Welcome to Hawaiiprepworld.com’s attempt at wrestling rankings. I can only rank based on results that I know, so please either email me directly at sapreps808@gmail.com or place your reports in the comments below. If I get one or two people saying that they saw a result, I will try my best to confirm it. If I get three, I will consider it fact. I am still missing McKinley, but I have the Garner Ivey, Officials and Paani. I try to take head-to-head into account first, but if a wrestler wears the label ‘state placer,’ she will always get a bump from me. You will see some wrestlers ranked in more than one weight class. As long as they have competed in that weight class in the past month, they will be ranked there. They will drop out immediately if a month lapses.
Thank you in advance for your results, together we can make this work. I intend on updating these every Sunday night at the least, but may pop in with updates as I get them.

10. Kristen Kojima, Roosevelt
The top five is pretty solid, with Dilliner winning the East and Ford taking the West. I put Baysa in at No. 6 as the BIIF champ, probably cheating Abaya by doing so. But Abaya was fourth in the East this week, and that is where things got weird. I put the girls who finished ahead of her, Lista and Kojima, behind her and dropped Pascual (second on Maui) and Hirata (fifth at Paani). I am not dropping inactives out unless I am absolutely sure, but Newman is on the watch list.

10. Joen Tominaga, Pearl City
This one was pretty easy. I dropped Newman out, I haven’t seen her here since Maui. Guillermo won the East, but it will take more than that for her to pass Corpuz. Maybe an OIA championship coupled with a loss on Maui. The top six here remains unchanged, but I put Castro at seven for winning the West. Lau moves up to 8 after finishing second in the East and BIIF champ Maria Hernandez comes in at ninth. I really don’t know what to do with these Big Island wrestlers, but I’m trying.

10. Sierra Pico, Molokai
The top four stays the same, with the three West girls wrestling according to form with a 1-2-3 finish. But Lee is still chasing Pacheco on these rankings, because Pacheco won Officials. It’s close as can be, though. I dropped Tominaga two spots, but not to punish her, to reward Johnson’s win in the OIA East. Masters comes in at No. 7 as the BIIF champ, followed by Torres-Umi, who won on Maui this week over Pico. Brown and Palipti dropped.

It’s time. Mercado passes Evans for the top spot after winning the West this week. Johnson drops, she hasn’t been here since Maui as far as I can tell. Wasson comes in at No. 7 after winning the East and Casuga right behind her as the BIIF champ. No. 10 is a tossup, I wanted to put Leutu there for her fifth-place at Officials, but that seems so long ago. So I wussed out and put Johnson there.

