The way I see it is what year is the wrestler on, top or bottom? If the wrestler placed on the bottom side and now is on the top AA for sure.
The other side of that is that if the wretler placed on the top side and is now on bottom side I would say A.
There are alot of placers that may make it to state but not place on the bottom side of the age group. When they are on the top they may place.
That is how I have always looked at it.
