The High Plains Invite is a battlefield every year, but with the weather putting a stop to a handful of 2016 tournaments, this is going to be a 2-day war. Twelve weight classes feature two or more ranked wrestlers. 126 and 152 have 5 wrestlers ranked in the top 5 in class B, C and D.The potential semifinals at 138 could very well be a preview of what the 138 state semifinals could look like. 220 has the first and second ranked wrestlers in class B, along with Jesus Maganda of Schuyler who beat top ranked Gutzmer of Columbus Scotus earlier this week in dual action. There are 6 top-ranked wrestlers and 9 second-ranked wrestlers in the tournament.
