  1. This week was a wild one in the Big 12 with both individual and team upsets. Oklahoma State has now beaten Iowa State and Missouri, firmly establishing themselves at the top of the Big 12. South Dakota State is the only other school undefeated in conference after two more dominating wins, setting up another huge Big 12 dual. California Baptist got only their second Big 12 conference win of all time and first over a ranked opponent with a win over Air Force. West Virginia and Northern Iowa had an under-the-radar dual filled with wild matches. With the dual season close to an end, it’s clear that many Big 12 teams are developing and nearly ready to peak for the postseason. Air Force (Overall: 3-6; Conference: 1-5): Dual Results Air Force dropped a conference dual against California Baptist 21-15. The Falcons got wins from Giano Petrucelli, Noah Blake, Sam Wolf, and Wyatt Hendrickson. Hendrickson scored his 10th pin over a Division I opponent this season, all in just 13:38 of match time. Air Force dropped a number of close matches at 125, 133, and 141 which made the dual. Next Up: Air Force hosts Utah Valley on February 9th and American on February 11th. California Baptist (Overall: 4-8; Conference: 1-5): Dual Results The Lancers scored their first conference win of the season and just second in program history. They won six matches, including bonus points from Chaz Hallmark and Eli Sheeran. They were in a hole after a Wyatt Hendrickson pin at heavyweight but reeled off four consecutive wins to cap off the dual. The decisions didn’t come easy, with Eli Griffin, Hunter Leake, and Darren Green winning all within a takedown. Next Up: California Baptist hosts Big 12 opponent Northern Iowa on February 9th. Iowa State (Overall: 11-2; Conference: 4-1): Dual Results The Cyclones hosted the WVU Mountaineers and came away with a 29-11 dual win. They were missing typical starters at 141 and 184, with Sam Hrabovsky and Tate Naaktgeboren. Those two dropped major decisions, and Julien Broderson lost to Dennis Robin. Casey Swiderski scored a 7-4 sudden victory win, firmly establishing himself as the favorite at the weight. David Carr looked impressive as well, dismantling Peyton Hall 10-5. MJ Gaitan scored a huge fall over fellow redshirt freshman Brody Conley. The team also got bonus point wins from Evan Frost, Cody Chittum, and Yonger Bastida. Next Up: Iowa State duals Northern Iowa at home on February 11th. Missouri (Overall: 8-2; Conference: 4-1): Dual Results A banged-up Missouri team hosted Big 12 rival Oklahoma State and lost a 24-10 dual in front of a record crowd of over 6200 fans. Noah Surtin, Brock Mauller, and Peyton Mocco took upset losses while the team took a forfeit at 133 and put Joel Mylin at 149 after Logan Gioffre was injured in warmups. O’Toole got another top-ten win, this time over Izzak Olejnik 5-1. The Tigers finished the day strong with wins from the Elam brothers, but it was overall a forgettable day for the Tigers who are going into a two-week break. Next Up: Missouri hits the road against NDSU on February 16 and SDSU on February 18th. North Dakota State (Overall: 3-9; Conference: 2-4): Dual Results (UVU) | Dual Results (WYO) The Bison dropped two conference duals on the road, starting with a 24-14 loss to Utah Valley and following it up with a 30-13 loss to Wyoming. Gaven Sax and Maxwell Petersen both went 2-0 with Sax getting two tech falls. Petersen won a tight one over Utah Valley’s Isaiah Delgado but dominated a ranked Gabe Willochell with a 19-4 tech fall. The Bison also got wins from Landen Johnson, Brendan Howes, and Devon Dawson between the two duals. Next Up: NDSU hosts Missouri on February 16th. Northern Colorado (Overall: 8-5; Conference: 1-4): No Competition. Next Up: The Bears have their last home dual against Utah Valley on February 10th. Northern Iowa (Overall: 5-5; Conference: 4-1): Dual Results The Panthers had an under-the-radar wild, 26-12 dual win over West Virginia at home. They started with a back-and-forth match at 125 where Trever Anderson dropped a match to Jett Strickenberger 9-6. Cael Happel scored an impressive major over Jordan Titus, just his second loss on the year. Ryder Downey and Jared Simma scored late takedowns to win their matches, including Simma chasing down Brody Conley and scoring late for the upset. After starting their dual season 1-3 Northern Iowa is now 4-2 in their last six including a one-point loss to Nebraska. Next Up: The Panthers travel to California Baptist on February 9th then Iowa State on February 11th. Oklahoma State (Overall: 12-0; Conference: 6-0): Dual Results (ASU) | Dual Results (MIZ) Oklahoma State continues to roll and has their most wins in an undefeated season since 2019. They started with a 28-9 win over Arizona State that saw Troy Spratley score an impressive 13-5 major over Richie Figueroa. They weren’t able to beat ASU’s All-Americans at 149, 157, and 285 but were close in all matches and dominant in the rest. The Cowboys followed that up with a dominating win over Missouri, with a forfeit and six match wins. Troy Spratley continued his strong weekend with an overtime win over Noah Surtin. Daton Fix bumped up to take on a dangerous Josh Edmond and beat him 2-1 with a stalling point. Teague Travis and Brayden Thompson were big winners as well, beating returning All-Americans Brock Mauller and Peyton Mocco. While OK State had questions at the start of the year they are now rounding into a strong trophy contender team. Next Up: Oklahoma State wrestles SDSU at home on February 10th. Oklahoma (Overall: 5-5; Conference: 2-4): No Competition. Next Up: The Sooners host SDSU on February 9th. South Dakota State (Overall: 11-2; Conference: 5-0): Dual Results (WYO) | Dual Results (UVU) The Jackrabbits took out two more conference opponents over Wyoming and Utah Valley and are quietly undefeated in the Big 12. They started with upset wins against Wyoming to win the dual 33-3. Tanner Jordan took out Jore Volk 2-1 and Alek Martin majored Gabe Willochell. Tanner Sloan scored his 100th win with a pin in the first period and has won his last 34 dual matches. History repeated itself against Utah Valley as SDSU once again won 33-3. Caleb Gross dropped a 2-0 decision to Haiden Drury, while Tanner Sloan beat Evan Bockman 5-0 in the only ranked match of the night. Next Up: South Dakota State wrestles at OU on February 9th and Oklahoma State on February 10th. Utah Valley (Overall: 2-4; Conference: 1-4): Dual Results (NDSU) | Dual Results (SDSU) Utah Valley took on the Dakota schools at home and came away with a 1-1 record. They beat NDSU 24-14 for their first Big 12 conference win this season, winning six matches overall. Haiden Drury took out a ranked Gavin Drexler in a wild 8-7 match and Kase Mauger, Jacob Armstrong, and Evan Bockman scored bonus point wins. The dual against SDSU was a tough one as they dropped it 33-3 and Haiden Drury got the only team win. Next Up: Utah Valley duals Air Force on February 9th and Northern Colorado on February 10th. West Virginia (Overall: 9-5; Conference: 2-5): Dual Results (ISU) | Dual Results (UNI) West Virginia had two top 20 duals on the road over the weekend but dropped both matchups. They won three matches against Iowa State but lost the dual 29-11. Jett Strickenberger continues to have wild matches, this one a 10-7 loss to Kysen Terukina. Jordan Titus and Dennis Robin both scored major decisions over nonstarters, although Robin’s win was over blue-chip true freshman Tate Naaktgeboren. Austin Cooley also got a solid win, beating Julien Broderson 10-4. The Mountaineers had more success against Northern Iowa but still dropped their last Big 12 dual 26-12. Jett Strickenberger got a ranked win over Trever Anderson, while Ty Watters and Peyton Hall scored unranked bonus point wins. Titus lost only his second match of the year to Cael Happel, and Brody Conley lost on a last-second takedown. While they’re on a two-dual loss streak, West Virginia can still reach 10 dual wins this season for the second time in as many years. Next Up: West Virginia wrestles Glenville State on February 18th at home to finish their dual season. Wyoming (Overall: 7-6; Conference: 5-4): Dual Results (SDSU) | Dual Results (NDSU) Wyoming is another Big 12 team reaching their stride with a 4-1 record in their last five duals. Their one loss in that time came to SDSU this weekend with a 33-3 dual loss. Cole Brooks beat Caleb Gross, but upsets against Jore Volk and Gabe Willochell were tough to keep up with. The Cowboys recovered against NDSU however, with a dominant 30-13 win. They won seven matches, including five bonus point wins. Cole Brooks scored an impressive 17-2 tech over Gavin Drexler and Ethan Ducca majored a tough Adam Cherne. With seven wins Wyoming has their most dual wins since eight in 2020, a far cry from their 1-10 record last season. Next Up: Wyoming wrestles Oregon State at home for their last dual on February 10th.
