NEW 5A RANKINGS 2-1-24

Please see updates below. There may be some H-2-H results missing that are not in Trackwrestling. Was not able to provide commentary for all weight classes. 5A Region this weekend should be fun to watch. This will be the last 5A ranking of the season. 

Note:  This will most likely be my last season as the 5A ranker.  I have enjoyed it and hopefully provided fans with a good glimpse of the 5A talent.


106

#1 Hayden Barber Mills Godwin 9
#2 Colton Hepp Tallwood 10
#3 Zander Brewer Kellam 11
#4 Xavier Kovacs Great Bridge 9
#5 Seth Pringle Cox 11

This is a very tight #1 - #5. Barber has two quality losses against VHSL ranked opponents moving him to #1. Brewer was moved down based upon the loss to Hepp. Should make for an extremely tough weight class at the 5A regional tournament this weekend.

Tournament Team Rankings

These are based upon state tournament projections with bonus points. I realize that some of the lower ranked teams may have beat higher ranked teams in a dual, however dual Meets are scored H-2-H and do not take into account a tournament scoring format.
