Earlier, we compared how each state performed at this year's Fargo in the men's divisions to their historical results. Now, thanks to Jason Bryant's handy Fargo Almanac, we can dig into the women's numbers as well.
We looked up the total number of All-Americans each state earned in the cadet (now U16) and junior women's tournaments. Finding that data in Jason's Almanac was a snap, as it truly is a font of fantastic Fargo facts.
We then divided that total by the number of years those tournaments were held (8 years for cadets, 17 years for juniors) and compared the average AAs/year with the medal haul from this year's event.
Below are the numbers for cadets.

Big ups to Missouri's U16 team for getting nearly six more podium placers than average. One of this year's standouts was the exceptionally named Nonnie Justice, who's stop-sign winning match can be viewed in the video below.
Powerhouses California and Illinois also did well, even for their lofty standards.

Washington had a whopping 14 All-Americans in the 2019 junior women's freestyle tournament. That was the second-most of any state at Fargo (California was first with 15) and, more impressively, over eight more medals than the Evergreen State typical scores.
One of Washington's stars of Fargo was 132-pound champ Kaylee Moore, who's finals match is below.
Team Michigan was likely most disappointed in their performance, managing just one All-American when they've averaged five a year over the last 17 years.
And also, because I have the numbers right here, let's check out the awesome growth in the number of female entries at Fargo.
That is outstanding growth.
