Updated: September 20, 2011

NEWTON, Iowa — Blair Academy in New Jersey and St. Johns High School in Michigan each feature two top-ranked wrestlers in WIN’s 2011-12 Preseason High School rankings, which were released on Sept. 20.

Leading the way for Blair Academy, located in Blairstown Township, N.J., is senior Mark Grey at 132 pounds and junior heavyweight Brooks Black, who was also ranked number one among the biggest wrestlers last year.

 

Ben Whitford won both the Junior National Greco and freestyle championships for Michigan last summer after wrestling the past two years in Illinois.

Meanwhile, St. Johns will be led by 170-pound senior Taylor Massa and 138-pound junior Ben Whitford, who returns to his native Michigan after competing the past two years at Marmion Academy in Aurora, Ill.

The state of Michigan also features another top-ranked wrestler in junior Adam Coon, who will compete in the new weight class of 220 pounds. Coon, who won the Junior National Greco-Roman championship in Fargo, N.D., in July, competes for Fowlerville High School in Michigan.

The following are WIN’s 2011-12 preseason national individual rankings, which are subject to change when wrestlers finalize what weights they will wrestle this winter. WIN will announce a national team ranking in our Preseason High School/College issue, which will be mailed on Oct. 20.
