The final National Girls High School Rankings for the 2023-24 season have been released. The rankings are a product of USA Wrestling, FloWrestling, and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Six of the seven incoming recruits for Iowa are ranked. Karlee Brooks remained #1 at 120 and is #16 in the P4P (Pound for Pound). Cadence Diduch is #2 at 135 and #12 P4P and Naomi Simon is #2 at 170 and #13 P4P.

Cadence Diduch(62kg) won Bronze and Naomi Simon(76kg) placed fifth at the Grand Prix of Spain last weekend.
Diduch and Simon won U20 Nationals in April. They will represent Team USA at the 2024 U20 World Freestyle Championships in Pontevedra, Spain on September 2-8.
