Number 1 can be an issue with seeding. But not really. The Newton tournament did a good job of seeding based on the available info of the predominately instate teams. 10 of the weight classes were won by the 1st or 2nd seeded wrestler. Only 5 of the weight classes were won by the number 1 seeded wrestler.
