Nic Bouzakis Link: Top 15 Junior High Rankings
While Super 32 Challenge high school division champion Ryan Crookham (Saucon Valley, Pa.) remains the top junior high wrestler in the country, Nic Bouzakis (Lake Highland Prep, Fla.) moves up one spot to No. 2 after winning a second high school state title in Florida's small school division at 120 pounds. Bouzakis added a Cadet folkstyle title at 120 pounds since then as well. Despite winning a Cadet folkstyle title at 100 pounds, Jordan Williams (Collinsville, Okla.) drops one position in the rankings to third place; he also won a junior high state title in Oklahoma since the last rankings update.
Improving a few spots in the rankings is Jesse Mendez (Indiana), who is now fourth in the rankings with a couple significant resume boosts since the late January rankings update. In addition to winning yet another middle school state title, he was runner-up to Bouzakis in Cadet folkstyle, and the following week he placed third at the FloNationals in the 113-pound weight class of the high school division. Also performing superbly in the high school division of the FloNationals was Joey Cruz (Clovis North, Calif.), who makes his debut in the Junior High top 15 at the seventh position; he was runner-up at 106 pounds, and also won a California USA middle school state title at 117.
The other newcomer to this update in the top 15 is seventh grader Marc-Anthony McGowan (Florida), though he had been ranked in the fall 2017 update. McGowan won the third leg of the Roller/Flo World of Wrestling Triple Crown with a title at Reno in the 15-U 82-pound weight class, after winning a Schoolboy folkstyle national title the week before at 87 pounds.
