It was a great weekend for the Big Red. We had a doubleheader on Saturday, starting with a 1 p.m. match at Hofstra, and then culminating in a 6 p.m. Ivy League faceoff at Columbia. Over the course of the day, our guys only gave up eight offensive points.
For those of you who have [...]

Teaching Drills for Improving the BIG THREE: Part 3 Deadlift Drills
By John Gaglione
The Stick Good Morning
The Stick Good Morning is a great exercise to teach the deadlift. Many of the principles learned for the squat hold true for the deadlift as well. The athlete wants a tight upper back, brace abdominals, they want to [...]

arujau should be ranked higher. 112 was stacked last year
ken collado ova pecora
Herold Beat Meza 3 times already and took a-rod to overtime i think he should be up there
if it’s based only on state and county tournaments than how is joe kavanaugh on there and ken collado isnt
It’s not only based on state and county results; it’s based on the weight that the results were earned in, AND it’s based on previous year’s performance, but the most recent year’s performance is weighed more heavily.
This is an attempt to normalize the wrestlers against wrestlers at different weight classes. This power ranking weighs performance at the higher weights more heavily than at lower weights. Historical stats show that the lower weight classes favor the younger wrestlers because there are less upperclassmen in those weights, therefore, they are less experienced wrestlers and less physically mature wrestlers.
Let me give you some real stats on 2008 states. 88% of the competitors in the 96lb weight class were in 10th grade or less. In the 103lb weight class 63% of the competitors were in 10th grade or less. In the upper weights such as 145 and 171 100% of the wrestlers are 12th and 11th graders. Once you get above 125lb weight class, there are no competitors in the 9th, 8th, or 7th grades.
This ranking favors those weight classes with the most experienced wrestlers based on grade. There are many ways to compare against weight classes. This is just one approach. I do agree, though, that the formula needs to be tweeked some. We’ll work on that.
oh i was just wondering how that would be possible because pecora is up there and collado wasn’t even though he was a state champ at that weight. still a great job though
Wrestler, you are correct to point that out, though. The formula needs some tweeking, and I’ve been working on it. Collado should be ahead of Pecora. It doesn’t make sense that someone who placed lower at the same weight would be higher ranked.
to clarify…Collado was a state champ at 96 and Pecora placed 4th at 103. Still…makes sense that a state champ at any weight would be in the top 20…a 96 punder would understandably be ranked lower than a state champ at a higher weight though.
Isn’t Dutton going to Blair?
tjohn55, Dutton is at Rocky Point.
LIFAN, Collado won state at 103.