************************************************
I intend to update rankings for each weight class as the year goes by, here are the girls under 109 pounds. December results and state pedigree are the only factors weighed in. Results from neighbor islands are very hard to come by, I will take any results you have at jcampany@staradvertiser.com. This list is completely subjective and will be so throughout the season, feel free to correct me and corrections will be taken into account next week.
Girls 113
1. Ashley Dilliner, Kailua
2. Alexis Ford, Pearl City
3. Angessa Newman, Waianae
4. Donavyn Futa, Kamehameha
5. Czarina Pineda Abaya, Kalani
I am limiting this to Oahu, but the girls on this island are all chasing King Kekaulike’s Jenna Mauliola and probably have no chance to catch her. Mauliola swept Maui, Officials and Paani and left the island with everyone else to figure out a way to beat her. Dilliner is the top Oahu girl for making it to the finals at Officials, but she had no chance against Mauliola, being pinned in the first. Ford is second, finishing third at all three tournaments so she knows a thing or two about wrestling in big matches. Newman pushed Gonsalves and is a state placer, with the competition she is going to get in the wrestling room every day she could easily rise above Ford and Dilliner. Futa was second at Paani and Abaya was fourth at Officials, but they have a way to go to approach the top three.
Girls 117
1. Kayla Guillermo, Castle
2. Alsie Bahilot, Castle
3. Angessa Newman, Waianae
4. Tara Marysa Hirata, Mililani
5. Erika Takase, Punahou
The Knights rule here, with Bahilot coming from out of nowhere to take Officials and proving it was no fluke with a second-place finish at Paani behind Guillermo. Guillermo is a state placer and the difference between these two is slight. Guillermo earns the edge for pinning her teammate in the Paani finals. Bahilot won Officials with a pin in 30 seconds of Punahou’s Taryn Ichimura. Newman is No. 3 in two different weight classes, but this one suits her more because of the absence of Mauliola. Newman’s top credentials at this weight are a win at Aiea and a third-place finish on Maui. Hirata has been busy and contended every week, Takase gets the fifth spot for taking fourth at Paani and being a state placer with a fifth-place finish to her credit last year.
Girls 121
1. Harmony Pacheco, Kamehameha
2. Angela Lee, Miliani
3. Asia Lien Evans, Pearl City
4. Tehani Carlson, Waianae
5. Joen Tominaga, Pearl City
This might be the best weight class in the state, regardless of gender. Both Pacheco and Lee are state champions and neither of them seem inclined to move. Pacheco gets the slight edge here because she won the best tournament (Officials) pinning Evans in the process. Lee’s only other appearance is on Maui, where she took the gold with a pin in 1:09 over Carlson, who has easily been the busiest at this weight so far with runner-up finishes on Maui and the Paani and a fourth at Officials. Evans, a state runner up, will probably scoot up to 125, there is no room for three of the best female wrestlers in the state in one weight class. Tominaga gets the fifth spot for being an important member of a state-championship team, taking third on Maui and fourth at the Paani.
Girls 125
1. Asia Lien Evans, Pearl City
2. Ashley Mercado, Leilehua
3. Tayler Fitzsimmons, Kamehameha
4. Rebekah Johnson, Castle
5. Shana Dilliner, Kamehameha
Evans is the one to beat here after finishing second at state last year and following it up with gold medals on Maui and at Punahou. She would have won this class at Officials if she didn’t wrestle down, handing that title to Mercado. The Mule did the most with it, though, winning a close match against Dilliner. Dilliner is the rare wrestler who finished second at Officials but opens as low as No. 5 because Fitzsimmons took second at Paani and third at Officials and Johnson is a state placer. Pearl City’s Joen Tominaga, another state placer, dipped her toe in this weight class at Officials but finished sixth. Whatever she and Evans decide to do, the Chargers might have a pair of state champions in them.
Might have to check for results from the McKinley tournament.
Guillermo got dominated at by a girl from McKinley. (I believe Castle are Kbights while Cambell are Sabers)
Evans lost to both Shana Dilliner and Johnson, both very good matches.
Wasson of Kahuku should also be on the list as one of the state placers last year.
Johnson was dominated by Dilliner as well. Close match with Evans though, going 5-4 after triple OT. Johnson def. Evans in first OT, end score 15-13 or something like that.
Thanks, that is going to be tough to sort out. I think I have seen Wasson at 130 this year, but not anything lower.
Dilliner and Evans had a very close match. Johnson as well. But if you could, Evans was not on her game that day. Many people could see it. In my opinion, Evans won against Johnson. There was a pin, for about 4 seconds. The ranks for these two weight classes are difficult.
What makes 121 tough for me is that each girl won every time they took the mat. Dilliner won Paani, Pacheco took Officials and Lee was the queen on Maui. The only other result I have for any of those three at this weight class was a fourth for Lee at Aiea, and I threw that out because I am not sure what to make of it and couldn’t get results from Kalaheo from the same day.
I count five state placers here.
Dilliner beat Carlson at Paani and Joen at officials
In my opinion, Evans should have beat Rebekah as well. Was a close match though, can’t wait to see her come back harder.
If Lee and Pacheco stay at 121, this will be a war. Pacheco is a very smart wrestler with great technique and Lee is just a beast. If Pacheco wrestles smart, I would give it to Pacheco, but if Lee can improve on her overall technique, WATCH OUT………
Lee did not wrestle at Aiea. She weighed in and had a first round matchup with a teammate and then a bye I believe before having to leave early.
Thanks, Vince, I suspected so. Glad I threw those out.
Lee makes her return to the mat with pins over Carlson and Evans in a crazy back and forth match.
125 Wasson lost to 121 Johnson, no contest here Johnson had control the whole way.
Not sure what weight, but Dilliner fr Kailua lost to Barcina, and to that same McK girl that beat Guillermo in a quick match up. Both these girls killed their competitions today.
Thanks, Ci9, I needed those for confirmation!
Barcina lost to the 109 from McKinley in a close matchup, 3-2
She was the 109 or 113, not too sure
Thanks, Anon, I don’t think that puts James over Barcina yet but she is on notice.
How is Desiree Corpuz ranked above Guillermo?
Corpuz started above Guillermo on the strength of a third at states last year to Guillermo’s sixth. Corpuz won a weaker field on Maui and Guillermo won the much stronger Paani, but I probably didn’t know how much stronger it was at the time.
As far as I know, there has not been anything that would put Guillermo over Corpuz since they both keep winning. There might have been a result that would change it, but I am not aware of it.
In other news, after talking to coaches today it is time to move James ahead of Barcina. Thanks for alerting me.
are you still dropping names from rankings if they haven’t played in that weight class in over a month?
Paaaina will be moving to 125. Already qualified for weight at last dual meet.
Paaaina is a coward for moving to 125. Watch her screw up her weight and get a date with Alo.
Two pound allowance is put into effect from this week on out. Highly doubt she’ll mess it up.
Sorry for the delayed response, Anon. I am only dropping kids if they have been inactive at that weight if I am sure they have not appeared there in a month. I am rarely sure.
Shana Dilliner KAM will probably appear at 117 played once already at that weight.
Pomaikai Yamaguchi KAM recently played at 125.
Paaina PAC5 is now playing at 125…recently played up vs Alo at a team dual, did better than most but still got spanked.
Bahilot CAS is down at 113….looked like she hurt something on Satruday
Hirata MIL is down at 113
Just for the record, whatever weights the wrestlers are documented at for regionals (Easterns/Westerns) are the weights that they will remain at for the rest of the season, regardless of inactivity/activity in other weight classes.
Not true anonymous. Its more than likely, but they can change for OIA’s if they choose to. Most likely though, the placements are representative of where they will be this weekend.
Weight class changes of note:
113: Angessa Newman is at 109, Hirata is here and deserves to be ranked(3rd at Officials), Bahilot is here now, and got 5th at Easterns
117: No more Hirata(MIL), or Bahilot(CAS), Tominaga is here now
121: No more Tominaga, Rebecca Johnson is here now, so is Asia Evans(PC)
125: Evans and Johnson are not at this weight, Paaina, Wasson and Goriainov
Where’s Dilliner from Kam been?
125: yamaguchi
Dilliner (KAM) played at 117 a few weeks ago…..I would expect her to be there for ILH this weekend.
Thanks Taloola, I wasn’t sure what to do with Bahilot, I am not sure is the fifth from the east is as good as the second from the east and I don’t have her ranked either.
And thanks to everyone for the info, keep it coming. I probably won’t be able to get back on this until Friday, but I will try to make some room. I haven’t done a stitch of homework for my hoops game in three hours, and that makes me a little uncomfortable.
How is Dilliner (KAM) ranked 5th when she’s seeded first?
