The final day of competition and the team race has really heated up and it is close. Here are the team scores going into the championship round.
1. New Jersey 51 pts
2. Minnesota 49 pts
3. Oklahoma 48 pts
3. Pennsylvania 48 pts
5 Iowa 32 pts
6. Illinois 30 pts.
Herre is my amateurish breakdown of possible points and all-Americans
1. New Jersey with 51 points has 11 All-Americans and if every wrestler they have wins today they will have 5 1st places,2 third place,1 5th place,3 7th places for total of 37. The lower the total the better for each team which means they place higher. New Jersey attained their lead by virtue of having more going for 1st place.
2. Minnesota with 49 points has 11 All Americans and if every wrestler they have wins today they will have 4 1sts,2 3rds,3 5ths, and 2 7ths for total of 39, again the lower the number the better.
3.Oklahoma with 48 points has 10 All-Americans and if every wrestler they have wins today they will have 2 1sts,3 thirds, five 5ths for total of 36.
4. Pennsylvania has 11 All-Americans and if everyone they have wins today they will have one 1st,three thirds,four 5ths and two 7ths for total of 47.
Since all of the points have been awarded 2nd,4th,6th and 8th then the points scored today will be the difference between first and second, third and fourth, fifth and sixth and seventh and eighth. Oklahoma has one less All-American than the other three teams. However, they are going for higher places based on the totals above.
If anyone is following this they are a better statistician than me, which is saying very little. I guess in the long run the only thing that can be said is we have to win more matches today than the other three teams.
