Vermont Wrestling

I fleshed out what I could from recent feedback and results.  Thank You to all.  What you will notice is Lash dropped to #2 @ 125.  Reason being, no one can say for sure that Lash will make 125.  He obviously has weight cutting issues.  He missed weight at New Englands last year and missed weight at least twice this year and rumor has it maybe even three times (some one told me that they let him "slide" at Peru, NY).  No one has come out and said definitively that he will wrestle at states and if he does at what weight.  I was inclined to take him out of the rankings completely but held off. 

I mistakingly had Flynn from Vergennes ranked at both 140 and 145.  I paired that down to just 140.  Stratton moved in front of Weyant.   I also went three deep on best wrestlers per class.

I think most programs have concluded their regular season.  I certainly welcome the feedback and will consider one more update before states.  In order to do that I need more feedback.  If kids are bumping around for states, let me know so I can accurately adjust the rankings.  Also please check my accuracy on what year these kids are and post a reply with any corrections etc.  Thanks.
