State Wrestling Qualifiers: Meet the 224 wrestlers advancing from the regions, 2021

Brackets are loaded at trackwrestling. Would love to know how Region winners at 113 and 145 get double digit seeds. I get it's a funky year and there's criteria involved, but there should be a caveat that Region winners shouldn't get lower than a 8 seed.

TBH all of the RU commits ended up with great seeds, though really not unexpected. Only tough situation is at 145 since White and Cetta are on the same side because Ruiz is the #1

138: Oliveri is the #1 which puts his toughest competition, Hummel (#2) and Almeyda (#3), on the other side of the bracket
145: White is the #2 and Cetta is the #3 so they will likely meet in the semis with the winner taking on Ruiz.
160: Weaver is the #4 so he avoids #3 Cericho, who he just lost to, and #2 Dakota Morris. #1 Bahna is obviously solid, but he's not elite and has lost this year as well so if Weaver puts it all together he can make a run to the finals.
182: Soldano is the #1 as expected
285: O'Donnell is the #1 seed which puts Szuba at #2

Disagree entirely. There are regions that had 10 returning state qualifiers in a weight while the other region had 1 or 2 at the same weight

the only time being a champ matters is district champs get byes at regions in normal years. They made be seeded like 10 or whatever though.
