Ok Will Hamilton needs to be moved up to #4 as he might be #3 in my opinion. Him and Linder would be a good match but he will absolutely beat mastroianni and the kid from RHAM in his sleep. Next why is Arnold ranked above McCarthy @ 120? Next Conniglio needs to be moved to 3 at 126. That’s what I think after briefly looking. One more is Mannino of Wilton should be ranked 2 over Aldi.

@sweep the leg!
Thanks for the feedback, really do appreciate it. In response:
I don't see that Will Hamilton has beaten anyone ranked above him. I don't typically move guys up until they beat someone above them. That being said, 106 is always tough as they are almost all freshman with very little history prior to this year to go off. I feel good about the top 3 (see Bristol Central inv results, Hamilton lost to Lindner 10-2). I do see though that Hamilton beat a guy that beat Mastroianni, so I'll move him up one (will be updated next week after the weekend results).
@120 is a tough weight. Last weekend, at the Colter Abely, McCarthy went 1-2 and did not place. McCarthy was pinned by Stankowksi (E. Lyme) who was beat by Jutcawitz 11-2 (Jutcawitz placed 5th). #1 @120 is obvious, but 2-6 is a bit of a gauntlet and I wouldn't be surprised if the RHAM wrestler (Kanaitis) sneaks into the top 6 at the tournament (Kanaitis placed 6th at his class tournament last year). I'm going to leave it as is. This weekend MCarthy wrestles at the CT Challenge at Southington, we'll see how he does and reevaluate.
Regarding Conniglio, #3 or #4, not that significant a change. Powell-Keyton of New London placed 4th at the state open tournament last year @106. You get a lot of credit for that in the rankings. I'll wait to make a move on that one.
Moving guys up or down is fine, my big concern is that a wrestler makes the finals or even wins the consi finals (3rd place) and I don't even have him on my radar. I would feel like a big miss then. Up or down a spot or two does not really fuss me much (unless I missed a head to head match).
Thanks for your comments though, keeps me checking results.

Thanks, the flo result was not posted when i updated the rankings on my spreadsheet Monday evening.
120 pounds is a conundrum. Arnold beat Davern, Davern beat Jutcawitz, Jutcawitz placed ahead of McCarthy at both the BC invitational and the Colter Abely Classic. McCarthy beat Arnold. So....Do I move Kanaitis all the way up to #2?
Its a tough call, I have not seen many results with Kanaitis. Keyton from New London should be #2 imo

Jutcawitz placed higher than McCarthy at both the Bristol Central and Colter tourneys. I think he has the win over Arnold, but has more losses than the guys ahead of him.

Arnold pinned DiVito who beat McCarthy 5-3 (at least that was how it was listed in flo, it could've been wrong). He also beat Aldi twice this year who beat McCarthy 10-3 at BC, but Arnold lost to McCarthy 7-4. I would move McCarthy to #4.

Class L rankings are updated with the weekends results. I added some honorable mentions. Why? Cause I like these kids and wanted them on the list somewhere.
113 was especially fun. The top 3 I think are pretty good, but 4-6 is a crapshoot. Donaldson(New Milford) has beaten Lishness (Bristol Eastern), Lishness has beaten Kasson (Simsbury), and Kason has beaten Donaldson. So I made my best guess, but feel free to argue something different.

I agree about Robertson. He looked good at Ridgefield. Dominated a very tough Kyle Hamill in the finals.

I agree with both of you. My mistake on Austin Roberston. I had him going 1-2 at last years Class L tournament (obviously not qualifying for opens). I realize now I was looking at his younger brother Aiden's results. 5th at the opens is no joke. I agree, #2 behind Mastroianni is right. It will be updated after the weekends results.

Simsbury Araniti 182 pined Garcia from BE yesterday so should move up.

Something seems to be wrong with Dylan Garcia. Can someone fill me in. After a very strong first half of the season, finishing 3rd @ Danbury Holiday Tourn, winning the Bristol Central Inv., 6th at Cumberland, 2nd at Colter Abely, he went 0-2 (both pins) at the Connecticut Challenge and now pinned by unranked Simsbury Wrestler. This is the upset that turned the Bristol Eastern Simsbury Dual.
No disrespect intended to Mr. Araniti, who is also a very good wrestler, but it seems there has been a drop off by Mr. Garcia
I have moved Araniti into the rankings. 182 should be a tough weight this year.

What about Aiden Brown and Andrew Oken, is that their 138 and 145 pounder (with Noah Pryzbek out of the starting linup now)? I am going to assume it is the case for now. But let me know and i'll update it.

@sanctuss7
if Pryzbek comes back Aiden might be the odd man out. Pryzb did wrestle one match at New Fairfield but that was it. Not sure whats going on. Let’s see what happens in the match Wed against Farmington. I do know Pera is at 132 and Mairano is at 126.

Very tough and strong. He has been out most of the season but is back @100%. Just needs to get in shape which he will do over the next 2 weeks. Should be a high place finisher at L’s. Would be surprised to see him in the title match.

Not sure what to do with Ruiz. A good win, no doubt, but this is his only result against a Connecticut wrestler (https://www.flowrestling.org/athletes/e7b1da95-c67a-4ce0-9c54-038d23a82b93/results). Wrestled the Nashoba and Timberlane wrestlers (split). Do I put him in the top 2 with only one in-state match? I don't have any Xavier results from last weekend, so I don't know if he wrestled again.
I'll keep an eye on Ruiz at the SCC tournament this weekend and if he does well, I'll get him on the list. Let me know what you think.

It was the former 126 pound #1, Saul Pera and #2 Khalil Shabazz moved to 132#. I was informed that Pera would be 132 for post-season. Khalil wrestled 132 at the Bobcat classic tournament, so I moved him as I generally go off tournament weights for rankings.
I am not certain on Khalil what weight he will go post-season. He has wrestled significant amount of matches at each weight. If anyone has any insights on Khalil, let me know.
