Just beating a nationally ranked kid won’t get a wrestler ranked.  River Henry has 3 wins this season over top 20 nationally ranked wrestlers and he has not been able to get ranked by either intermat or Flo.  River hasn’t competed in the big events other than his 2nd at National Prep last year so he doesn’t have the exposure needed to get ranked. 

cbg I would add UWW, Flonationals, Cheesehead, Prep Nationals, NSHCA Senior Nationals, and  who’s number one to your list.  Getting AA at one of these and the ones on your list will help get a kid ranked.  

 KC STAMPEDE. Prep Slam, Freakshow, NSHCA freshman, sophomore and Junior nationals, Preseason Nationals, TOC, Grappler, anyone of the USA regionals, etc... are all solid tourneys that give a chance for kids to wrestle national ranked wrestlers but they are not they tourneys that getting AA will help get a wrestler national ranked. 

As far as state champs, I doubt there is evan a state champ in Ohio, NJ or PA that’s ranked without having an AA at one of the major tourneys.  It helps them where a TN state title doesn’t help our kids but they will still need more accolades to get ranked. 

If you look at our TN ranked kids,

1. Mason was on the World team .. enough said..

2. Kramer has back to back Super32 AA

3. Cooper(if we can still count him as a TN kid) Fargo AA, UWW AA, and Beast of East AA.  

 

Placing at Super 32 in one of the upper weights does not carry as much weight in the national rankings due to many of the better wrestlers participating in football.
