With akmat.org and its wrestling rankings no longer on the internet, Kenai Central head wrestling coach Stan Steffensen has started the Alaska Coaches Wrestling Poll. These are the Division II rankings as of Thursday. There were not enough responses for Division I and girls wrestling, but Steffensen said he wants to include those divisions in the future.
