TOM has released our first set of rankings that have removed wrestlers from the Class of 2020. All classes listed are those of the wrestlers for the 2020-21 season.

The weight classes used for these rankings are the ones each wrestler made to compete at their state tournament. We anticipate that once action gets back underway most of these wrestlers will be at new (higher?) weights. Many have probably outgrown their old weights already. Consider this a starting point for the 2020-21 season.