  2. We had another great weekend on the mat! A prominent, trophy-contender fell from the rankings of the unbeaten at the hands of a team that lost a heart-breaker last weekend. Additionally, two duals featured top-ten teams squaring off with each other. The fallout from one of those duals was a noteworthy team that lost back-to-back duals for the first time since 2019-20. Here’s what transpired over the weekend in the top ten: 1. Penn State The heavy favorites atop the national rankings continued to prove why they are the best team in the land. Though the Nittany Lions had two upset losses during their dual with sixth-ranked Ohio State, they still managed to cruise to a 19-point win. True freshman Tyler Kasak’s 7-1 victory over ninth-ranked Dylan D’Emilio means that PSU will likely have their entire lineup ranked in the top ten after the new set of rankings drops tomorrow. They’ll also have half of the lineup ranked number one in the nation. The change comes at 141 after Beau Bartlett remained undefeated by downing CKLV champion and third-ranked Jesse Mendez in sudden victory. Next: In one of the most anticipated duals of the season, Penn State travels to Iowa to take on a Hawkeye team that might be a little bit agitated. Not to be overlooked, they’ll also have a rare “Monday Night Wrestling” bout against Rutgers a week from today. 2. Iowa If you looked at the Iowa/Michigan dual, weight-by-weight, you knew that it was going to be much closer than a typical #2 vs. #13 matchup usually is. Michigan dropped after losses to Ohio State and South Dakota State, the latter was while they were missing a handful of starters. From the get-go, Iowa found themselves in a hole losing the first five matches of the dual. Michael DeAugustino and Will Lewan both notched tiebreaker wins over Drake Ayala and Jared Franek at 125 and 157, respectively. Top-ranked 141 lber Real Woods was put on his back and majored by true freshman Sergio Lemely. Iowa’s wins came from 165 lber Michael Caliendo, 184 lber Aiden Riggins, and Zach Glazier at 197. I’m sure many Hawkeye fans will view this loss as “the sky is falling,” however, simply flipping the results at 125/157, both tiebreaker losses, brings the score to one point in Michigan’s favor. Next: Iowa gets to step right back into the fire on Friday night as they host top-ranked Penn State. Initially, we expected this dual to have two #1 vs. #2 matchups; however, with the losses by Iowa on Friday, that probably won’t be the case. Even so, those matches will still be must-watch. 3. Oklahoma State With Iowa on the end of a one-sided loss to Michigan, it’s Oklahoma State’s turn to climb into the second spot in the national rankings, as they are the only unbeaten team in the country, aside from Penn State. Oklahoma State continued to rack up solid wins as they hosted and defeated #19 Arizona State on Friday, then traveled to #9 Missouri on Sunday and grabbed a win that was much more lopsided than initially expected. Redshirt freshman Troy Spratley was one of the standouts from the weekend as he picked up wins over #7 Noah Surtin (Missouri) and #11 Richie Figueroa (Arizona State). The Mizzou dual was expected to be close and a sudden victory win in the opening bout got his team off on the right foot in what ended up being a 24-10 win. Aside from Spratley’s win, the Arizona State dual generally went as you would expect. The Mizzou dual saw Oklahoma State pull upsets over returning All-American’s at 157 and 174 lbs. At 157 lbs, Teague Travis used an early takedown to outlast former high school teammate Brock Mauller. Brayden Thompson prevailed in an overtime scramble to put Peyton Mocco on his back during an 8-1 upset. Also of note, Sam Smith received a forfeit at 133 lbs, as Daton Fix bumped up to 141 lbs and edged #26 Josh Edmond. Next: On Saturday, Oklahoma State hosts #11 South Dakota State in a dual that’s filled with interesting matchups. 4. Nebraska The Cornhuskers only took the mat once this weekend (Saturday) and put together a 29-9 victory over #26 Illinois. Nebraska won eight of ten matches on the day and one of those came at 149 lbs, where top-ranked Ridge Lovett did not wrestle. Two Nebraska wrestlers, Brock Hardy and Silas Allred, logged falls against the Illini. After a loss to Iowa’s Glazier, Allred has rebounded with five straight wins, the last four coming via pin or tech fall. Next: Another big match on Friday night will feature Nebraska against #13 Michigan (soon to be higher). This dual is loaded with good matchups, including one at 149 lbs that featured the top two wrestlers in the conference (Lovett and Austin Gomez). 5. Iowa State It was business as usual for Kevin Dresser’s team as they dispatched #25 West Virginia on Sunday, 29-11. The Cyclones fell in last week’s mega-dual to undefeated Oklahoma State, but bounced back nicely taking seven of ten matches from the tough Mountaineers. One of the high points for ISU came at 149 lbs as Casey Swiderski knocked off super-freshman Ty Watters, 7-4 in sudden victory. Swiderski is now 3-0 with three ranked wins since coming back from a knee injury that sidelined him for almost two months. In a match between a pair of past All-Americans, David Carr got past Peyton Hall, 10-5 at 165 lbs. A match later, redshirt freshman MJ Gaitan pinned fellow freshman #17 Brody Conley in only :37 seconds. Next: On Sunday, Iowa State will face in-state rival #16 Northern Iowa. Great matches are possible at 141/157/285. This dual always seems to be fun and heated, so don’t miss it! 6. Ohio State While the 28-9 loss to Penn State looks unsightly, there were some bright spots for the Buckeyes. At 133 lbs, redshirt freshman Nic Bouzakis knocked off returning All-American and Big Ten finalist #5 Aaron Nagao, 13-7. True freshman Ryder Rogotzke pinned three-time All-American Bernie Truax while trailing in the second period. Ohio State got back on the mats Sunday as they faced #14 Rutgers. The final score was 22-12 in Ohio State’s favor which probably seemed like a good prediction. How each team went about amassing those points was pretty hard to predict. 125 lber Brendan McCrone pulled a slight upset defeating Dean Peterson, 7-1. 197 lber Luke Geog edged 2021 All-American John Poznanski 4-3 and heavyweight Nick Feldman continued to impress with a 4-2 win over seventh-ranked Yaraslau Slavikouski. On the flip side, Bouzakis was an upset victim at 133 lbs and Rogotzke was pinned by Brian Soldano at 184 lbs. 149 lber Dylan D’Emilio fell to 0-2 on the weekend with a sudden victory loss to Michael Cetta. Next: Ohio State has their home finale on Sunday as they host #28 Indiana. 7. NC State For the second consecutive week, NC State thumped an ACC opponent by more than 25 points. Last week it was Pittsburgh, this time it was North Carolina - to the tune of 33-6. After a head coaching change in Chapel Hill, Rob Koll’s team was looking to reclaim the Triangle as their own; however, Pat Popolizio’s team had other plans. In the most anticipated bout of the evening, Ryan Jack edged rival Lachlan McNeil, 4-2 at 141 lbs. With that weight being deep and unpredictable in the ACC, I’d anticipate a couple more meetings between these two in 2023-24. Of note, Jarrett Trombley got a second consecutive start for the Wolfpack at 125 lbs. He responded with a solid win over #29 Spencer Moore. Also, All-American Ed Scott was beaten in sudden victory by Sonny Santiago at 157 lbs. Next: The ACC slate continues on Friday night as NC State hosts Virginia. 8. Cornell Last weekend saw Cornell with three duals over two days. This one wasn’t as packed with only one on Saturday against Columbia. Cornell took seven of ten matches during a 32-9 win. They were boosted by techs from Vito Arujau (133), Meyer Shapiro (157), and Julian Ramirez (165), along with a fall from Lewis Fernandes (285). One of the down notes for Cornell was Chris Foca falling for the second time this year to Aaron Ayzerov at 184 lbs. Foca had been on an eight-match winning streak, six of which came via bonus points. Next: Saturday will feature Cornell on the road against Ivy League foes Penn and Princeton. 9. Missouri You have to go back to the 2019-20 season to find the last time that the Missouri Tigers dropped back-to-back duals. That rarity popped up again on Sunday as Mizzou dropped a 24-10 dual to third-ranked Oklahoma State. The Cowboys won the first five matches of the dual and held an 18-0 lead. Missouri’s first win came from their most decorated wrestler, two-time national champion and top-ranked, Keegan O’Toole. O’Toole got by Izzak Olejnik 5-1 at 165 lbs. The Elam brothers at the end of the lineup accounted for the only other wins for the Tigers. Rocky posted a 8-0 major decision, while Zach edged #9 Konner Doucet, 1-0. Next: Missouri will have off next week before facing the Dakota schools the following weekend. 10. Minnesota The Gophers were at home all weekend and added a pair of Big Ten wins to their ledger by crushing Maryland and Northwestern. Across the two dual meets, Brandon Eggum’s team only dropped two individual matches. Against Maryland, Vance VomBaur and Michael Blockhus picked up wins against ranked opponents. Blockhus’ 8-5 win over Trevor Chumbley represented the most significant win in Minnesota’s 39-0 shutout of Northwestern. The Gopher contingent at 133-149 all won against Northwestern via tech fall. Next: For the second consecutive week, Minnesota will have to deal with a pair of Big Ten opponents. Both are road duals.
  3. A few weeks ago, we took a deep dive into the 125 lb weight class and discovered that during the last six or seven years, there haven’t been “that” many elite-elite recruits at the weight class. That could be a reason for some of the chaos that we’ve seen on a weekly basis. With that in mind, I thought it may be pertinent to look at every single weight class and how their wrestlers were ranked coming out of high school. Higher or lower than 125? For this exercise, we’ve used MatScouts final Big Board rankings for each class. Not all classes had the same number of wrestlers on the Big Board, so that may lead to some unusual-looking “Not Ranked” labels from the Class of 2019. This also looks at just wrestlers who are in InterMat’s rankings as of January 30th. Rankings will be updated tomorrow to account for the action occurring over the weekend. Don’t focus on that as much as the pre-collegiate rankings. The weight class with the most “top-five” ranked recruits was, not surprisingly, 285 lbs (three). However, 174 lbs also had that same number; though two are true freshmen. Going down a notch, 149 and 165 had the most top-ten recruits (five). For shear depth, 133 and 141 had the most top-100 recruits (22). 125 lbs 1. Matt Ramos (Purdue/Minnesota) - Not Ranked: Class of 2019 2. Eric Barnett (Wisconsin) - #36: Class of 2019 3.

