Pennsylvania, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa were the main teams being talked about for the Junior freestyle team title, but it’s actually Ohio in the “lead” after day one. I put lead in quotation marks because there have zero actual team points scored. Only All-Americans score points, but the lead is based on front-side wrestlers.
Junior freestyle resumes tomorrow morning at 10 am EST with the round of 16 and consolations.
| State | Front Side | Back Side |
| Ohio | 21 | 16 |
| Pennsylvania | 20 | 21 |
| Illinois | 20 | 16 |
| Wisconsin | 15 | 17 |
| Minnesota | 15 | 5 |
| Iowa | 14 | 21 |
| Indiana | 14 | 9 |
| Florida | 12 | 6 |
| California | 11 | 19 |
| Oklahoma | 10 | 18 |
| New Jersey | 7 | 14 |
| Washington | 7 | 6 |
| Michigan | 6 | 6 |
| Nebraska | 6 | 5 |
| Kansas | 6 | 4 |
| Missouri | 5 | 13 |
| Georgia | 5 | 4 |
The round of 16 hasn’t even been wrestled yet, so a lot can still happen, but this team race is already fun.
