Amateur Wrestling News released their new high school team rankings today and Perry has fallen to 23rd in the nation. Intermat has dropped them to 27th. With five all americans at Fargo, back to back Disney Duals national titles and a continued presence at the top of Indiana wrestling I assumed this team was poised to approach a top ten ranking. Both rankings have Perry behind Cincinnati Moeller, a team they defeated two years ago at Disney. I had a back and forth email discussion last year with Josh Lowe of Intermat, who does their rankings on this very topic. He is extremely knowledgeable about high school wrestling on the national level but when you boil it all down he doesn't have much for Indiana wrestling because we don't wrestle out of state due to the IHSAA restrictions. Now Perry is the home team for me so I will admit I am biased, but I feel Perry is being slighted in the national polls. I wonder what peoples' thoughts were on Perry's national ranking and as part of a broader discussion does Indiana wrestling deserve more respect on the national level in general?
