On Thursday morning, the NCAA released its first set of DI coaches rankings. The final rankings will play a part in the amount of automatic allocations each conference gets at each weight, along with at-large berths, and NCAA seeding. To be noted in the rankings, a wrestler must have been designated as a starter by their head coach. They also must compete in at least 8 DI matches at their rankable weight and must have competed once in the last 30 days. The rankings are as follows:

We enter the home stretch of the regular season, and only a couple weeks until your league playoffs. Finish Strong! For these standings, we will be using the Basic Fantasy Scoring through @WrestleStat (Win by Dec +3, Loss by Dec -3, Win by Pin +6, Loss by Pin -6, etc). Only results against D1 competition (starters, backups, and redshirts) will count towards Fantasy Points. Standings are first ordered based on total Fpts, then if tied by Points Per Match (PPM). Week 12 Notes: Though we are in the heart of Dual Season, tournaments are still out there to hit home runs. In fact, of the Top-21 for Week 12, only five did not participate in either the Purple Raider Open or Cyclone Open. The Top Wrestler of Week 12 was Edinboro’s Kade Sottolano with 22 Fpts, followed by two backups in Blaine Frazier and Ty Raines with 20 Fpts. Two redshirts make the Top-5 of Week 12, with Charlie Millard making the most noise in beating Iowa State’s Cody Chittum in the Cyclone Open finals. For the Overall Standings, two matches to one in Matt Ramos’ favor make him tied for the most Fpts with Jesse Mendez. Mendez retains the #1 Overall spot thanks to his 4.5 PPM. Gunner Filipowicz, despite a win by decision, falls back a spot to #3, A week without competition for the only two redshirts in the Overall Standings, Ben Davino and Max Brignola still remain in the Top-33. Davino falls three spots to #12 and Brignola drops from #16 to #29. Week 12 Leaders Year-Long Fantasy Point Standings

There was a lot to cover across collegiate women’s wrestling this week. Here are some of the highlights: Women’s Wrestling becomes the NCAA’s 91st championship sport In the most exciting news of the week, the NCAA voted across all three divisions to approve women’s wrestling as a championship sport at their annual convention. The first NCAA women’s wrestling championship will take place in 2026 and will feature athletes from all division levels. There are over 90 teams estimated to be eligible to compete representing more than 1,200 athletes. Coaches, fans, and former and current college wrestlers spoke out on social media to share their excitement for this opportunity for the next generation of college wrestlers. Life goes 2-0 in tri-dual #1 (NAIA) Life hosted a pair of duals on Wednesday against #8 (NAIA) Lindsey Wilson College and #7 (NCAA) Presbyterian College. The Running Eagles won 8 of 10 matches against Lindsey Wilson, losing their only matches at 138 and 145 lbs. Lindsey Wilson’s wins came from Ta’Jai Broadnex getting a pin at 138 lbs over Life’s Morgan Sacharczyk and Kori Campbell getting a close 8-6 decision against Christina Jean. The Blue Raiders had a bit more momentum against Presbyterian starting things off with 3 wins in a row from Alyssa Archer with a 12-10 decision over Grace York, Reagan Thomas with a pin over Chiara Barbieri, and a forfeit win at 117 lbs. However, from there, it was all Blue Hose, winning the next 7 starting with #5 (NCAA) Alyssa Mahan getting the pin over #18 (NAIA) Sydney Bridenstine. From there, Presbyterian notched another pin, three tech falls, a forfeit, and a 6-0 decision to close things out 31-14. In the final dual of the night, Life took on Presbyterian and got off to an early lead, claiming the first three matches with two tech falls followed by at forfeit. Alyssa Mahan finally put some points on the board for the Blue Hose with a scrappy 11-8 decision victory over Anna Krejsa. Life rallied back with two more tech falls from #5 (NAIA) Sarah Savidge and #1 (NAIA) Zaynah McBryde. Zaynah was the only McBryde in the lineup for this dual and at 145, Paige Wehrmeister was able to get a tech fall of her own over Christina Jane. From there, Life snagged another decision, a tech fall and a fall to close things out 34-10. McKendree makes a statement at MoBap Open #5 McKendree made their mark at the Missouri Baptist Open last Friday, claiming 6 first-place finishes. At 124 lbs, it was Bearcat vs Bearcat as #3 (NCAA) Shelby Moore won an 8-0 decision over teammate Mariah Smith for 1st place. #2 (NCAA) Alex Szkotnicki was the champ at 131 lbs over #10 (NCAA) Cayden Condit of Lindenwood, winning 5-0. Haylie Jaffe, a freshman at