2025-26 Girls National High School Wrestling Rankings

135 Pounds

Welcome to the first edition of FloWrestling's girls' national high school wrestling rankings!

Our first attempt at these rankings will inevitably contain imperfections, whether it be incorrect information associated with the ranked wrestlers or a ranking order that must be adjusted due to results the rankers were unaware of or just failed to adequately account for. None of this is an attempt to create excuses for our less than perfect rankings, but to merely preface our request for any and all feedback related to the rankings to please be sent via email to Andrew Spey (andrew.spey@flosports.tv) or Kyle Klingman (kyle.klingman@flosports.tv). We strive to create the most excellent rankings possible, and any comments, critiques, or corrections that help us reach our goal will be very much appreciated!  

Taina Fernandez continues to be as dominant a high school wrestler as we've seen in a long time, blitzing her way to two stop signs in Fargo (securing both a 16U and Junior national championship) and claiming another a record fourth Super 32 belt. Morgan Lucio has a firm grip at #2, as she was a runner-up to Fernandez at both Fargo and Super 32. 

Carley Ceshker enters at #3, and was difficult to place as she wrestled Fargo at 130 but Super 32 at 138, so we split the difference and ranked her at 135. Ceshker's track record, including an invite to Who's Number One in 2023, gives her the benefit of the doubt, but she has many challengers in a deep weight class. For instance, she lost to Kailin Sebert at Fargo but then placed third at Super 32, losing only to Nora Akpan (who we're ranking at 140), which included a pin over Sebert (who placed seventh) along the way. All of which is to say that this will likely be a volatile weight class moving forward.
