It’s no surprise that the top three include Waverly-Shell Rock, Iowa City West and Bettendorf. West and Waverly are flipped based on West’s victory over the Go-Hawks at the Five Seasons Duals in December. It will be interesting how the next month plays out setting up their stretch runs to the state tournament. Waverly has four No. 1 wrestlers, while West has one, but three others in the top three of their respective weights. BUT, guess you has the second-most top-ranked wrestlers. It’s fourth-ranked Urbandale.

Please discuss.