McKendree, wrestled unattached in this tournament and won the finals match over teammate #7 (NCAA) Alexis Gomez with an 11-0 tech fall. At 145, #6 (NCAA) Savannah Gomez had a close one with another tough Lindenwood opponent, outscoring #10 (NCAA) Rebecca Strong just 5-4 for the gritty decision win. 160 lbs was the final all-McKendree finals with Lydia Krauss getting the tech fall over Ruby Rios. To cap things off, Tristan Kelly got a forfeit win in the finals after a dominant tech fall in the semis against #2 (NCAA) Sara Lake of Lindenwood. Lindenwood claimed 3 champs of their own, starting with Sienna Caruso of Lindenwood in the 103 lb weight class. She took out Lillian Hackworth of Missouri Baptist in the finals. Then at 117 lbs with #4 (NCAA) Caitlyn Jackson winning over #9 (NCAA) Alexandra Waitsman of William Jewell 6-3. Finally, at 180 lbs, #10 (NCAA) Mikayla Rivera got the fall in under a minute against Tanihya Wilson of Indian Hills. At 110, Quincy claimed victory with Trinity Pendergrass eeking out a 6-2 victory over Samantha Miller of McKendree. Then at 235 lbs, Mariyah Brumley won the hardware for William Woods with a 25-second pin of her opponent Selena Snell of Central College. Open Season In addition to the MoBap Open, teams across divisions competed at a number of open tournaments, spreading out a lot of the talent to many different events. #21 (NCAA) Simpson had three champions at the Mike Duroe Open. Marymount just eeked out Liberty 71-70 in team points at the Southern Virginia Open. Champs were pretty evenly split between #15 (NCAA) East Stroudsburg, Western New England, and Ursinus at the Will Abele Invitational. However, at the York Open, 8 schools crowned champions with #10 (NAIA) Missouri Valley being the only school to win two. #7 (NAIA) Indiana Tech cleaned up at the Women’s Spartan Mat Classic with 99 team points and 4 individual champions. And John Carroll got to claim 3 titles at the Purple Raider Open. Northern Michigan had four champs of their own at the Alma Open on Sunday. To wrap things up, winners were split between #8 (NCAA) Simon Fraser, Pacific University, and #17 (NAIA) Eastern Oregon at the Evergreen Open hosted by Evergreen State with each team taking home two titles. NCAA Powerhouses Battle in Carver-Hawkeye A lot of wrestling fans were tuned in for the Saturday night matchup between #4 (NCAA) Grand Valley State and #1 (NCAA) Iowa as they dualed in front of an in-person crowd of more than 4,000. Each team looked dominant in their earlier matches against Augustana College with Grand Valley State and Iowa winning 29-8 and 44-1, respectively. During the main event, Grand Valley got the early upset with #4 Rayana Sahagun battling for the 6-4 decision win over #2 Sterling Dias. A big throw from Sahagun pushed her into the win column and put points on the board for the Lakers. Without #1 Sage Mortimer here, what could have been big points for GVSU turned into 5 forfeit points in favor of Iowa. It would have been awesome to see a rematch between Mortimer and Bayless, but something tells me we will get that chance in the postseason. At 117 lbs, #1 Brianna Gonzalez continues her insane, undefeated season with the win over Kiley Tabadlo with a tech fall. 124 lbs was another marquee matchup with Cali Leng of Iowa taking on the freshman phenom #4 Aspen Blasko. The two seemed to have all the answers for one another, keeping things low-scoring. Leng ended up winning on criteria in the 2-2 match. Emmilly Patneaud kept things rolling for the Hawkeyes with a pin over Hannah Palise. Grand Valley got back in the win column with #2 Katerina Lange getting the decision over Iowa’s #3 Nanea Estrella 4-2. However, Iowa then rattled off big wins from their most decorated run in their lineup. #3 Macey Kilty gets the tech fall over #9 Elleni Johnson, followed by a pin from #2 Kennedy Blades over #20 Clarissa Agostini, #1 Kylie Welker gets the tech fall over Emily Medford, and then #7 Alivia White closes things out with a 5-0 decision win for the Hawkeyes. This was certainly must-watch wrestling between two of the newest teams in collegiate wrestling.