  7. As is typically the case during conference dual season, this weekend will be jam-packed with great duals and excellent individual matchups within those duals. Truthfully, there are probably too many to count. However, for brevity’s sake, we’ve singled out 37 individual matches to keep an eye on over the next three days. Remember, to get those iPads and extra devices charged up. 125 lbs #1 Matt Ramos (Purdue) vs. #2 Eric Barnett (Wisconsin) This will be the second #1 vs #2 matchup for Matt Ramos within the last two weeks. He resumed possession of the top spot nationally after winning that clash with Drake Ayala (Iowa). Now up is Eric Barnett, who started the season with a weird match-up loss to Kysen Terukina (Iowa State), but has proceeded to win 15 of his last 16 matches. In an odd weight class, he’s been relatively consistent. Last year, Ramos prevailed 4-3 in this dual. #5 Drake Ayala (Iowa) vs. #12 Michael DeAugustino (Michigan) The first bout in the Iowa/Michigan dual is one of the best with All-American contenders Drake Ayala and Michael DeAugustino. Both performed well last weekend after suffering a loss during the previous one. Ayala notched a pair of wins via tech fall, while DeAugustino had one in his only dual. These two met during the 2021-22 campaign and Ayala prevailed by a point during his true freshman season. #7 Noah Surtin (Missouri) vs. #20 Troy Spratley (Oklahoma State) The Big 12 is very deep at 125 lbs with eight of its wrestlers currently ranked in the top-33 nationally. None of them have stood out as the solid favorite; however, Surtin could be on his way to establishing himself as one. He’s won 12 of 13 matches, losing only to Virginia Tech’s Cooper Flynn in sudden victory. In each of the last two weeks, Surtin’s logged a win over the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational finalists (Nico Provo/Brett Ungar). Troy Spratley has generally been excellent for Oklahoma State. His highlights include handing true freshman Luke Stanich his only loss of the year and downing previous #1 ranked Jakob Camacho. He’s also suffered four losses along the way, which hinder him from a higher ranking. #11 Richie Figueroa (Arizona State) vs. #19 Brandon Kaylor (Oregon State) It’ll be a big weekend for Arizona State’s star lightweight Richie Figueroa. Because of injuries, Figueroa has missed a lot of time this year and doesn’t have too many quality wins under his belt. That could change with Brandon Kaylor and Spratley. Kaylor is looking to rebound after getting stunned by Jeremiah Reno (Little Rock) last weekend. The previous week it was he who notched a significant win via fall over Spratley. Earlier this season, Figueroa met Kaylor’s teammate Caleb Coyle at the Reno Tournament of Champions - we’ll see if the Beaver staff has a game plan for their guy. #11 Richie Figueroa (Arizona State) vs. #20 Troy Spratley (Oklahoma State) Oklahoma State and Arizona State have a nice late-season, non-conference dual lined up and it should start with plenty of action from some talented young lightweights. Figueroa will be looking to finish his regular season on a strong note after most of the first half of his season was disrupted via injuries. A dual against Spratley should get him ready for a Pac-12 slate that is very deep with talented 125’s. Remember, last year, Figueroa went 14-0 splitting time with All-American Brandon Courtney. 133 lbs #5 Aaron Nagao (Penn State) vs. #12 Nic Bouzakis (Ohio State) A week after a major decision loss to Dylan Ragusin (Michigan), things don’t get any easier for Nic Bouzakis, as he draws returning Big Ten runner-up and All-American Aaron Nagao. The big-time recruit, Bouzkais, is looking for a breakout win to help him climb into the top ten as a redshirt freshman. During the Ragusin loss, he did demonstrate he could hang with the upper echelon, at least for a portion of the match. Nagao did not wrestle last weekend after going 1-1 during the Michigan swing. He was pinned in a non-control situation in sudden victory by Ragusin, then picked up a tech fall at Michigan State two days later. #7 Nasir Bailey (Little Rock) vs. #9 Zeth Romney (Cal Poly) Admit it, in November you probably didn’t have this match circled as a “must-watch.” That being said, both Nasir Bailey and Zeth Romney have earned their top-ten rankings. Bailey is amongst the nation’s leaders in tech falls with nine in 19 wins. He’s slick on his feet, but his tilts can end a match quickly. Romney really broke out with a third-place showing at the Midlands. There he posted wins over two-time All-American Sam Latona (Virginia Tech) and EIWA champion Michael Colaiocco (Penn). Since the Midlands, Romney is 5-0 with two falls and a tech. #12 Nic Bouzakis (Ohio State) vs. #13 Dylan Shawver (Rutgers) This match could end up playing a critical role in Big Ten seeding as Nic Bouzakis and Dylan Shawver are both the third and fourth-highest B1G wrestlers in the national rankings and currently reside next to one another. Shawver is looking to snap out of a minor two-match losing streak, his only such one of the season. Bouzakis will be coming off a tough match on Friday night against Nagao. Another loss by either could potentially send them into a tailspin. 141 lbs #2 Beau Bartlett (Penn State) vs. #3 Jesse Mendez (Ohio State) It doesn’t matter what weight they start at - this is the main event of the Penn State/Ohio State dual. Undefeated second-ranked Beau Barlett against a one-loss CKLV champion Jesse Mendez. Since Mendez moved up from 133 lbs last year, we haven’t seen this matchup at the collegiate level. Bartlett had a few close calls lately, but really impressed in his last outing when he majored #17 Kal Miller (Maryland). In back-to-back Fridays, Bartlett will have Mendez, then top-ranked Real Woods (Iowa). The move up in weight, combined with his second year in Columbus has proven to be fruitful for Mendez who has tallied bonus points in more than 85% of his matches. #4 Ryan Jack (NC State) vs. #5 Lachlan McNeil (North Carolina) A big one for ACC supremacy here; actually maybe not, as Cole Matthews (Pittsburgh) asserted himself again last weekend by beating Ryan Jack and reminding us that he’d ruled this weight in the ACC for the better part of two years. Lachlan McNeil also suffered an ACC loss last weekend at the hands of Tom Crook. However, this one plays out, good luck trying to seed the ACC Tournament at this weight. Though McNeil got on the NCAA podium last year and Jack didn’t, the Wolfpack wrestler has beaten McNeil in their last three meetings. The most recent came at the 2023 CKLV Invitational. #6 Cael Happel (Northern Iowa) vs. #10 Jordan Titus (West Virginia) What a weekend for West Virginia’s Jordan Titus! He’ll have duals against two of the top-nine 141 lbers in the nation. Titus has had a breakout year in 2023-24 with a Midlands title and only one loss in 18 matches prior to February. Last weekend, Titus had to grind out a win over #26 Josh Edmond (Missouri) in tiebreakers. Cael Happel is coming off a successful trip through Oklahoma with a pair of wins over opponents from both Big 12 schools. Most notable is a 4-2 win over Tagen Jamison (Oklahoma State), the wrestler responsible for Titus’ only loss. #9 Anthony Echemendia (Iowa State) vs. #10 Jordan Titus (West Virginia) Before facing Happel, Titus will have to contend with Anthony Echemendia on Friday. Echemendia lost on Saturday night to Jamison. Both matches featuring Titus this weekend could go a long way to figuring out Big 12 seeding at this weight. Really it could turn out to be a mess. Echemendia’s loss to Jamison snapped an eight-match winning streak, where all of his victories included bonus points. #11 Wyatt Henson (Lock Haven) vs. #14 Josh Koderhandt (Navy) Looking ahead to NCAA seeding, Wyatt Henson could provide quite the conundrum. While he holds a sparkling 28-1 record, Henson has yet to face an opponent in the top-ten. His only loss came to a wrestler who is redshirting (Joey Olivieri - Rutgers) and Koderhandt represents his last significant test before NCAA’s. Not only has Henson racked up wins, but he’s been utterly dominant. Headed into Thursday’s dual with Clarion, Henson has had nine straight tech falls. Koderhandt is a two-time national qualifier who picked up a pair of quality wins in January (2x AA Clay Carlson/Malyke Hines). 149 lbs #1 Ridge Lovett (Nebraska) vs. #8 Kannon Webster (Illinois) After taking a redshirt year in 2022-23, Ridge Lovett assumed the top-billing at 149 lbs and has lived up to the hype. Lovett has been a perfect 19-0 with six falls - three in a row coming into this match. He has tournament titles at the Navy Classic and the CKLV. Kannon Webster was one of the top recruits in the Class of 2023 and has been as good as advertised. Webster only has one loss to date and downed All-American Dylan D’Emililo in mid-January. #4 Kyle Parco (Arizona State) vs. #17 Jordan Williams/Sammy Alvarez (Oklahoma State) Earlier this week, we published an article about some ongoing positional battles. One of them was Oklahoma State at 149 lbs between Jordan Williams and Sammy Alvarez. We might find out the thought process in the Oklahoma State brain trust by seeing who they send out in this dual. On the other side of the mat from the Cowboy duo is three-time All-American Kyle Parco. Parco was third in a loaded CKLV weight class earlier this year. It was his second top-three finish at the tournament in as many years. #6 Austin Gomez (Michigan) vs. #11 Caleb Rathjen (Iowa) If Michigan is able to pull the upset on Iowa, they’ll probably need to get bonus points from their latest addition, Austin Gomez. He was able to deliver last weekend against a top-ten opponent in Dylan D’Emilio and is now 4-0 on the year. Caleb Rathjen appears to have taken control of the 149 lb weight class for the Hawkeyes. Last weekend, Rathjen dropped an overtime decision to Webster and won via fall against Northwestern. #7 Ty Watters (West Virginia) vs. #10 Casey Swiderski (Iowa State) West Virginia has been one of the more pleasant surprises team-wise and true freshman Ty Watters has contributed to their improvement. He’s only lost three times in 22 matches and quickly flew up the rankings. Watters has only lost once in dual action and has compiled ten falls. Casey Swiderski had a rough true freshman season but turned it on in the postseason with a run to the NCAA Round of 12. He’s moved up to 149 lbs in the offseason and built off of that momentum. Swiderski was fifth in Vegas, but suffered an injury there and didn’t compete for over almost two months. When he returned last weekend, Swiderski didn’t appear to miss a beat with wins over national qualifiers Sammy Alvarez and Willie McDougald (Oklahoma). McDougald is the one wrestler to defeat Watters in dual competition. #9 Dylan D’Emilio (Ohio State) vs. #12 Tyler Kasak (Penn State) Penn State fans have been patiently waiting for a big-time test for one of their blue-chip true freshmen, Tyler Kasak. It appears they’ll get it tonight with 2023 All-American Dylan D’Emilio. Kasak has passed every test thus far since taking over for injured All-American Shayne Van Ness. His biggest win thus far is a 16-0 tech fall over bloodround finisher Graham Rooks (Indiana). Two weeks ago, D’Emilio posted two major decision wins over national qualifiers; however, D’Emilio met that same fate against Austin Gomez last week. #13 Drew Roberts (Minnesota) vs. #14 Ethen Miller (Maryland) After the top ten or twelve wrestlers at 149 lbs, there are a lot of new names that you may not necessarily expect to see in the rankings. Or perhaps, there are some wrestlers who have taken some unusual losses along the way. Both Drew Roberts and Ethen Miller have a few head-scratching losses, but have also been very solid for their respective Big Ten institutes. Whoever prevails in this matchup will continue to prove they belong in the top half of the rankings at this weight class. 