2025-26 Top 40 National High School Wrestling Rankings - Jan. 30, 2026

Blair tops Delbarton in NJ showdown; Bixby downs Broken Arrow in Oklahoma; National Team Rankings continue to galvanize.

In a showdown between national powers in Oklahoma, Bixby defeated Broken Arrow, 37-32, on Thursday. / Bixby Spartans Wrestling

Outside of the states that have a collection of nationally ranked teams, the opportunities to jump up and down the national wrestling team rankings are slowly evaporating. They are not done yet and for the National Prep Teams, they have their year-end tournament ahead.

National Powers Collide in High Stakes Duals

As the chances to shake up the rankings fall by the wayside, we had two big ones go down on Thursday night with No. 3 Blair Academy taking care of No. 4 Delbarton, 38-22 in New Jersey. Out in Oklahoma, No. 33 Bixby took an early lead and held off No. 34 Broken Arrow, 37-32.

Friday afternoon will see No. 7 Malvern Prep venture from Pennsylvania to face No. 2 Lake Highland Prep in Florida. Saturday serves up a California Special as No. 1 Buchanan battles No. 8 Poway.

No. 12 Clovis and No. 22 Clovis North met on Wednesday in a top-secret dual with results that have not made their way to the web as of press time.

State Level Tournaments Are Up Soon

A lot of the upcoming shifts will be created from state level activities such as these, but they could still impact the national order as each of the teams in our report has gathered a cache of evidence against the others that can be used in future evaluations.

Indiana is done with dual meets and kicks off their four-part state tournament series with sectionals this weekend. Others with some form of postseason activity are Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and Utah.

12-Clovis, CA

Previous No. 12

Faced Clovis North in a dual on Wednesday.

13-Edmond North, OK

Previous No. 13

Finished second at the Yukon Jay Hancock Memorial Tournament to Stillwater. With the history these two have, we are still giving North the nod in the rankings, as Stillwater was third at the COAC, behind newly added, Mustang.

14-Mustang, OK

Previous Not Ranked

Came out of the blue to win the Geary Invitational ahead of Broken Arrow, Tuttle, and Stillwater. We felt that was a fluke, but then they were second at COAC to Edmond North, but once again ahead of Stillwater. Following that they headed out to Cali and won the MidCals Tournament. Buchanan didn’t have their “A-Team” on the mats, but third-place Gilroy did, giving farther validity to Mustang’s recent run. Since they avenged tournament losses to Broken Arrow and Tuttle at Geary, along with their recent results – its’ obvious, they are not a fluke.

15-Stillwater, OK

Previous No. 25

Won the Yukon Jay Tournament but other recent history is giving us our current Oklahoma arrangement.
