The 2024 VISAA state championships were a huge success. The venue was incredible, the refs were improved and the link to the free professional pictures was next level. With that said, what weight class was the most competitive? Reasoning appreciated, post below.

132 was the deepest in my opinion and the top 2 are national class preps.

Gonna need multiple votes here. 132, 138, 150, 157, 165. The rest were pretty soft outside top two competitors.

By most competitive do you mean the one where the skill gap between kids was lower but not necessarily the most skilled of the bunch? Ex. a weight that has 1 or 2 clear all Americans but isn’t as deep vs a weight that doesn’t but has more kids all in a similar tier of skill.

Good question, I'm going to define it as the smallest difference between say the top 8. I'm not voting, but I will make the case that 120 was the most competitive. On the championship side of the bracket, the semi-finals and finals match (3 matches) were decided by a total of 18 points (2 decisions and a major). The consolation semi-finals were decided by a fall and a decision with the consi-finals decided in SV. The top 4 at 120 seemed pretty closely matched.

At 175- the 2v3 seed in semis went to SV. Then the 3rd place match came down to the wire. Most of the finals matches were clear cut (all weigh classes). So looking at 3 thru 8 is why I think 175 was at least in the conversation.

I agree most championship matches were clear. 215 had to be the biggest upset of the tourny. |
