Population of a state means alot in regards to how deep wrestlers are in each weight class. But I do believe that most states that are active in wrestling, have about the same quality of state champs.
Wrestling requires 4 things in my opinion, genetics, comprehension,spirit, and the availibility to get the proper training.I feel that some kids have some of these traits and a few have all, but it is based mainly on population, not what area you live in.
