Expansive youth programs, quality coaching at all levels. Steel sharpens steel mentality that builds on those other two points.

I grew up in Cleveland. All my friends who were serious about wrestling all went to PA for off-season camps.

Proximity matters. Of course, Clevelanders would go to Pennsylvania rather than Iowa, but Ohio is no slouch either. An OH/MI alliance could amass some solid talent in comparison.

Why not Jeff Jordan’s state champ camp?

Was that a thing back in the 80's? I graduated high school in 1993.

No I went in early 2000s. It was a camp put on by Jeff Jordan who was the coach at St Paris Graham high school. They were so dominant back then, not sure about now though.

Edit: never mind they still are. They’ve won the state tourney every year since 2001.
