2025-26 Top 40 National High School Wrestling Rankings – Feb. 21, 2026

Oklahoma duals provide the only major changes to national high school wrestling team rankings.

Billy Buckheit | Feb 21, 2026

Bixby placed second in the Oklahoma state duals to No. 15 Stillwater, but the Spartans still made the biggest upward move in this week’s national rankings, going from No. 33 to No. 16. / Bixby Wrestling

Aside from what happened at the 6A Oklahoma State Dual Meet Tournament, the team ranking changes this week were minimal.

California and New Jersey Offer the Best Opportunities for Future Shakeups

We expect more of that as we come to the close of the season. Most of the teams on this list will dominate their state tournaments, with a few potentially having some epic clashes, specifically in California and New Jersey.

Lake Highland Prep and Blair Set for One More Battle at National Prep Tournament

The final word on the National Prep rivalry with Lake Highland Prep and Blair Academy will be settled this weekend, with the winner taking final position over the other. Without any new evidence, it would likely take Buchanan failing to win their Masters tournament this weekend or next week’s states for them to tumble from the top spot.

State Tournament scoring can be skewed given the nature of only the best reaching the podium, so we measure those scores realistically and balance them with all a team’s results.

Like the individuals, the teams have some clear chains then some jumbled spots. We use all results to place them, not just one.

2025-26 Top 40 National High School Wrestling Rankings – Feb. 21, 2026

1-Buchanan, CA

Previous No. 1

Competed at and won the Central Section D1 Tournament over Clovis and Clovis North.

2-Lake Highland Prep, FL

Back-to-Back; Presbyterian Wins Second Consecutive Region Championship

FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. – History repeated itself for the fifth-ranked Presbyterian College women’s wrestling team on Saturday afternoon, winning the Southeast Region Championship for the second straight time and qualifying all 10 athletes to Nationals next month.
Chloe Dearwester, Maddie Kubicki, Isabella Gretzinger, and Maria Aiono each won their first Region titles at the tourney (which was held at Emmanuel). A PC wrestler competed in nine of the ten Championship matches.
Just like last season, head coach Brian Vutianitis was voted as the Southeast Region Coach of the Year. He’ll lead a Blue Hose lineup to Nationals in Iowa on March 6, aiming for a fourth straight top-ten finish.
In a Region tournament that also featured #5 King and #10 Emmanuel, the Scotsmen emerged as the champs by landing nine wrestlers at either Gold or Silver.
NOTABLES
– Dearwester (who holds PC’s best win percentage with a 21-2 personal record) defeated King’s Avery Kibelbek in the 110-lb. Finals with a 2:53 pin.
– Ranked fifth in the nation for her weight class, Dearwester avenged her 2nd-place finish at Regionals last year and will be a favorite for the National Championship in two weeks.
– Two-time All-American Kubicki knocked off Delaware State’s Louise Juitt for the 145-lb. crown, collecting a 2:20 fall which is her 74th career victory.
– Gretzinger grabbed two standard decisions to win Gold in class 180, shutting out Journey Land (Mount Olive) by a 5-0 count to win her first postseason title as a sophomore.
– One of Presby’s six All-Americans last spring, Aiono improved on her 3rd-place standing at Regionals in 2025 with a ridiculous 20-second fall that won the 207-lb. championship. … more at … https://gobluehose.com/news/2026/2/21/womens-wrestling-back-to-back-presbyterian-wins-second-consecutive-region-championship.aspx

No. 6 Hokies crowned ACC regular season champions once again

BLACKSBURG – For the first time since 2016-2017, the No. 6 Virginia Tech wrestling team snatched outright possession of the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season title on Friday night by defeating Duke, 26-17, to finish an undefeated conference competition slate. The Hokies won six of ten matches on Senior Night in Cassell in the dual season finale to give Tony Robie and company their ninth conference title since taking the helm in Blacksburg.
Hokies Light Up the Scoreboard
At 133-pounds, No. 7 Aaron Seidel’s bonus point rate continues, but in the form of a forfeit by Duke to wrap up his first regular season. The Fredricksburg, PA freshman enters the post season undefeated against conference competition and will look to continue his hot streak into the Cassell once again on March 8.
Tech notched four bonus point victories in their six wins with No. 16 Ethen Miller (11-4) finishing his dual career with a major decision at 157-pounds. Miller had to sprint late for the bonus securing takedown with just under 0:11 to go, bringing Cassell to its feet with an 11-3 major decision. The grad transfer will now step onto Cassell floor for one last time at the ACC Championships in two weeks.
Following Miller’s major, it was another transfer for the Hokies in No. 30 Jaden Bullock (16-10) scoring more bonus at 184-pounds. After dropping his first two conference bouts, the Chesapeake, VA native is riding an eight-match win streak after a dominant, buzzer beating 19-4 tech fall on Friday night.
No. 11 Sonny Sasso (19-5) continues to catch his stride – adding another tech fall to Tech’s tally with an 18-3 bonus point victory at 197-pounds. Sasso enters his first post season riding a five-match win streak including his win over the No. 7 ranked wrestler at 197-pounds. … more at … https://hokiesports.com/news/2026/02/21/no-6-hokies-crowned-acc-regular-season-champions-once-again

VMI Wrestling defeats Campbell on Senior Night

LEXINGTON, Va. – VMI Wrestling came away with its first Southern Conference win of the season in a 32-16 victory over Campbell Friday night at Cormack Hall.  
With the win, the Keydets (5-7, 1-4 SoCon) snap their skid and get in the conference win column. This is VMI’s first win over the Fighting Camels since 2015 and its first known win at home since 1979.  
Starting the dual at 149 pounds, VMI got the ball rolling with a dominating technical fall from Phoenix Alyea. After getting 12 points from Campbell forfeiting its 157 match and then an injury in the 165 bout, VMI went up 17-0.  
174-pounder Beau Lewis earned his first league win in fashion, pinning his opponent in the final minute to put the Keydets in a comfortable 23-0 lead.  
Campbell would go on an 11-0 run that cut VMI’s lead in half. But it was another forfeit, this time at 125 pounds, that put the Keydets in the driver’s seat and Campbell out of reach, 29-11. … more at … https://vmikeydets.com/news/2026/2/13/vmi-wrestling-defeats-campbell-on-senior-night.aspx
