PIN ratings announced for U17 Freestyle Nationals at CLAW U.S. Open in Las Vegas, April 26-27
by Gary Abbott, USA Wrestling
Updated USA Wrestling PIN ratings have been released for the 2025 U17 Freestyle Nationals, which is part of the CLAW U.S. Open Championships in Las Vegas, April 26-27.
The top 10 wrestlers in each weight class based on USA Wrestling Freestyle PIN ratings, are listed below.
PIN ratings are not seeds. PIN ratings and athlete separation within each bracket are not final until after weigh-ins and subject to change based on final entries.
USA Wrestling’s Performance Index, abbreviated as PIN, is used for separating top athletes at USA Wrestling regional and national events. Each wrestler is assigned a PIN rating based on his or her results over time.
The only 2024 U17 Freestyle Nationals champion who received a No. 1 PIN this year is Samuel Sanchez of California at 51 kg. Sanchez was the champion last year at 45 kg, and went on to win a gold medal at the 2024 U17 World Championships.
Alex Taylor of Ohio is the only wrestler to have a No. 1 PIN in both freestyle and Greco-Roman at this year’s U17 Nationals. Taylor will be competing today in the Greco-Roman division, and return tomorrow for the start of the freestyle tournament.
Taylor is one of three 2024 16U Nationals freestyle champions who have received No. 1 PINs at this year’s U17 Nationals in freestyle, joined by Noah Bull of Utah (65 kg) and Aaron Stewart of Illinois (80 kg).
2024 U15 Nationals freestyle champions who received No. 1 PINs in this year’s U17 Freestyle Nationals include Keegan Bassett of Pennsylvania (45 kg) and Chase Karenbauer of Pennsylvania (45 kg).
Others with No. 1 PINs are Grey Burnett of Ohio (55 kg), Mason Carlson of Utah (60 kg), Gary High of Tennessee (71 kg) and Ronan An of Georgia (92 kg).
This event is the qualifier for the U.S. men’s freestyle team for the 2025 U17 World Championships in Athens, Greece, July 28-August 3.
All of the action will be broadcast live on FloWrestling.
