Riley Hanrahan vs Nora Akpan

A Fargo rematch is on the docket for 140 Pounds at Who's Number One! Junior national champ Nora Akpan will try to defeat U17 World Team Trials runner-up Riley Hanrahan for second time since July. However, this time the top spot in the national rankings is on the line!

Hanrahan notched several big wins at the team trials in April of 2025, but it was Akpan who wouldn't be denied in North Dakota, running the gauntlet and picking up a stop sign along the way.

Both competitors hail from the Midwest, as Akpan is from Minnesota and trains at the Pinnacle Wrestling School, while Hanrahan is from Wisconsin and is a pupil of the Team Nazar Training Center.

115lbs
Taylor Whiting vs Reagan Mathers

Taylor Whiting will attempt to reclaim a number one ranking in Coralville as newly minted Fargo champ Reagan Mathers toes the line to try and stop her. With Epenesa Elison moving up to 120, the top spot at 115 is Whiting's for the taking, as she returns to Who's Number One after a victorious appearance in 2024.

But it won't be easy for the Wisconsinite and Team Nazar Training Whiting. Mathers, who hails from Phoenix, Arizona, attends Valiant Prep, one of the strongest high school programs in the nation. Mathers also navigated deep field in Fargo to win a 16U national title to shoot up the rankings, setting up a matchup with an established competitor like Whiting.