157 #2 Jared Franek (Iowa) vs. #12 Will Lewan (Michigan) If you’re going through potential upset scenarios for the University of Michigan against second-ranked Iowa, this would be one that they need and a match that’s certainly realistic for them to win. Both Jared Franek and Will Lewan tend to engage in low-scoring contests, especially when facing top competition. That statement held true last season when the pair met in the NCAA consi quarters and Franek prevailed, 3-2. #4 Jacori Teemer (Arizona State) vs. #17 Teague Travis (Oklahoma State) As a starter for Oklahoma State, Teague Travis won his first seven collegiate duals and was unbeaten at 157 lbs. That streak ended last weekend with a loss to UNI’s Ryder Downey. It doesn’t get any easier for Travis this week as he’ll square off with two-time All-American Jacori Teemer. It’ll represent the first of two, multiple-time AA’s he’ll face this weekend (Brock Mauller/Sunday). Teemer, a Midlands champion and CKLV finalist, lost during his first 2024 dual, but bounced back with a :16 second fall two days later. #5 Michael Blockhus (Minnesota) vs. #18 Trevor Chumbley (Northwestern) Michael Blockhus got off to a great start in the Big Ten dual season with wins over top-five opponents in each of his first two B1G duals. Northwestern’s Trevor Chumbley represents one of only two remaining ranked foes on the rest of Blockhus’ Big Ten slate. Could Blockhus be looking at an undefeated conference record and potentially a top-two seed in Maryland? Vegas placer (eighth) Trevor Chumbley obviously has different plans. He’s lost two of his three Big Ten duals and is looking to build momentum heading into the postseason. #19 Brayton Lee (Indiana) vs. #21 Chase Saldate (Michigan State) 157 lbs is loaded with plenty of top contenders. That’s not a secret - it’s been a fun weight class to follow all year. An x-factor or wild card at this weight is Indiana’s Brayton Lee. If healthy, Lee could be a high All-American. He’s only competed three times thus far, but looked good recently against Purdue’s super freshman Joey Blaze. Chase Saldate is a proven veteran who represents another test for Lee. Last season, while Lee was wrestling through injuries, he fell to Saldate, but defeated him twice in 2021. 165 lbs #1 Keegan O’Toole (Missouri) vs. #3 Izzak Olejnik (Oklahoma State) We’ve got a clash between one of the Hodge Trophy favorites and one of the most improved wrestlers in the nation. Keegan O’Toole has earned bonus points in 11 of 13 matches this season. One of those two regular decisions came up at 174 lbs and the other was last weekend against Peyton Hall. O’Toole went back to his string of dominant performances by posting a major decision over Julian Ramirez (Cornell) two days later. Izzak Olejnik defeated Ramirez in the CKLV finals which occurred amidst a 16-match winning streak to start the season. That doesn’t include a win over two-time All-American Dean Hamiti (Wisconsin) at the All-Star Classic. While Olejnik was an All-American last year at Northern Illinois, he’s taken the next step to become a title contender at Oklahoma State. #2 David Carr (Iowa State) vs. #8 Peyton Hall (West Virginia) Last weekend saw David Carr cruise to an 8-1 decision over the CKLV champion Olejnik. In Vegas, Carr suffered his first regular season loss since December of 2019. He has bounced back nicely placing third and racking up three falls and two techs in the seven matches that followed Vegas. Hall made the NCAA podium in 2022 but missed in 2023. Now he’s looking like a good bet to get back this season. He downed Olejnik in mid-January, then pushed O’Toole to the brink last weekend. #6 Michael Caliendo (Iowa) vs. #10 Cam Amine (Michigan) 2023’s Big 12 Freshman of the Year, Michael Caliendo, moved on from North Dakota State to Iowa in the offseason and has fit in quite well in his new surroundings. Caliendo has won 18 of 19 bouts in the customary black Hawkeye singlet, including 11 in a row. He’s expected to meet three-time All-American Cam Amine tonight. Amine didn’t wrestle last weekend against Ohio State, so there’s a chance he won’t go against the Hawkeyes. Despite both wrestlers making the NCAA podium at 165 lbs last season, they did not meet. 174 lbs #1 Carter Starocci (Penn State) vs. #11 Rocco Welsh (Ohio State) It’s the present versus the future with perhaps the best active wrestler in college (Carter Starocci) against one of the top recruits from the Class of 2023 (Rocco Welsh), one that has already notched some impressive collegiate wins. Welsh has had to step up with the injury to All-American Carson Kharchla and already has a pair of Big Ten dual victories under his belt. Maybe more impressive is his ability to compete with some of the best in the weight class - as Welsh has lost razor-thin decisions to Shane Griffith (Michigan) and Edmond Ruth (Illinois). Starocci recently picked up his 60th straight win, a streak that is tops amongst DI wrestlers. He’s captured bonus points in all of his 2023-24 matches contested and a 19-4 tech fall represents his “closest” match of the year. The three-time national champion has to be the clubhouse leader for the Hodge Trophy. #2 Mekhi Lewis (Virginia Tech) vs. #14 Justin McCoy (Virginia) The headline bout at the Commonwealth Clash is a meeting between a pair of 2023 ACC champions, Mekhi Lewis and Justin McCoy. Lewis is the incumbent, at 174 lbs, and McCoy has moved up from 165. Lewis is unbeaten on the year and has benefitted from three-point takedowns, as his bonus point percentage is above 60% for the first time. McCoy is a 2022 NCAA Round of 12 finisher who is looking to break through and get on the NCAA podium during his final year in Charlottesville. #3 Shane Griffith (Michigan) vs. #8 Patrick Kennedy (Iowa) Despite both of these wrestlers being key factors in the 2023 165 lb weight class, the two did not meet up last season. That’ll change this year, up at 174 lbs, and with Shane Griffith now in the Big Ten. The 2021 national champion recently grinded out a victory over impressive true freshman Rocco Welsh to bring his record to 10-2 wearing the Maize and Blue. Patrick Kennedy stated his case on Friday night with a win over then-third-ranked Edmond Ruth (Illinois). He followed that up with a major decision over Northwestern’s David Ferrante. #11 Rocco Welsh (Ohio State) vs. #13 Jackson Turley (Rutgers) After taking on the three-time national champion on Friday night, Welsh will have his hands full with past All-American Jackson Turley on Sunday. Turley is finally healthy and amidst his best stretch of sustained excellence at the collegiate level. He dropped his first two duals of the year (to top-ten opponents) and has won nine straight, including five Big Ten duals. 184 lbs #2 Dustin Plott (Oklahoma State) vs. #14 Clayton Whiting (Missouri) We’re a little light on the marquee matches at 184 lbs, so this bout between top-15 opponents should suffice. Dustin Plott moved up from 174 lbs in the offseason and has become a bona fide title threat. Plott suffered a setback last Friday to top-ranked Parker Keckeisen; however, he recovered nicely by nearly teching All-American Will Feldkamp (Iowa State). Clayton Whiting has emerged as the starter from a deep Mizzou room - one that includes two other quality 184’s. Whiting took only his second loss of the year on Sunday when he was majored by Cornell’s Chris Foca. 285 lbs #1 Greg Kerkvliet (Penn State) vs. #12 Nick Feldman (Ohio State) Here’s a fun matchup between two wrestlers that were tabbed the number-one overall recruit in their respective recruiting classes. Greg Kerkvliet in 2019 and Nick Feldman in 2022. Kerkvliet, the 2023 NCAA runner-up, has been as good as expected and comes in with a perfect 8-0 record. Nick Feldman is fresh off the biggest collegiate win of his young career. His 4-3 win over Lucas Davison clinched Ohio State’s improbable victory over the Wolverines last Friday night. Feldman has quietly gone 19-3 during his first full year as a starter for the Buckeyes. #5 Zach Elam (Missouri) vs. #9 Konner Doucet (Oklahoma State) I think most people are aware of the two undefeated wrestlers atop the 285 lb weight class in the Big 12 (Hendrickson/Bastida); however, Zach Elam is still perfect as of February. In addition to Elam’s nine dual wins, he has tournament titles this year from the TigerStyle Invite and the Cougar Clash. Even so, Konner Doucet would represent Elam’s toughest challenge thus far. Doucet has been extremely difficult to be in low-scoring overtime matches and even limited damage against Bastida on Saturday night. These two met twice last year with Elam winning both meetings; however, one went to tiebreakers and the other was via a two-point margin. #7 Yaraslau Slavikouski (Rutgers) vs. #12 Nick Feldman (Ohio State) The redshirt freshman Feldman gets another test on Sunday with Rutgers’ contender Yaraslau Slavikouski. Slavikouski has given the Scarlet Knights a podium contender at heavyweight and has been their most consistent wrestler. This match could have significant Big Ten seeding implications, as the winner could be the drivers seat for the third seed, away from Kerkvliet. #20 Hunter Catka (Virginia Tech) vs. #33 Ryan Catka (Virginia) Okay, this matchup doesn’t have the rankings-cache as the other matches do, but it’s brother-on-brother! What’s a mother and father to do? I’m sure they’ve seen this unofficial matchup hundreds of times, but not in a collegiate setting. Keep an eye on Ryan as he’s come on strong of late!
  8. Friday night is always big in the Big Ten! This week is no exception. The Big Ten Network has a doubleheader that features #7 Ohio State at #1 Penn State, followed by #2 Iowa at #13 Michigan. Additionally, #30 Michigan State is at #26 Illinois, Maryland is at #10 Minnesota, and Northwestern is at #23 Wisconsin. Our Big Ten correspondents, Ryan Holmes and Kevin Claunch, sat down to discuss and preview the action in the conference, primarily the two headline duals.
  9. Week Two of Friday Night Duals will see some in-state rivalries taking top billing. Rock and Shawn will have North Carolina at NC State at 8:30pm on ACCNetwork. Pitt will travel to Durham to face the Blue Devils at 7pm on ACCNetwork Extra. The final dual will feature the Hokies coming up 81 to Charlottesville to face Virginia in the John Paul Jones Arena at 7pm on ACCNetwork Extra. There are heavy favorites in each dual--NC State, Pitt, Virginia Tech--but there are some potentially incredible matchups to keep an eye on. #20 Pitt at Duke: The Panthers are coming off a loss to NC State and will be looking to rebound and get back on track against Duke in their first of back-to-back weekends in North Carolina - they will face the Tar Heels next week. I’m looking to see how several people respond after a loss last week. 157: Jared Keslar v Logan Ferrero I have this as a toss-up match that will play a big role in ACC tournament seeding. 165: #15 Holden Heller v Gaetano Console Heller started the season 7-0 before he ran into the top-5 gauntlet of Julian Ramirez, David Carr, and Izzak Olejnik to go on a 0-5 slide. He desperately needs to reset and this match is a great opportunity; Gaetano is no slouch though and will not make that an easy task for Heller. #12 Virginia Tech at Virginia I will be at JPJ to catch the Commonwealth Clash where the favored Hokies will face a newly healthy UVA lineup. This will be a major uphill battle for the Hoos, but they will look to pick up some early upsets to get some momentum on their side. There are a few intriguing matchups in this dual as well. 174: #2 Mekhi Lewis v #14 Justin McCoy Captain v Captain. Reigning ACC Champs. Final Commonwealth Clash. These two have both had lengthy stints at their respective schools, but have been at different weights, until this year. I’ve had this one circled since last year when McCoy told me he would be moving up. They are both incredible competitors and great leaders for their programs. I think this will be a fun one. 141: #13 Tom Crook v Jack Gioffre Crook is coming off a huge upset win over Lachlan McNeil; Gioffre is back to full strength after being sidelined by injury. Very contrasting styles, but could be fireworks if they both open up. 285: #20 Hunter Catka v #33 Ryan Catka Battle of the Brothers. The loser doesn’t get Christmas presents next year. Any wrestler who has a sibling who wrestles knows this dynamic. Big brother Hunter will be looking to show little brother that he is the big dog in the conference. This could be a preview of an important match at ACCs as well. North Carolina at #7 NC State The Wolfpack fans have made it clear that they want to show the new coaching staff in Chapel Hill who is the top program in the state. The Tar Heels will be coming into a rowdy Reynolds Coliseum looking to snag some matches from the Wolfpack and rebound after a tough outing in Blacksburg last week. In a bit of gamesmanship, NC State has listed two options at each weight, so I’m hopeful that we will see the best matchups possible. 125: #26 Spencer Moore v #22 Jakob Camacho or Jarrett Trombley This could be an early chance for the Tar Heels to steal a match. Moore is coming off a close loss to Cooper Flynn last week and has looked solid all year. Trombley dominated Colton Camacho at Pitt last week while Camacho went to the App State Open to get some matches and get back on track. Either option will be a good matchup against Moore and this could be a big match for seeding at ACCs. 141: #5 Lachlan McNeil v #4 Ryan Jack Unexpectedly, both top-5 wrestlers are coming off upset losses last week on the road. McNeil lost to Tom Crook while Ryan Jack fell to Cole Matthews. This was expected to be the ACC final and an early loss for each will make this match even more important. Buckle up, this should be a fun one. 184: #23 Gavin Kane v #10 Dylan Fishback Kane came back from an early deficit to top TJ Stewart in the Tar Heels only win last week. Fishback dropped a tough match to Reece Heller and will be looking to get back on track with a ranked win over All-American Kane. Kane has had some early-season hiccups but has looked solid of late and will be looking for an upset win to move up the rankings.
