This is the past two years and I did this after seeing the article on Intermat today about classless wrestling.

Can you explain your data further?

 

In the top table I see headings of All / 3A / 2A / 1A / 2A / 1A - but what do these represent??

 

Not sure exactly what I am looking at

[Y2CJ41]

All is all schools

3A-2A-1A are schools broken down by three even classes

2A-1A are schools broken down by two classes

 

The first table counts a school if they have had at least one semi-state qualifier over the past two years.

So 270 of the 313 schools with wrestling have qualified a wrestler for semi-state in the past two years. 100 of the 104 biggest schools have also qualified a wrestler for semi-state, and so on.

 

The second table tallies the number of semi-state qualifiers per team in each class.

Of the 1792 semi-state qualifiers over the past two years, 970 have been from the largest 104 schools.

*Semi-state data from the last two years, state data from the last four years.

 

Here is another table of interesting information.

 

Small schools are qualifying a higher percentage of their student body than big schools.  However, when it comes to qualifying for state or being a state placer they are way behind.  Smaller schools are holding their own in terms of having a top 20% wrestler(aka semi-state qualifiers), but to get a top 5%(state qualifier) or 2.5%(state placer) they fall behind tremendously.

Thanks Joe, that is some interesting stats!

 

I would be interested in seeing what the outliers are at each class.  For example, does Perry/Penn place enough to make those 2 teams roughly the equivalent of class 1A?

 

I see that it shows 71% of state placers are from 3A schools.  I am just wondering if a majority of those are from a small handful of large schools with exceptional wrestling programs.

[Y2CJ41]

3 Class 1A teams have had 16 state placers over the past 4 years

2 Class 1A teams have had 35 state placers over the past 4 years

Perry Meridian has had 22

Cathedral 17

Mater Dei and Merrillville have had 14

Yorktown(2A in 3 class and 2A in 2 class) has had 19 state placers
