California Pride: 10 wrestlers in 9 classes Ranked

I was cruising through TheWrestlingTalk forums and thought I would take a look at the high school wrestling rankings. They’ve got the top twelve of the nation in each weight class listed. Being a typical Californian, I have a little pride, so decided to search for my home-state wrestlers that were ranked.

While there weren’t any first-place finishers, it was good to see that 9 weight classes were represented by good ‘ol California with 10 wrestlers filling the brackets. Their names are below. Good job!

About Jon

I started wrestling my freshman year of high school in 2000 in Northern California. My first match lasted about 16 seconds and ended with me on my back. I am proud to say that my second one lasted a bit longer, but sad to report that it ended the same way. That year was my hardest year. I lost every match except for one. My sophomore year I threw out my back and couldn’t wrestle but I still showed up to practice nearly every day and became the general “mat monkey.” Junior year I was back. This was the year that I suffered most of my injuries. I broke fingers, cracked ribs and dislocated both my shoulders at the same time. It was also the best record I had.