  10. Columbia head coach Zach Tanelli sat down with Rachel Gallardo to talk about the progress the program has made during his eight years at the helm for the Lions along with the recent changes that will allow Columbia and its Ivy League brethren to qualify for the 2025 NCAA Tournament directly through the conference rather than the EIWA. Tonight, the Lions face Ivy League power #8 Cornell. Tanelli also discusses this important dual. For the full interview:

  13. You hear it all the time, the Big Ten dual meet season is brutal. The amount of top talent in this conference is on full display every week and last weekend was no different. However, as we recap what we saw, we can’t wait to get to Friday for Iowa vs Michigan in a battle between two of the best teams in the country. Tough week for Wisconsin It hasn’t been the easiest time for Wisconsin as they got their Big Ten dual meet season started with three straight losses. Losses to Ohio State (27-15), Michigan State (22-15), and Nebraska (28-9) have the Badgers currently sitting at 0-3 in the conference with duals against Northwestern and Purdue coming up this weekend. Of note, Dean Hamiti has been back down to 165 since the start of the new year and has claimed three straight ranked wins. In addition, Eric Barnett has maintained his consistency with three straight wins through the Big Ten dual grind at 125, which has been the most up-and-down weight class of the year. Hawkeyes Win 18 of 20 in Trip to Illinois Talk about a dominating road trip. Iowa faced off against Illinois and Northwestern last week and dominated by a combined score of 82-6. The six points came from two losses in their dual against Illinois, before they went on to shutout Northwestern a few days later. We also got our second Ben Kueter sighting as well. The true freshman took the mat against Jack Jessen and picked up a 45-second fall to cap off the shutout win in Evanston. This weekend the Hawks have a huge matchup as they head to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan on Friday. Young Buckeyes come through at home Ohio State hosted Michigan on Friday night in front of a raucous home crowd. The momentum in the dual started in favor of the Wolverines as they got bonus point wins at 125 and 133 in ranked matchups. Michigan forfeited at 141 as a result of Sergio Lemley not passing the skin inspection, which was a bummer for those looking forward to that match with Jesse Mendez. They continued with another win at 149 and an OT win at 157 to take control of the dual… or so they thought. Michigan was favored in most of the last matches, but credit to the Buckeyes for not backing down. They got upset wins at 184 with Ryder Rogotzke getting a tech fall over Jaden Bullock, and eventually the dual came down to Heavyweight. Nick Feldman showed that he is as advertised, and got the win over then-fourth-ranked Lucas Davison. That was enough for the Buckeyes to continue to have their bragging rights for another season with the hard-fought 20-19 win in Columbus. Up next for Michigan is hosting Iowa this Friday in Ann Arbor, with Ohio State traveling to Penn State Friday night as well. It’s called the Hoosier state The state of Indiana was up for grabs Saturday with the dual between Indiana and Purdue, and Indiana was ready to rock. Matt Ramos started the dual off quickly with a win for the Boilermakers, but it was a string of Indiana wins after that. 133 through 157 was all Indiana, with Brayton Lee getting a 4-2 win over Purdue’s stud freshman Joey Blaze. In the end, Purdue only got three wins (125, 165, and 197), which is generally not enough to win a dual meet. Roman Rogotzke, brother of the aforementioned Rogotzke of Ohio State, got a nice win at 184 in overtime against James Rowley to essentially seal the dual. Indiana has been wrestling very well this season, and has shown some real consistency throughout their lineup. Indiana hosts Michigan State on Sunday afternoon, and Purdue will host Wisconsin on Sunday afternoon as well. Spartans use bonus points to upset the Badgers There was a theme in Friday night's dual against the Badgers. It was High School Night for Michigan State, and it’s always great to get a win at home with some potential future Spartans in attendance. The match results were split five to five, but Michigan State held Wisconsin to five decisions, where MSU was able to get bonus points at 157, 197, and 285, two of those being falls (157 and 285). Even with the bonus points, Michigan State needed some clutch wins from Layne Malczewski at 184, getting the win over then 16th-ranked Shane Liegel, and Kael Wisler got the major decision over Josh Otto at 197. Up next for the Spartans is a trip to Champaign, IL to take on Illinois on Friday night, followed by Indiana on Sunday afternoon. Wisconsin will be hosting Northwestern at home Friday night, and traveling to Purdue Sunday afternoon.

  15. Virginia Head Coach Steve Garland talks about the state of his team and the adversity they've battled through during the first three months of the season. His team has had to frequently bump wrestlers up and down the lineup because of injuries. Last weekend, The Cavaliers got as healthy as they've been in months, went 2-0, and picked up their first ACC victory. Tomorrow they'll host #12 Virginia Tech in a marquee dual at John Paul Jones Arena. Garland talks about some key individual matches and the overall atmosphere of the event.
  16. Two remaining weeks of Fantasy Regular Season competition. If you’re not doing a carry-over league, you might need to start dropping those highly ranked names for guys who are going to be guaranteed wrestling rather than seed-protecting. Through 13 weeks, we have two wrestlers who have separated themselves from the rest of the wrestling pack in 285 Taye Ghadiali (CAMP) and 141 Wyatt Henson (LHU). Both have 97 Fpts on the season and are #1 and #2 respectively based on their PPM. 149 Caleb Henson, who has been in the tops of the Overall Season rankings this year, comes in at #3 just one point above 197 Stephen Buchanan. See the current Top-25 Overall Season Fantasy Wrestler Standings HERE. For this week, there are three main tournaments to keep an eye on: Edinboro Open, Greyhound Open, and Missouri Valley Open. As usual, entries are still coming in for each of these tournaments, so keep the notifications on for @FantasyD1Wrestl as updates will be posted to the InterMat Forum Fantasy Wrestling Board. A reminder of some important rules: Wrestlers entered at a weight must compete at that weight or else their results will not be counted. Wrestlers in the “Floater” spots can compete at ANY weight and accumulate Fantasy points. A wrestler will LOCK on your roster at 12pm ET on the day of their first competition for the week (refer to the SHP’s Week Preview). Only results against D1 competition (starters, backups, and redshirts) will count towards Fantasy Points. Check your league settings to know how many add/drops are permitted per week.

