Dom Munaretto is a 2022 Cadet World Champ and probably isn’t the on paper favorite with his loss to Carter Pearson at 16U Duals. Seven nationally ranked kids in a 16U bracket is absurd. This is it - the best bracket of the 16U tournament. Alexander Pierce also had a good Duals, beating Rocco Cassioppi and only losing to Sledzianowski. Burnett won at U17 Trials but Sledzianowski took rounds 2 and 3 at Duals. There’s a good chance we get round IV between Lincoln Sledzianowski and Grey Burnett which will have huge team implications. Now we’re starting to get to the meat of the 16U tournament. I think it’s between Landers and Sontz opposite side finalist to Muyleart. Similar to 94 lbs, Iowa is bringing a good pair of hammers in Gavin Landers and Mac Crosson. A Super 32 middle school champ in 2022, he took 2nd at U17 Trials this springs with wins over Liam Collins and Cameron Sontz. The only ranked competitor in the bracket, Kavin Muyleart is the favorite at 100 lbs. Iowa will be well represented by Nico Desalvo and Hayden Schwab. Wenrich won the most recent match by a score of 3-0. Wenrich won last fall in the Super 32 middle school 3rd place match before the two split at 16U Duals this year. Top contenders Brandon Bickerton and Breyden Wenrich have a nice little rivalry going. As should Loc Webber of Ohio, a Super 32 middle school placer and central regional champion. Eli Herring, younger brother of Fargo finalist Sam Herring, should do very well. Sometimes entered as Hudson, Ace is a hammer and potentially on a similar trajectory as his older brother.Īnother younger brother is a notable entry here at 88 lbs. Well I like to call Cody “Big Chitts” because Ace is “Little Chitts”. You’ve probably heard the name Cody Chittum. They both have a legitimate shot at getting multiple champs. While I don't think they have the numbers to really make a push, Tennessee and Georgia are going to have a great tournament. Illinois, New Jersey, and Wisconsin should all get a handful of AAs and maybe a champ or two. California and Ohio could also make a push and potentially win it if they have a good tournament. Iowa will likely make it interesting and I'm not counting them out, but PA is bringing so much quantity and quality to North Dakota. Pennsylvania has won it four-straight times and I think they make it a 5th.

This also means that highly ranked wrestlers with low criteria or no criteria could serve as hand grenades haphazardly thrown into a bracket to blow it up. As a rule of thumb, the wrestlers you see with high criteria are unlikely to meet until later in the tournament. Wrestlers meeting criterion #1 will be spread out from other #1s, etc. For the uninitiated, Fargo isn’t seeded, but the best wrestlers are separated based on the ten criteria below. Before diving into these weights, get caught up on the separation criteria that will be dictating the brackets.
