The Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic, formerly the Dapper Dan, has a long-standing tradition of showcasing high school wrestling excellence. Every year, they pit the toughest Pennsylvania high school seniors against the highest-ranked national competitors they can find. This year's PA All-Star team includes 8 nationally ranked wrestlers, half of whom are ranked in the top ten in the country. Team USA? All 12 are ranked inside the top 7 in the country with three #1s and four #2s.

The Minnesota Christmas tournament rarely disappoints due to the high caliber of competition in Minnesota and its surrounding states. Take a look at this year's pre-seeds with national rankings where applicable. Every weight is tough, and several weights have multiple nationally-ranked wrestlers. Pay special attention to 182 lbs and 195 lbs. It's also worth noting that Gigi Bragg, the #12 ranked wrestler in the women's national rankings will toe the line in the boys' division at this tournament.
