Best of the Best 2009 Results

The Knoxville I team took the crown in Greco-Roman but lost in a toughly contested match to the Memphis team in freestyle. Chattanooga finished third in both styles while giving competitive matches to both teams. The bottom two spots were occupied by the Knoxville II team and the group of athletes who came down to represent Nashville.

Thanks to everyone that participated in the event. We look forward to having the event hosted by the East Region next year and hope that all regions will once again return for the event.

Division I & II Posted

Check out the rankings tab at the top of the page to see what our resident wrestling pundit MatMan has to say about the outlook for Tennessee wrestling in Division I. We have a new ranker taking the load over for DII so that should allow both rankers more time to concentrate on their respective divisions. Look for the DII rankings to be posted tomorrow night (likely late). Don't forget to sign-up for the forums and discuss this rough draft of how the season might shake out. Remember that these rankings are done with very little information and things like weight class are still typically a best guess. If you have something you would like to add to the rankings be sure to send in your pre-season outlook or current season results to Matman for DI or Garrett House for DII.

Enjoy! See you all on the mats soon!

P.S. Look for the Wrestler & Coach of the Month for October to be posted in the coming week...
