WWN 4a Rankings

Posted by East Side on 11/25/2025, 9:12 am

I saw a couple of surprises in the Washington Wrestling Network 4a Rankings...

1st - No Chiawana? They've got Hinojosa (2024 Participant), Luna (8th), Russell, transfer Vasquez (6th), Espinoza, Delgado, Cissne (6th), and Lara. I think the rankers missed them on their list. I imagine they'll be right there with league rival Kamiakin.

2nd - Gonzaga Prep as #1! I know they have the Fargo champs moving in, Izzy Acosta, and heard they had a few transfer move-ins. Can anyone elaborate on who moved into G-Prep?

Once again, District 6 looks like it will be a blood bath at the State Qualifier with G-Prep, Mead, Kamiakin, Chiawana, and Richland.

Gonzaga- 2-3 kids came over from Idaho and a few other horses into the barn. Formidable team for sure.

I appreciate what wwn is doing but the way they rank is not how rankings are typically done nationally. They are basically just predicting the state tournament. Rankings are supposed to be based on results not what you think will happen in February. Look how flo and intermat do it for college. Freshmen without results in hs shouldn’t be ranked until they wrestle a tournament.

Rankings are not supposed to be about how well the ranker predicts the state tournament, they are strictly results based. Some of the rankers on this site did the same thing and then bragged about how many placers they get right every year.

I am curious about this statement. The goal at this site (The WWR) has always been to get the final rankings, that are released right before Mat Classic, as close to the final standings at Mat Classic as possible. I have always requested my rankers to rank during the regular season based on recent results, and lowest observed weight group, not on estimates of what weight they may be at state, or an estimate of who will win state. During the regular season they are fluid and can change week to week based on recent results. The rankings that come out after regionals (now after districts) were the exception in that the ranker was to "predict" the placings of the final 16, based on his/her observations during the season. The closer they could be to the final placings the better and if you hit 8 for 8 then they have earned a little time to roar. No brag, just fact...

I appreciate the efforts of all the people who have served on this site as rankers over the years. It is a hard and time consuming task and they deserve (have earned) the appreciation of the wrestling community.

That really makes sense. Lots of talented teams across the board. GPrep looks like they are on the rise and the team to beat. I was unaware of Chiawanna reloading which really makes things interesting. One has to wonder, will Mead have the horse power to stay relevant. Or has their reign come to an end?