  17. As we head into February, most teams are wrapping up conference competition and looking ahead to the postseason. A few select teams have that old “good problem” to have with multiple talented wrestlers at the same weight. For whatever reason, neither has jumped out in front of the other and grabbed a hold of the starting position. Below we’ve identified seven prominent teams with uncertain situations headed into February. Each situation is a little bit different. We’ll discuss the parties involved in each battle and when you can expect to get some more clarity regarding each decision. Penn State (149 lbs) Tyler Kasak/David Evans As of Sunday, this battle may be settled. Maybe. True freshman Tyler Kasak and program mainstay David Evans met at the Mat-Town Open and Kasak prevailed, 4-2. It was his second tight win over Evans this season. Just last year, with Levi Haines, we saw Cael Sanderson and the Penn State staff drag that decision down to the very last minute and we’re getting to that point with Kasak, who could still redshirt. This one comes down to what the coaching staff is looking for in 2023-24. It seems like a lock that the Nittany Lions will win the team title. With Kasak, Penn State could perhaps challenge the team scoring mark or Minnesota’s ten All-American mark from 2001. Kasak, ranked 12th at 149 lbs, is the only Penn State wrestler ranked outside of the top-ten in his respective weight class. Even so, the podium half of the podium is ripe for the taking at 149 lbs and Kasak has not lost to anyone outside of the Nittany Lion room. Starting Evans isn’t exactly punting on the weight class for 2023-24, either. Evans could be starting and winning for a lot of teams in the country at 141 or 149 lbs. He’s competed at both this season. In his opening event of the year, Evans downed 2022 All-American CJ Composto (Penn) in sudden victory. Of his three losses on the year, two have come to Kasak. The other was at the Journeymen Collegiate Classic to #15 (141) Malyke Hines (Lehigh). Since moving up to 149, Evans has picked up three dual wins; two against Big Ten foes. There’s an argument to be made that there’s probably not a huge dropoff between the two in 2023-24, in terms of NCAA point scoring. The Penn State brass also has to decide what’s the best for their star recruit, Kasak’s, future. If they keep him in redshirt, will he have four years of potential dominance like a Jason Nolf or Bo Nickal? That may not be the case wrestling him in the 2024 postseason - though it could, as we haven’t seen Kasak against top competitors yet. Iowa (133 lbs) Cullan Schriever/Brody Teske Brody Teske got the head start on Cullan Schriever after the latter had to miss a few dates at the beginning of the year, due to his involvement in Iowa’s gambling probe. Teske did fine, with a title at the Soldier Salute, but suffered a loss to Evan Frost (Iowa State) in the Cy-Hawk dual and a rather lopsided one to Jacob Van Dee (Nebraska) during his last dual appearance at 133 lbs. Since the Van Dee loss, Teske hasn’t seen the mat for the Hawkeye at 133 lbs. True freshman Kale Peterson got the call against Minnesota. Peterson has shown enough to think that he’ll be in this mix in 2024-25. But for now, he’s likely out of the equation and staying in redshirt. Cullan Schriever has been the guy for the last three duals for Iowa and has gotten his hand raised each time; with bonus points to boot. Schriever is now 8-1 on the season with his lone loss coming to Van Dee at the Soldier Salute. In addition to his three Big Ten dual wins, Schriever has beaten #19 Angelo Rini (Columbia) and former national qualifier Jake Gliva (Minnesota). Trying to read between the lines and analyze the situation, you have to think Schriever now has the upper hand. In addition to starting each of the last three duals at 133 lbs, Teske moved up to 141 lbs to spell Real Woods during last weekend’s two matches. Oklahoma State (149 lbs) Sammy Alvarez/Jordan Williams If you would have told me in November that a weight class would be uncertain in late-January for Oklahoma State, I would have guessed 157 lbs, or perhaps, 141. Teague Travis’ emergence at 157 has shored up that weight, while Tagen Jamison grabbed ahold of the 141 role early in the season. One reason that 141 seemed to be up in the air was the presence of Rutgers transfer Sammy Alvarez. During the 2019-20 campaign, Alvarez earned the tenth seed at 133 lbs at the ill-fated 2020 NCAA Tournament. Since then, Alvarez has been in-and-out of the Rutgers lineup, and lacked consistency, while trying to find the right weight class. Alvarez was not available during the first semester due to transfer rules and Jamison posted some strong results at the 141 lb weight class he was assumed to be wrestling. That wasn’t the case and Alvarez’s season got kicked off at the Reno Tournament of Champions, where he went 4-2 at 149 lbs. At the same time, Jordan Williams was a top-ten recruit in the Class of 2022 and started the year as “the guy” for Oklahoma State at 149 lbs. Williams had an impressive showing winning the Lindenwood Open, but then went 2-2 at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. Williams went 2-2 in duals before giving way to Alvarez. On a road trip, Alvarez started with a major decision against Pittsburgh’s Finn Solomon, but lost to freshman Ty Watters (West Virginia). Last weekend, both saw action as the Cowboys hosted a pair of conference foes from Iowa. Williams earned a tech fall over Northern Iowa’s Adam Allard, while Alvarez fell to #10 Casey Swiderski (Iowa State). It’s difficult to read into these results. Does Alvarez have a leg up since he was given the more difficult opponent or does the edge go to Williams, who looked as good as he has all year? Either we’ll have some clarity or more confusion after the upcoming weekend. Arizona State and #4 Kyle Parco looms large on Friday night. Mizzou has #24 Logan Gioffre on Sunday. Again, we’ll be paying attention to who goes where (if the two split matches) and the results from each. Missouri figures to be a much closer match team-wise, but Arizona State has a top-flight 149. Missouri (141 lbs) Josh Edmond/Zeke Seltzer Coming into the year, it appeared as if Missouri’s lineup would feature redshirt freshman Zeke Seltzer at 133 lbs and Josh Edmond at 141. A top recruit from the high school Class of 2022, Seltzer got off to a slow start winning only two of his first seven matches. That span included an 0-2 showing at the Cougar Clash, giving up bonus points in both of his matches against non-starters. When Seltzer resurfaced, later in December, it was at 141 lbs at the Soldier Salute. Though Seltzer took some lumps, he did notch a win over two-time All-American Clay Carlson (South Dakota State). Since then, Seltzer got a dual start at 141 lbs and posted a win over a ranked opponent in #31 Jason Miranda (Stanford). Edmond had a really strong Midlands performance in 2022 while redshirting and started the year with an impressive preseason ranking (#17). He would take two losses within his first two matches, though neither could be classified as “bad” (Kal Miller/Maryland and Mosha Schwartz/Oklahoma). After losing a barnburner to Virginia Tech’s Tom Crook, Seltzer was given an opportunity. Sunday’s dual with Cornell saw Edmond get the start at 141 and Seltzer bumped up to 149. Both took defeats, though Seltzer’s might be more expected, up a weight, against a ranked opponent (Ethan Fernandez). Pay attention to Sunday’s dual against #3 Oklahoma State. Provided both Edmond and Seltzer are healthy, it should be telling who gets the start against eighth-ranked Tagen Jamison. This should be a tight dual and the Mizzou staff would prefer to have the optimal lineup, if available. Michigan (184 lbs) Jaden Bullock/Rylan Rogers This one may have already worked itself out, but we’ll talk about the Michigan Wolverines at 184 lbs, just in case. The #11 overall recruit in the Class of 2022, Rylan Rogers saw some action last season at 184 and 197 lbs, but was penciled in as the successor to Matt Finesilver for the 2023-24 campaign. An early-season injury to Rogers left the door open for Jaden Bullock who took full advantage of his opportunity. Bullock got the nod in Michigan’s first two duals of the year and responded with wins against Rider and Columbia. The Columbia win saw Bullock post a win over a ranked wrestler in Aaron Ayzerov. Even though Bullock got off to a strong start, not many saw his performance at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational coming. Bullock notched wins over All-American Gavin Hoffman (Ohio State) and super freshman Dylan Fishback on his way to a sixth-place finish at a loaded 184 lb weight class. Bullock got on the podium, while three past All-Americans did not. Since Vegas, Bullock has continued to get starts at 184 lbs. He’s gone 3-3 during that stretch, one that’s been highlighted by wins over NCAA qualifiers Layne Malczewski (Michigan State) and Brian Soldano (Ohio State). Unfortunately, in Friday’s dual with Ohio State, Bullock fell behind Ryder Rogotzke early and never recovered, losing via a 21-0 tech fall. While Bullock has provided stability at the 184 lb class, the Wolverines haven’t gotten the same production out of 197. Initially, veterans Bobby Striggow and Brendin Yatooma have been given the first chance to lock down the starting role at 197 lbs. During Michigan’s most recent two duals, Rogers has been the starter. In both instances, he’s lost to ranked opponents. Michigan has a huge dual with Iowa on the docket for Friday. Once again, we’ll see who gets the call for Sean Bormet’s team. This may be a moot point as Rogers might now be able to get down to 184 lbs if he’s bulked up for 197. NC State (125 lbs) Jakob Camacho/Jarrett Trombley Here’s a battle that is probably decided…but, maybe, just maybe it isn’t. Friday’s ACC opener saw 2023 conference champion Jarrett Trombley get the start for NC State, while Jakob Camacho went to Saturday’s Appalachian Open, presumably to boost his match count. Trombley did what he was supposed to Friday against Pittsburgh and majored the Panthers Camacho, Colton. Jakob was a perfect 3-0 at the Appalachian Open. There hasn’t been much drama or uncertainty as to who NC State would start at 125 lbs this year. Camacho rose to number one in the nation, at one point, but quickly dropped after a disastrous 0-3 showing at the Collegiate Duals. The Wolfpack staff still sent Camacho out for their next dual with Oklahoma State, where he was also beaten. I fully expect Camacho to get the start on Friday night against in-state rival North Carolina. Pay attention to the match and the result. He’ll face a capable opponent in #29 Spencer Moore. Two years ago, Camacho beat Moore in that same dual, 7-2. If Moore reverses that result and pulls the upset, does the NC State staff give Trombley another opportunity? NC State next wrestles Virginia before an out-of-conference dual with Cornell. Then on the final weekend of the year, they meet Virginia Tech in one of the most heated rivalries in the sport. The Virginia dual could be pivotal; either a spot for Camacho to keep the momentum going or perhaps for Trombley to make his push. Penn (Multiple Weights) The Midlands presented some good problems to have for Penn as their youngsters performed better than their incumbents at a handful of weights. Since then, the Quakers have had five duals and it appears they have sorted out those question marks in the lineup. Max Gallagher has taken the reigns at 125 lbs and defeated CKLV champion Nico Provo (Stanford) last weekend, before falling to Nick Babin (Columbia) this week. Lucas Revano and Jude Swisher have both seen time at 157 lbs, but Revano pulled ahead after a head-to-head win at Midlands and a third-place showing. He’s since won four of five duals. At 197 lbs, it was Martin Cosgrove who had a better Midlands, but veteran Cole Urbas has gotten the majority of the dual meet action since the calendar turned to January. Penn has the New England contingent of the Ivy League this weekend before a dual with Cornell on the following weekend. If any of their starters stumble before then, the Quakers are very deep and can assume the “next man up” mantra, if needed.
