Out of the 18 teams that participated in the Wrestling competition, Brecksville Ohio left with 4 gold medals, the most out of any team. Potomac Valley Red was right behind them with three gold medals. Ohio Scarlet, Minnesota Black and Potomac Valley Black all had two gold medals each.

Overall, Minnesota Black took home 15 medals, the most out of anyone. Brecksville Ohio and Ohio Scarlet followed close behind with 14 each. Minnesota Black earned four gold, four silver, 2 bronze and five copper medals to round out their total count.
