Top 25 Indiana M.S Leader Board would be great. You might be one of the few knowledgeable enough for that age group to put this together.

It would be something for the young kids to shoot for as they come up through the ranks.

That said, I am really proud of the overall rise of Indiana Wrestling. Thanks to everyone helping the cause.

Weights would be difficult because there doesn't seem to be a uniform weight class listing for middle school in Indiana. It seems to be a regional decision or a school-by-school decision. And with open enrollment, projected high school may be a tough one too. Especially with the amount of private schools around the bigger cities.

I think some should create a top 25 M.S leader board at the end of each month

I modified my list to top 25.  It was pretty hard to narrow it down to 25 wrestlers.  I have seen many of these wrestlers at national tournaments and duals which is why some of them were ranked higher then kids that wrestle mainly in state.  I also didn't rank any 6th graders, but I am sure that will change after middle school state.  Inbox me if I missed someone, I'll adjust my rankings every month.

I used National placement, tough duals, and middle school state to make this list. Feel free to message me with corrections.

Lane Gilbert from Sullivan look good today from Sullivan at SB 98, win over Baumann in the finals. I think he's a 7th grader

I actually just looked him up today after I saw he beat Brody.  He is a first year schoolboy and he didn't wrestle in middle school state last year, so I am assuming he is a 6th grader.  Hopefully he signs up for middle school state so I can see him wrestle.