  18. Air Force (Overall: 3-4; Conference: 1-3): Dual Results (SDSU) | Dual Results (NDSU) Taking on the Dakota schools at home Air Force took a 32-9 loss to SDSU but got their first conference win 21-13 over NDSU. After dropping 133-157 the Falcons won the rest of the matches, including major decisions from Giano Petrucelli and Sam Wolf. While they didn’t have that same success against the Jackrabbits they did get bonus points from Wyatt Hendrickson. Sam Wolf was majored by Bennett Berge, only his third loss of the season. While they didn’t win these matches, Air Force was within a takedown from 125-141 against ranked opponents. Next Up: Air Force hosts California Baptist on February 3rd. California Baptist (Overall: 3-8; Conference: 0-5): No Competition. Next Up: California Baptist hits the road for a dual against Air Force on February 3rd. Iowa State (Overall: 10-2; Conference: 3-1): Dual Results (OU) | Dual Results (OKST) Iowa State took a trip to the Oklahoma schools and came back with another win and their first conference loss this season. They got Casey Swiderski back in the lineup at 149, but lost Cody Chittum for the weekend with a concussion. Against OU, they dominated to a 37-4 win, winning nine matches and six bonus point victories. Casey Swiderski beat 2022 Big 12 finalist Willie McDougald 8-3. Jason Kraisser stepped in for Chittum and beat a ranked Jared Hill. MJ Gaitan made a statement with a second-period pin over Tate Picklo and Yonger Bastida continued to dominate from neutral with a 14-4 major over Josh Heindselman. The next day the Cyclones took on fellow top five OK State but lost 21-12. They dropped the first three matches as Terukina and Echemendia were unable to score and Evan Frost was unable to slow down Daton Fix. Jason Kraisser lost some scrambles to Teague Travis, while Will Feldkamp couldn't keep up with Plott’s pressure, narrowly avoiding being teched. Casey Swiderski got another strong win over Sammy Alvarez. David Carr handled Izzak Olejnik 8-1, while MJ Gaitan beat Brayden Thompson in overtime. Julien Broderson gave up a dual-changing major decision to true freshman Jersey Robb, giving a deficit that Yonger Bastida’s win over Doucet was unable to cover. Next Up: Iowa State duals West Virginia at home on February 2nd. Missouri (Overall: 8-1; Conference: 4-0): Dual Results (WVU) | Dual Results (CORN) The Tigers went on a long road trip east and came back with another conference win and their first loss of the season. They started with a 30-6 win over a tough West Virginia team that saw bonus points from Noah Surtin, Kade Moore, and Brock Mauller. Josh Edmond and Logan Gioffre lost competitive matches to Jordan Titus and Ty Watters in entertaining matches. Gioffre took injury time for a rib injury against Watters and proceeded to miss the Cornell dual, an injury to monitor with OK State coming up. Two days later, they traveled to top-ten Cornell and lost 20-16. They started hot as Noah Surtin hit a mixer to pin Brett Ungar, the same move and period he pinned him with at the 2022 Southern Scuffle. Kade Moore followed that up with a big move against returning champ Vito Arujau, putting him on his back for a takedown and nearfall. Vito ended up scoring two rapid-fire takedowns and getting riding time for a 10-9 win. The Tigers struggled from there, dropping the next three, including Mauller giving up bonus points for the first time in his career to Meyer Shapiro. O’Toole majored Julian Ramirez and Peyton Mocco won 8-2, but a major decision loss by Clayton Whiting and Rocky Elam being upset by Jacob Cardenas clinched the Tigers first loss. Zach Elam won a close against Lewis Fernandes 2-1. OK State is up next and could decide the unofficial dual champs and set the stage for the Big 12 tournament. Next Up: Missouri hosts OK State in a massive Big 12 conference dual on February 4th. North Dakota State (Overall: 3-7; Conference: 2-2): Dual Results The Bison fell to .500 on the year in conference duals with a 21-13 loss to Air Force. They won consecutive matches from 133-157, but were missing ranked starter Gaven Sax at 174. His backup Mason Gode lost a one-point decision. Devon Dawson, at heavyweight, gave Wyatt Hendrickson a tough 9-4 match, the closest match Hendrickson has had all year. Next Up: NDSU has road duals at Utah Valley on February 2nd and at Wyoming on February 4th. Northern Colorado (Overall): 8-5; Conference: 1-4): Dual Results The Bears dropped a conference dual against Wyoming 23-16, but not without getting some quality wins. The dual started with Stevo Poulin taking out Jore Volk 3-1, then Dom Serrano majored Garrett Ricks for a strong lead. The team dropped six of the next eight, but Travis Mastrogiovanni at 174 is starting to look like a potential factor for the team. While he doesn’t have ranked wins this season he is now 10-4 on the year and won three of his last four. Next Up: The Bears have their last home dual against Utah Valley on February 10th. Northern Iowa (Overall: 4-5; Conference: 3-1): Dual Results (OKST) | Dual Results (OU) The always-tough Panther team visited the state of Oklahoma and came back after going 1-1 against OK State and OU. They dropped the dual to top-five OK State 22-12 but got big wins at 141, 157, 184, and 197. Cael Happel and Ryder Downey won their matches with a lone takedown against ranked opponents. Parker Keckeisen vs Dustin Plott was the match of the night and Keckeisen took round one 12-6, including two nearfall that were waived off after review. Trever Anderson and Tyrell Gordon came close to upsets, but dropped one-point matches to ranked wrestlers. The team rebounded the next day with a dominant 30-12 win over the Sooners that saw them win six matches, all by bonus. Ryder Downey and Jared Simma scored a major decision and a fall against Jared Hill and Tate Picklo respectively. Anderson, RJ Weston, and Tyrell Gordon went 0-2 on the weekend. Anderson and Gordon again lost close matches, with Gordon going to overtime. Northern Iowa has now won the past seven duals against OU, going back to the 2018 season. Next Up: The Panthers compete against West Virginia at home on February 4th. Oklahoma State (Overall: 10-0; Conference: 5-0): Dual Results (UNI) | Dual Results (ISU) The Cowboys stayed undefeated and got another top-five win this weekend with dual victories over Northern Iowa and Iowa State on back-to-back days. Against Northern Iowa, they won six matches with bonus points from Daton Fix and Jordan Williams. Troy Spratley won another close match against Trever Anderson. Tagen Jamison and Teague Travis lost one takedown matches to higher-ranked opponents. Konner Doucet was 0-2 against Tyrell Gordon, but got a win in rideouts here. Plott lost the first match to Keckeisen, but both wrestlers are likely walking away with plenty of notes in a back-and-forth match that saw Keckeisen score a takedown late. The team continued their strong performance the next day with a 21-12 win over Iowa State. They won the first three, including a bonus from Daton Fix over Evan Frost and Tagen Jamison showing some great defense to beat Anthony Echemendia in sudden victory. Sammy Alvarez lost 8-2 to Casey Swiderski, and with Williams' strong performance against UNI is continuing to look like a relevant lineup battle. Izzak Olejnik and Konner Doucet couldn’t keep up with David Carr and Yonger Bastida but held their losses to decisions. Dustin Plott nearly teched Will Feldkamp and continues to look like a title contender. After coming into the season outside the top ten, the Cowboys are now looking like potentially the top Big 12 dual team. Next Up: Oklahoma State duals Arizona State at home on February 2nd before heading to Columbia, MO on February 4th. Oklahoma (Overall: 5-5; Conference: 2-4): Dual Results (ISU) | Dual Results (UNI) The Sooners went 0-2 against the state of Iowa, losing one-sided duals to Iowa State and Northern Iowa. Iowa State won the dual 37-4, with the lone win coming from Stephen Buchanan and a 19-5 major decision over Caleb Helgeson. Jared Hill and Conrad Hendriksen lost close matches, with Hendriksen going to OT against Kysen Terukina. Against UNI they dropped the dual 30-12, but won four matches. Hendriksen continues to put himself in the conversation at 125, beating Trever Anderson in a 7-6 match. Willie McDougald and Cael Carlson won one-point matches, while Josh Heindselman took out Tyrell Gordon in sudden victory. Jared Hill and Tate Picklo both dropped ranked matches by bonus points and the team was without Stephen Buchanan. Next Up: The Sooners host SDSU on February 9th. South Dakota State (Overall: 9-2; Conference: 3-0): Dual Results SDSU won eight matches against Air Force to take the dual 32-9. It started off with close wins from 125-141, but the Jackrabbits separated with bonus points from Alek Martin, Cael Swensen, Cade DeVos, Bennett Berge, and Tanner Sloan. This was actually Sloan’s first pin of the year, a surprising stat with his 79% bonus rate and seven techs. Berge has firmly established himself as a podium contender at 184, as he has won his last six and majored Sam Wolf 8-0. After a slow start in the first semester SDSU is making a statement in 2024. Next Up: South Dakota State wrestles Wyoming on February 1st followed by Utah Valley on February 3rd, both on the road. Utah Valley (Overall: 1-3; Conference: 0-3): No Competition. Next Up: Utah Valley has duals against North Dakota State and South Dakota State on February 2nd and 3rd. West Virginia (Overall: 9-3; Conference: 2-3): Dual Results (MIZ) | Dual Results (MSU) The Mountaineers went 1-1 on the weekend, dropping a 30-6 dual to Mizzou and getting a 40-3 win over Morgan State. Their conference dual against the Tigers was filled with wild matches early. After giving up bonus points at 125 and 133 they battled back. Jordan Titus beat Josh Edmond in rideouts in a must-watch low-scoring match with almost nonstop action. Ty Watters beat a game Logan Gioffre, separating after Gioffre took injury time with some solid scrambles. One of the best matches of the night came against WVU, as Peyton Hall dropped a barnburner 8-7 match against #1 Keegan O’Toole. Hall had a 6-1 lead after the first period, but couldn’t stop O’Toole late in what could be a Big 12 semifinal. The team rebounded well against Morgan State, winning nine matches with seven bonus point wins. Jace Schafer, Jordan Titus, Ty Watters, and Austin Cooley all scored tech falls. Peyton Hall was right there with a 23-10 major decision as well. Now at #17 in the NWCA polls, this is the highest they have been ranked since being #16 in 2005. Next Up: West Virginia heads to the state of Iowa to wrestle Iowa State on February 2nd and Northern Iowa on February 4th. Wyoming (Overall: 6-5; Conference: 4-3): Dual Results Wyoming used a come-from-behind performance to get their third win in a row against Northern Colorado. After Jore Volk lost 3-1 to Stevo Poulin and Garrett Ricks was majored by Dom Serrano, the Cowboys won six of the last eight to win 23-16. Ethan Ducca made his return from injury with a strong decision win. True freshmen Cole Brooks, Sloan Swan, and Joey Novak continue to impress with Brooks and Novak scoring bonus points. Last year Wyoming was 1-9 in the conference and 1-10 overall but have now gone over 0.500 overall and in the conference. Next Up: Wyoming Hosts South Dakota State on February 1st then North Dakota State on February 4th.
