Check out the top 15 Performance Index (PIN) for each Junior and 16U women’s weight class in Fargo

USA Wrestling developed the Performance Index (PIN) April of 2023 as a new data-driven measurement for every athlete member of the organization who has results at USA Wrestling events, United World Wrestling events and other major competitions.

The PIN was used to separate athletes at a number of major USA Wrestling national events this spring and summer, with an excellent record of predicting what athletes might reach the finals or earn a spot on the podium.

The 2023 USMC Junior and 16U Nationals will not use the PIN for separation, instead using the existing system of separation as approved by the appropriate age-group committees.

However, heading into Fargo this year, USA Wrestling would like to publish the the top 15 PIN data for each weight class in all six national tournaments, as a way to help preview the top contenders. This was based upon registrations as of July 10, 2023.

The PIN has been revised to consider a specific style (freestyle, Greco-Roman, folkstyle). For this review, we are looking at the freestyle PIN for the women athletes competing in Fargo.

The top Junior Women’s PIN, regardless of weight class, was registered by Zao Estrada of South Carolina with 1,276 points. The top 16U Women’s PIN, regardless of weight class, was registered by Bella Williams of Oklahoma with 1,264 points.

The top PIN in each Junior Women’s weight class went to Katey Valdez of Colorado (100), Heather Crull of Indiana (106), Zao Estrada of South Carolina (112), Fernanda Lopez of Texas (117), Alejandra Valdiviezo of California (122), Kylie Rule of Wisconsin (127), Hanna Errthum of Wisconsin (132), Faith Bartoszek of Wisconsin (138), Skylar Little Soldier of Minnesota (144), Stella Steigler of Virginia (152), Alexandra Hofrichter of Wisconsin (164), Sabrina Nauss of Michigan (180), Savannah Isaac of Ohio (200) and Chloe Hoselton of Illinois (225).

The top PIN in each 16U Women’s weight class went to Morgan Turner of Illinois (94), Caley Graber of Minnesota (100), Kayla Batres of Connecticut (106), Emma Bacon of Pennsylvania (112), Isabella Marie Gonzales of California (117), Bella Williams of Oklahoma (122), Madilyn Peach of Wisconsin (127), Jordyn Fouse of Pennsylvania (132), Isis France of Oklahoma (138), Skylar Slade of Iowa (144), Sarah Henckel of Connecticut (152), Piper Fowler of Tennessee (164), Juliana LeFort of Texas (180) and Caroline Hattala of Pennsylvania (200).

ABOUT THE USA WRESTLING PIN

• The USA Wrestling Performance Index (PIN) measures consistency over time and rates the probability of a person winning against an opponent based on their bodies of work.
• A person with a higher PIN is considered more likely to beat someone with a lower PIN and the closer the PINs are between athletes, the closer the probability gets to 50/50 chances.
• This does not reward the one-time win or head-to-head over an opponent. What it does is reward an athlete’s consistency over time. If you consistently beat people with higher PINs, you will gain PIN points to surpass them in the index, given that you do not lose to lesser competition along the way.
• The more you wrestle, the more opportunity you have to change your PIN.
• The baseline number for a person’s PIN is 1,000 points. The more points your PIN has above 1,000 reflects positive success against your opponents.
• An athlete’s PIN, will constantly be updated based upon a member’s results against their specific opponents.
