Using final season rankings from Ohiowrestlingsite the returning wrestlers in div2 160 are
2. James Mannier, SPG
6. Kilroy
10. Adam Walters, West Geuaga

It seems Mannier is being projected for 171, which would put Kyle Ryan, 2 time JH state champ, into the lineup for SPG.

If Kilroy goes 171 he would battle Nick Mills in addition to Mannier. Walter could go 171 I think.

All wrestlers mentioned will be in the Ironman.

Thanks Steve, specifically, I wanted to check out Kilroy's weight. 160 in D II. Does he have a legitimate shot at winning a title as a sophomore??

The sites I check out are 1. Ohiowrestlingsite.com, 2. OhioWrestling.net, and 3. Yappi.com.

1. On the main page you see a "rankings" tab which gives his (Justin's) in depth look by division.
2. One this main page, hitting the ranking tab offers ALL of the Brakeman reports (I believe). I think Dan has done a Brakeman style report himself. If I'm right it would be in the actual thread archives.
3. I think Josh (Bucksman) ties in his lists to wrestling411.

The thing is, any lists rate to come out in January, though preliminary lists might be seen mid-December, once wrestlers get on the mat and weights become known.

A current topic on Yappi is top ten overall Ohio wrestlers regardless of weight or division, but I imagine you are looking for something a little broader.

Steve, do you know where I can find preseason individual rankings for Ohio hs wrestlers?

I hadn't seen it. Fantastic read!!

Real interesting how he struck up the friendship with the USA flag-bearer.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm sure you've seen this, but if you haven't it's a link to Josh McAdam's blog on Cleveland.com. He updates it frequently. I think you can read Hrovat's blog on Flo.

Haha. The Plain Dealer missed the real story, trying to take credit for McAdams success (delivering newspapers--indeed), when it was you who molded our Olympian.

Actually Steve, I credit most of Josh's success to me. He worked out with me a few times when I was a Jr. and he was a Sr. Also exchanging wrestling tapes for opponents we would face at state. I'm very proud of the Olympian that I molded


Seriously though, great accomplishment for a great guy. Josh McAdams Olympian, WOW!!!!

Oh yes. I followed his progress closely and watched the finals race (WKYC). The Anderson Smith who also qualified for the finals who none other than McAdam's old nemesis from his senior year in high school (1998) Hudson's Andy Smith. At the district Andy Smith won the mile with McAdams a close second and Solon's Jared Gambatese 3rd. The regional mile had the same order of finish. At state, which my son and I attended (my son qualified for the regional in the mile but had a tough day--I think he expended too much energy on the prom the night before), it was a Cincinatti kid winning, but after a massive final 100 meter sprint, Smith took second just ahead of the third place McAdams who was just ahead of Gambatese in fourth. Great stuff.

Yesterday the Plain Dealer in a pre-race article mentioned that McAdams was a paper boy for them. I can't believe they not only mentioned it again this morning, but played it up even bigger.

Deliver the Plain Dealer in the mornings and become an Olympian. Give me a friggin break.

Did you see Josh McAdams made the Olympics? Nice article in the PD today..
