There’s a new No. 1 in the USA TODAY High School Sports/National High School Coaches Association Super 25 wrestling rankings.
Blair Academy (Blairstown, N.J.) returns to the top spot after defeating former No. 1 Wyoming Seminary (Kingston, Pa.) 35-20 on Sunday in a dual meet that was postponed a day by the blizzard.

Blair was ranked No. 1 in the Preseason Super 25, but dropped to No. 2 after Seminary won the season-opening Walsh Jesuit Ironman Tournament. Wyoming Seminary has held the No. 1 ranking for the last six weeks.
The two will get another shot at each other in the season-ending National Prep Wrestling Championships at Lehigh University at the end of February.
This Sunday, SEM will have a chance to rebound from the Blair loss when it hosts No. 5 Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.) in a dual meet.
Malvern Prep (Malvern, Pa.) returns to the rankings. Malvern’s only dual meet loss has been to Wyoming Seminary. All of the other Super 25 teams held their spots this week.
Aside from the SEM/Bergen match, Thursday’s California showdown between No. 6 Buchanan (Clovis) and No. 9 Clovis will shape next week’s rankings.
