were not listed on the roster we saw, but WIN is picking them to reach the finals in some of the Freestyle and Greco Roman picks. We have moved them to the appropriate weight based on this article.

We put Valencia at No. 1 at 138 since Ben Davino (Illinois) and Sergio Vega (Arizona) have spilt matches. Another thing of note at 138, it seems most are unaware, or overlooking, Georgia’s Drew Gorman taking two losses this spring and summer to Pennsylvania’s Eren Sement and California’s Jesse Grajeda.

Grajeda took a loss to Nevada’s Drake Hooiman at the US Open and lost to Idaho’s Carson Exferd at the Reno Tournament of Champions during the regular season, but beat Elijah Cortez at states, so we slotted him around those wrestlers. But Grajeda is another wrestler that is truly difficult to rank given the range of his results.

Sam Herring (Pennsylvania) beat Sement at the NFS Duals and handed Elijah Cortez a loss at the Junior National Duals in FS, where he also beat Oklahoma’s Thomas Verrette. Herring also defeated Tahir Parkins and Tyler DeKraker at the PA FS states.

Another California discrepancy involves Daniel Zepeda, who we originally saw would be at 144, but the WIN article indicates he will be at 150. Zepeda was at 144 for the National Duals, where he suffered a loss to Pennsylvania’s Pierson Manville, so we left him amongst those grapplers.

A couple more notes, we have not seen a roster for Oklahoma, so we left their wrestlers where we last saw them. According to WIN Magazine, Kody Routledge is now up at 165. He was at 74KG (163lbs) for the World Team Trials but at 70KG (154) for the US Open. It seems the move up in weight for the trials was because of growth and not choice as WIN has him slotted at 165. Routledge is No. 5 at 165, ahead of him is WIN’s other pick for the finals, Wisconsin’s Charlie Millard, who beat Routledge at the U20 WTT in FS.

North Dakota’s LJ Araujo was not listed on his state’s Fargo roster, but WIN has picked him as a finalist at 175lbs. Araujo won Super 32 at 165 but competed at 172 during the high school season. We have moved him up and ranked him No. 3, right behind William Henckel (Connecticut), who wrestles at Blair Academy in New Jersey. WIN has picked Araujo and Henckel to be the 175lb FS final.

We have done our best to get the wrestlers in the right weight classes. Coming across conflicting information made that chore a bit more difficult, so if we have guys in the wrong weight class, it’s not because of laziness or not doing research. In fact, our research led to the discovery of the uncertainty with weight classes.
