This list is a bit overdue but here it is. Click on the link if you would like to check-out the All-Time list.
In the table below, I have listed the top-30 programs out of 192 schools that participated in the state championships of the 2016-2017 wrestling season. I have also included the programs’ all-time ranking as of the end of the season.
Something that might be noticed, my formulation does not guarantee a top-spot by simply having a champion (Bella Vista, Eastside and River Valley, all teams with a champion this year, did not make the top 30), though it does help. The best way to insure a high ranking in the list is to send a large delegation and to get as many placers as possible.
