Wrestling: Pound-for-Pound Rankings and Win-Type Leaders
With more off days now that the individual tournament is in full swing, I was going through Track Wrestling and came up with the idea of posting win-type leaders for the Shore Conference. I was also going to post scoring leaders (takedowns, reversals, near-falls, etc.) but it looks like not every team has entered that information into Track Wrestling.
And just for the fun of it, a Shore Conference pound-for-pound top 10. Of course these are not official rankings of any kind and have no bearing on anything, just my opinion based on observations throughout the year.
Shore Conference Top 10 Pound-for-Pound Wrestling Rankings
1. Gianni Ghione, Sr., 132, Brick Memorial
2. Matt McKenzie, Sr., 195, Wall
3. A.J. Meyers, Sr., 160, Toms River East
4. Cole Corrigan, Jr., 145, Toms River South
