With the elimination of sectionals, the Iowa High School Athletic Association needed a new way to determine sites and teams for regional wrestling duals. The new plan was in place months ago and used the Iowa Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association rankings. The rankings released on January 16th will be used to determine host sites, while the rankings that will be released on January 23rd will determine the schools that will wrestle. The top eight teams in each class from the rankings on January 16th are below, and those schools will host. The other 16 schools ranked 9-24 in next Monday’s rankings will be distributed to the eight host schools for regionals scheduled for January 31st at 6:00 PM.