  19. Key Takeaways from the week Exciting dual matchups and surprise upsets at opens made for a great week of Women’s College Wrestling. Here are my 3 takeaways from the action over the past few days: Warrior Open Created Tough Battles for Top Teams Several top NCAA and NAIA programs sent wrestlers to compete at the Warrior Open over the weekend. While Iowa claimed another top team finish, there were plenty of surprising individual match results. One of the big headlines from the event was the two high school wrestlers who walked away as champs. At 130 lbs, Taina Fernandez, a freshman out of Maryland wrestled her way to the top of the podium, taking out NCAA All-American Cayden Condit of Lindenwood along with wrestlers from Siena Heights, Iowa, and Providence. Fernandez won three matches by fall and two by tech fall. At 101 lbs, another high school freshman, Jaclyn Bouzakis out of Pennsylvania, also had a wildly impressive tournament taking out #1 (NAIA) Erin Hikiji of Providence and #1 (NCAA) Sterling Dias of Iowa. While we’ve certainly seen upsets like this at open tournaments in both men’s and women’s wrestling, especially at lighter weights, I was particularly impressed by Bouzakis’ competitive decision win over Dias. We sometimes see a quick, solid takedown where a wrestler can then get to a leg lace or tight gut wrench and then turn repeatedly for a quick tech. However, Bouzakis wrestled smart against a very savvy Dias in this match, countering her quick takedown style and frequently setting up shots of her own from ties. A few other notable wins included Ajayzee Zaballos of Menlo, who is ranked 11th at 123 lbs, who wrestled down at 116 lbs for this tournament and won her championship match against #4 Icart Galumette of Campbellsville by tech fall. Additionally, Lilly Luft who we talked about last week collected another fall against Zaynah McBryde of Life at this tournament resulting in her first championship finish as a Hawkeye. Luft struggled in a few opens and tri duals earlier in the semester, but is becoming a reliable point scorer for Iowa as a freshman. I am curious to see how she continues to perform as the NCAA competition ramps up in the coming weeks. At 123 lbs, however, another championship matchup between Life and Iowa went the way of the Running Eagles as Anna Krejsa notched a decision over Ava Rose. Another fun match was the finals at 109 lbs where a top 10 NAIA matchup took place between #7 Paige Morales of Providence and #9 Tehani Soares of Indiana Tech. While the match did end up in a tech fall win for Morales 12-2, Soares was frequently in on her own shots and caused a few scramble situations that Morales was not able to work through before the two were reset. Still, it seemed in this match at least that Morales was ready for her opponent here and had the upper hand on offense. I am curious to see these two wrestle again at NCWWCs if the brackets shake out that way. Ranked Duals in Fort Wayne In addition to the open on Sunday, Indiana Tech also hosted the Warrior Duals on Saturday with #1 (NCAA) Iowa, #1 (NAIA) Life, #7 (NAIA) Campbellsville, #12 (NAIA) University of the Cumberlands, and #13 (NAIA) Indiana Tech, just to name a few. While some of the results were a bit lopsided, a few duals made for interesting matchups. In Indiana Tech’s dual against Campbellsville, Tech kept it close, winning 4 of 6 matches, but the ranked matchups did not go in their favor. Campbellsville wrestlers like #5 Josie Davis, #10 Gabriella Perez, #2 Emma Walker, and #4 Kendra Thompson, created an insurmountable lead for their team. At 170 lbs, however, #12 Grace Doering for Indiana Tech won the close and tough-fought decision 4-3 over #15 Sierra Chavez of Campbellsville. These two seemed like a tough stylistic matchup for each other, stifling each of their normal dynamic styles of offense. In addition to Life and Iowa, the University of the Cumberlands went undefeated at the Warrior Duals, winning all 4 duals with 10 undefeated wrestlers. In an exciting ranked matchup against Indiana Tech, it seemed like the Patriots had all the answers, only dropping one match to Tech. In ranked matchups, we saw #5 Elizabeth Dosado of Cumberlands win a close 6-3 decision against #7 Makayla Young. Similarly, #11 Chamira Cooper won a defensive matchup against talented #15 Grace Doering at 170 lbs. Cooper wins 3-1 to further solidify the win for her team. Unfortunately, a lot of incomplete lineups and a few starters who did not make the trip left some other potentially close matchups, very lopsided, but overall, there was a lot of great wrestling out of Indiana this weekend. Tough Tri-Dual Losses for Augsburg The Augsburg women’s wrestling program was a team previously stacked with ranked wrestlers and former All-Americans. I previewed the team in the pre-season highlighting new head coach and two-time Olympian Ali Sprenger. While Coach Sprenger seems to be coaching her girls up to compete well, the team has really just taken the hit from transfers in the offseason. In their first dual against Wartburg with whom they are tied for the #13 spot in the rankings, the Auggies unfortunately had to forfeit four consecutive matches from 109 lbs-130 lbs. The team did rally during the later half of the dual getting a pin from their star #4 Nina Makem at 155 lbs and from Belle Huss at 191 lbs, but it was not enough to pull them out from the forfeit deficit. The team then took on #11 (NAIA) William Penn, where the Auggies again came up short with their lineup and forfeited the first six matches of the dual. They won the next three with pins from Autumn Flanigan, #4 Nina Makem, and Madison Horn. After a decision loss at 191 against Andrea Smith of William Penn, the final score was 33-16 in favor of the statesmen. I discussed in my pre-season article that the Auggie had 12 wrestlers on the roster, none of whom are listed at 109 or 116, with only one wrestler at 101 and 123. Even with that deficit, the Auggies won a majority of the matches they competed in all by pin. It is clear they have talent both from their wrestlers and coaching staff, but recruiting and transfer portal work will be pivotal to keep them in the rankings towards the end of the year.

  20. We had an exciting opening week of ACC action on Friday. While the team scores went as expected, there were some big individual upsets. We saw several wrestlers return to the lineup after being out with injuries and making an immediate impact. It seems that most teams have settled on a lineup for the rest of the season, but we will see a few wrinkles be thrown in along the way to spice it up a little (I love the rule allowing five dates for true freshmen…). All three duals on Friday were lopsided affairs but left us with a lot of good takeaways. 1. NC State and Virginia Tech are the early favorites for the dual title. The Wolfpack traveled to Pitt and took eight of ten bouts; their only losses were upsets at 141 and 184. The Hokies hosted the Tar Heels and after losing the opening match in sudden victory, they reeled off nine straight wins. Thankfully the ACC scheduling is better this year and their dual will be the final match instead of the opening dual as it was last year. 2. 141 is bonkers. #27 Cole Matthews beat #4 Ryan Jack. #17 Tom Crook beat #5 Lachlan McNeil. Jack Gioffre has been in and out of the rankings this year and has the potential to hang with any of these guys. Jack and McNeil will meet this week. I have no idea how this is going to shake out in dual matchups, but suffice to say, that the ACC tournament is going to be fire at 141. 3. Virginia looks rejuvenated with five (?!?!) starters back in the lineup after returning from injury. The Hoos have dealt with a wild run of injuries but returned half of their lineup in time for ACC duals. Those five were a combined 7-1 on the weekend. They shut out Duke 45-0 in a dominant showing on Friday and dispatched American 36-6 on Sunday. The Cavaliers will face a much tougher test when they host Virginia Tech on Friday, but I’m glad to see them healthy and getting back on track. 4. Do we learn anything from early upsets? There were a lot of upsets on paper, I’m interested to see how those line up over the next four weeks. The Wolfpack will have a tough choice to make at 125 between Jarrett Trombley and Jakob Camacho. 125: Jarrett Trombley over #31 Colton Camacho 141: #27 Cole Matthews over #4 Ryan Jack #14 Tom Crook over #5 Lachlan McNeil 165: #16 Derek Fields over #14 Holden Heller 174: #31 Alex Faison over #17 Luca Augustine 184: #12 Reece Heller over #7 Dylan Fishback 197: #26 Andy Smith over #19 Max Shaw Virginia 45 Duke 0 125 - Kyle Montaperto (Virginia) tech Logan Agin (Duke) 18-0 133 - Marlon Yarbrough (Virginia) tech Raymond Adams (Duke) 20-5 141 - Jack Gioffre (Virginia) fall Christian Colman (Duke) 2:48 149 - Michael Gioffre (Virginia) tech Sean O’Donnell (Duke) 23-5 157 - Nick Sanko (Virginia) maj Logan Ferraro (Duke) 11-1 165 - Nick Hamilton (Virginia) maj Gaetano Console (Duke) 14-5 174 - Justin McCoy (Virginia) tech David Hussey (Duke) 18-2 184 - Griffin Gammel (Virginia) dec Conor Becker (Duke) 4-2 197 - Krystian Kinsey (Virginia) tech Kwasi Bonsu (Duke) 18-2 285 - Ryan Catka (Virginia) dec Connor Barket (Duke) 12-8 NC State 31 Pittsburgh 6 125 - Jarrett Trombley (NC State) maj Colton Camacho (Pittsburgh) 14-4 133 - Kai Orine (NC State) maj Vince Santaniello (Pittsburgh) 10-1 141 - Cole Matthews (Pittsburgh) dec Ryan Jack (NC State) 15-10 149 - Jackson Arrington (NC State) dec Finn Solomon (Pittsburgh) 4-2 157 - Ed Scott (NC State) maj Jared Keslar (Pittsburgh) 16-3 165 - Derek Fields (NC State) dec Holden Heller (Pittsburgh) 7-1 174 - Alex Faison (NC State) dec Luca Augustine (Pittsburgh) 7-5 184 - Reece Heller (Pittsburgh) dec Dylan Fishback (NC State) 4-3 197 - Trent Hidlay (NC State) tech Mac Stout (Pittsburgh) 20-4 285 - Owen Trephan (NC State) tech Geoff Magin (Pittsburgh) 20-4 Virginia Tech 33 North Carolina 3 125 - Cooper Flynn (Virginia Tech) dec Spencer Moore (North Carolina) 4-2 133 - Sam Latona (Virginia Tech) tech Jace Palmer (North Carolina) 19-3 141 - Tom Crook (Virginia Tech) dec Lachlan McNeil (North Carolina) 5-4 149 - Caleb Henson (Virginia Tech) tech Wil Guida (North Carolina) 19-3 157 - Clayton Ulrey (Virginia Tech) dec Sonny Santiago (North Carolina) 4-1 165 - Connor Brady (Virginia Tech) dec Isaias Estrada (North Carolina) 4-2 174 - Mekhi Lewis (Virginia Tech) maj Tyler Eischens (North Carolina) 11-3 184 - Gavin Kane (North Carolina) dec TJ Stewart (Virginia Tech) 11-8 SV 197 - Andy Smith (Virginia Tech) dec Max Shaw (North Carolina) 4-2 285 - Hunter Catka (Virginia Tech) maj Cade Lautt (North Carolina) 14-5 Virginia 36 American 6 125 - Kyle Montaperto (Virginia) tech Shamil Kalmatov (American) 15-0 133 - Gable Porter (Virginia) dec Max Leete (American) 4-1 141 - Jack Gioffre (Virginia) tech Cael McIntyre (American) 20-5 149 - Jack Nies (American) dec Michael Gioffre (Virginia) 5-4 157 - Dylan Cedeno (Virginia) tech Ryan Zimmerman (American) 23-4 165 - Nick Hamilton (Virginia) maj Breon Phifer (American) 12-2 174 - Justin McCoy (Virginia) tech Mervin Mancia (American) 15-0 184 - Lucas White (American) dec Griffin Gammell (Virginia) 12-7 197 - Krystian Kinsey (Virginia) tech Caleb Beaty (American) 21-4 285 - Ryan Catka (Virginia) maj Will Jarrell (American) 14-6 North Carolina 20 Navy 17 125 - Spencer Moore (North Carolina) tech Hayden Benter (Navy) 19-4 133 - Brendan Ferretti (Navy) dec Jace Palmer (North Carolina) 8-5 141 - Lachlan McNeil (North Carolina) dec Josh Koderhandt (Navy) 9-6 149 - Kaemen Smith (Navy) dec Wil Guida (North Carolina) 13-9 157 - Sonny Santiago (North Carolina) dec Jonathan Ley (Navy) 4-2 165 - Andrew Cerniglia (Navy) fall Isaias Estrada (North Carolina) :42 174 - Tyler Eischens (North Carolina) dec Danny Wask (Navy) 15-12 SV 184 - Gavin Kane (North Carolina) dec David Key (Navy) 9-6 197 - Max Shaw (North Carolina) dec Daniel Williams (Navy) 5-3 285 - Grady Griess (Navy) tech Cade Lautt (North Carolina) 17-2
