Pennsylvania takes huge lead over field in overall #Fargo2024 team standings after four events
Share:
Based upon a dominant performance in both Junior men’s freestyle and 16U men’s freestyle, Pennsylvania has taken a commanding lead in the overall team race at the 2024 USMC Junior and 16U Nationals in Fargo, N.D.
This standing is based upon four of the six events, with the women’s freestyle competition (both Junior and 16U) and the men’s freestyle competition (both Junior and 16U) already completed. The two Greco-Roman tournaments begin on Friday and complete on Saturday, when an overall team champion can be awarded.
Pennsylvania leads the team race with 766 points, a full 280 points ahead of second place California with 486 points. Pennsylvania racked up 231 points in 16U men’s freestyle and 278 points in Junior men’s freestyle, adding a whopping 509 points, to pull away from the field. After the two women’s freestyle tournaments ended on Sunday, California led Pennsylvania by nine points.
At this point, Pennsylvania has won three of the team titles (16U women, 16U men’s freestyle, Junior men’s freestyle) while California has won one team title (Junior women).
California has been consistently excellent, scoring at least 99 points in all four tournaments, and over 100 in three of the four events. They have secured a 117-point lead over the third-place team.
New Jersey jumped up from 10th place after the women’s freestyle events to a strong third place in the overall team standings, based upon a powerful performance in men’s freestyle. New Jersey actually scored no points in the women’s Junior tournament, yet made up some big ground by scoring 119 points in 16U men’s freestyle and 139 points in Junior men’s freestyle. New Jersey placed second behind Pennsylvania in the men’s freestyle scoring.
Rounding out the top five teams are Illinois with 369 points in fourth, then Indiana in fifth with 286 points. Illinois was third in the men’s freestyle standings and fifth in the women’s freestyle standings. Indiana was sixth in the men’s freestyle standings and seventh in the women’s freestyle standings.
The top 10 states include Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Michigan.
Can anybody catch Pennsylvania at this point? With only two tournaments left and 280 points ahead, Pennsylvania would need to have a historically poor performance in Greco-Roman and another team will need a huge performance at the same time. Last year, Illinois scored 319 points in the two Greco-Roman events, wiping out a 151-point deficit and edged Pennsylvania. Perhaps at this point, the only thing up for grabs is second place.
