Returning 2A State Qualifiers for 2026-27

Earlier this month, in an attempt to take a look at the new girl’s state tournament(s), we posted returning state qualifiers for the girls. Even though there aren’t any systematic changes to the boys state tournament, why not do it for them, as well.
We’ve already started with 6A and will work our way down to 1A.
Like the girls, 2026 state medalists have been listed first, with everyone else falling beneath them in alphabetical order. Remember, this isn’t a ranking.
For now, I just have everyone back at their 2026 state tournament weights. I know that many wrestlers will probably move weights between now and the 2026-27 season - I’m not trying to reflect those changes, yet.
