2023 NCAA D1 Qualifiers from Ohio

Over the weekend, I'll be doing my best to track former Ohio HS wrestlers who qualify for the NCAA D1 Tourney in two weeks. I'll post a comment below this one with a running tally that will be updated when wrestlers are confirmed to be qualified. If I've got high schools wrong please let me know!

Ended up being 23

Yep....It's not getting better anytime soon either based on the talent level in the Ohio State tournament. Some of the strongest weights are pretty weak the last few years...even though I've taken some flack for announcing that statistically by some parents or fans of certain wrestlers/programs :) There's a lot more parity after PA, who still leads the pack comfortably.

I agree. I even provided detailed stats forecasting this over the last couple years. Lean years are coming. And with elite clubs popping up in lesser represented areas of the country—it ain’t gonna get better for Ohio.

Great stats/info, thank you.
 
I don't know much about other areas of the state, but Toledo is a perfect example of the decline in wrestling. Teams like Rogers, Cardinal Stritch, St. Francis de Sales, Bowsher, and Woodward of the City League happened a few decades ago. Central Catholic more recently. St. Johns has shown signs of resurrection along with Whitmer. Stritch hasn't fielded a team in over a decade.

Move to the suburbs help Oregon Clay and to some extent Sylvania Northview and Southview. Only P'burg has emerged as a powerhouse, more recently because of the HC selection. Outside the Toledo Metro areas and Oak Harbor, Wauseon, Delta, Archbold have dropped off, but could recover. A number of top level coaches have retired or went elsewhere.

I believe (not sure) East Toledo Wrestling Club (ETWC) is now defunct. It produced 39 high school state champs and 48 state champs at the grade school and junior high levels. Produced Jerome Robinson (St. Ignatius), Moises and Mario Guillen (subject of a feature on ESPN in 2006), Matt Stencel and others. Tough loss for developing wrestlers. Was around since 1992 or so.

I believe Foxfire closed, then changed hands and is open again - founded by former St. Francis de Sales and UToledo coach and wrestler "Doc" Leffler - who passed away a couple years ago.

Didn't help when Univ. Toledo dropped wrestling in Title IX exodus. 2 NCAA DI national champs and something like 8 runner ups over the years, and a #4 team finish (long time ago) - while also hosting the World Cup 17 times from the inception in 1973 to 1991. All gone and never replaced. Not likely to be either.

Not sure how Toledo area ranks in top video game players.

Genoa won a few titles. Archbold won a dual title and had a few finalists as well. Brodie was a state champ. Waite hs took 2 kids to the D1 state this year as well. Got a state finalist even. Clay had 2 D1 placers with a finalist as well. Whitmer had multiple D1 placers and a 2x finalist as well. Perrysburg is so good that sometimes the others get overlooked but the Toledo area is not on the decline anymore. We are showing up and winning at super 32. We are winning Fargo titles and being AAs as well (freestyle and greco). We are definitely lacking the depth of the other areas but we are producing college wrestlers every year. Dylan is one of the last guys to win 4 state titles even. He's from the Toledo area. Plus, a 2023 NCAA All American.
 
Genoa was loaded, can't remember how many state titles they won 3 or 4 years back, seems like they had 6 or 7 individual champs too one year. Murderers row!!

This is actually what I was referring to. I remember that. Genoa won the state team title with a ton of talent and have a number of those guys wrestling in college. Delta (aka Mattin HS) has won it a few times, Wauseon has been in contention, Clay was top 3 or 4 in DI, etc. etc. Yes, there are very good individuals in NW Ohio outside of P'burg, but the overall depth of many of the programs has dropped off. I know it can be cyclical, but beyond the top 2-3 wrestlers at Clay, most of the rest of the team struggled. I don't see anywhere near the depth of talent they had in the prior decade when they dominated the City League/TRAC, the sectionals and were at the top in their District. I would be more positive if they wrestled a slew of freshman on the Gold team this past year - but they only had 1 freshman starting (took 4th at state). At the Maumee Bay Classic they went with 6 seniors, 3 juniors, 3 sophs, and 1 freshman - and finished 21st.
