"The Small Schools DO NOT like to wrestle the Big Schools and continually state that it is not fair"
Why does it matter if its not fair? To me it shows that the coaches saying this are not willing to go above and beyond for their kids on a yearly basis. Yes resources are limited but it should...

Before a True State tournament can be discussed, how about reducing the 4 divisions to 3? The most watered down division would be D4 so why not make it tougher? Some teams ran away with state titles last year so strengthening the rosters for the divisions should create exciting state...
It would be a good idea to run a 1 division tournament. I like the idea of having sections, divisions, then a state tournament. I do not agree however that only the top 4 from each division go to state. Division 1 is a lot more tougher than division 4 so the AIA would have to evenly match every...
Top 3 from all 5 sections will go to state with a wild card to qualify in order to make a 16 girl bracket. The state tournament however will only place top 4 so there will be a consolation bracket. No team title so it will only be strictly individual.
How will the qualification work? In terms of how many girls get to go to state in terms of placing in the 5 sections and how big will the brackets be at state?
All of the above. I try to compile the best rankings not based on bias. I do want to apologize in advance if i missed any kids. I also try to base it off the level of the tournaments attended.

Rankings based on research on track wrestling results (Hypothetical of course so do not get in your feelings, They're in no particular order so the discussion can be made that some spots should flip) UPDATED 1/8/2019

Any rumors on who will be attending the school? I heard some rumors that a few top kids from some elite high schools in the state will be attending there.
Just wondering if there is any new information regarding the new charter school that is being opened for wrestling. If so, who is transferring there and how will this affect the rankings across AIA'S 4 divisions?
I am looking for a varsity tournament before sectionals, preferably in the month on January. If you have any in the Phoenix area or maybe the next town over please let me know.
