Best 2020-21 High School Juniors By Dan Fickel National Editor Editor’s Note: Here are final rankings of the Nation’s Best 2020-21 High School Juniors. Seven factors, which considered the overall accomplishments of the wrestlers, were used in determining these rankings. They include: (1) Career varsity high school record and performances at the State High School Championships (folkstyle); (2) National Junior Freestyle and Greco-Roman Championships (prior to 2021); 3) Achievements at prestigious regular season high school tournaments and club dual/tournament events; (4) Super 32 Challenge Tournament; (5) UWW Cadet and 16U National Championships; (6) FloWrestling Who’s #1; (7) National High School Championships. For the most part, wrestlers are listed at the weight classes from their respective state tournament series. Weight classes are projected for wrestlers from states that did not have an official state series due to concerns with the COVID- 19 pandemic. Rankings were finalized on 7-1-21.