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The National Duals Invitational, sponsored by Paycom, will welcome some of the top collegiate wrestling talent to BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the weekend of Nov. 15-16. "Hosting the National Duals Invitational by our fantastic sponsor, Paycom, is a game-changer for D1 wrestling. Due to the unprecedented challenges in NCAA Division I athletics today, it is more imperative than ever to have more big moments in intercollegiate wrestling so we can substantially grow our fan base and viewership," said Mike Moyer, Executive Director, National Wrestling Coaches Association. The premiere 16-team event will feature some of the top NCAA Division I teams, with a total purse of more than $1 million up for grabs. The top 8 teams will all earn payouts, with the winning squad walking away with $200,000. The second- and third-place teams will earn $150,000, while fourth place earns $75,000. Fifth through eighth place will each earn between $50,000 and $20,000, respectively. All participating teams will receive $20,000 for attending. Ticket details and the full roster of teams competing will be announced on or before July 15. "I am excited for the sport of wrestling to have a competitive field at the inaugural National Duals Invitational," said Chad Richison, Paycom's founder and CEO. "Investing in student athletes and non-income-generating sports is important in today's ever-evolving collegiate landscape." Thirty-four-time NCAA champion Oklahoma State will serve as the host school. "Bringing a prestigious wrestling tournament of this magnitude to Oklahoma is exciting for the sport, and the winnings will be significant in helping universities build out their programs at an even higher level. We continue to be grateful for Mr. Richison and Paycom's support of wrestling in the state of Oklahoma and nationally," said Chad Weiberg, Oklahoma State Vice President and Athletic Director. This event will be held at the BOK Center, which was also the site of the 2023 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and is the current home of the 2025 Big 12 Championships. "We're excited to host the inaugural National Duals Invitational at BOK Center, and we're proud that our venue has become a top choice for major wrestling events," said BOK Center Vice President Keller Taylor. "This event offers the perfect stage for top-tier competition, and we can't wait to welcome thousands of passionate supporters. BOK Center is ready to deliver an unforgettable experience filled with the energy, intensity and excitement that only live wrestling can bring." Paycom, a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management software, has been a long-time supporter of collegiate and professional athletics in Oklahoma and beyond.

Yesterday, we mentioned the 197 lb weight class in our rankings-related questions. In the preseason, without a returning national finalist, it made some sense to have AJ Ferrari ranked number one (some might even disagree with that). As of mid-January, both Stephen Buchanan and Jacob Cardenas have superior resumes for the 2024-25 season (by a long shot). Ferrari’s only ranked wins have come over the wrestlers currently ranked #24 and #25. Buchanan has four wins over higher ranked wrestlers than 25…..Cardenas has five. Ferrari does have some of his more difficult matches on the horizon with duals against All-Americans #5 Stephen Little and #10 Trey Munoz looming. The top of 133 lb has come into focus a bit after Drake Ayala got by Lucas Byrd and Jacob Van Dee knocked off Braeden Davis. The one to watch in this tier of the rankings is #6 Tyler Knox. Though he has losses to #5 Evan Frost and #10 Nic Bouzakis, he’s responsible for the only losses of #2 Romney and #3 Ayala. Taye Ghadiali has been lost for the year at heavyweight which led to wrestlers behind him getting bumped up. 125 continues to be difficult. Luke Lilledahl had his breakout win over All-American Caleb Smith. At the same time, Troy Spratley was pinned by Jett Strickenberger. We’ve elected to hold Spratley in that position, for now, based on his overall resume. Strickenberger has been very good at 125 after some head-scratching results at 133. A week after losing to Joey Cruz, Nicolar Rivera got a big win over Dean Peterson. Rivera moves right back up after a sharp drop last week.

The rash of season-ending injuries to All-American wrestlers continues to mount as we learned this morning that Campbell heavyweight Taye Ghadiali has been lost for the year. There were rumblings about Ghadiali’s status last night and Camel head coach Scotti Sentes posted on X to confirm Ghadiali’s injury today. In limited action, Ghadiali has gone 4-2 during the 2024-25 campaign and is currently ranked sixth in the nation. Not included in that record is an All-Star Classic win over Ohio State’s Nick Feldman. The two losses on Ghadiali’s resume have come against opponents currently ranked in the top four nationally. Ghadiali has been out of action since late-December at the Knockout Christmas Classic. Last year, Ghadiali went 36-6 and finished eighth in the nation at 285 lbs. In doing so, he became only the second Campbell wrestler to earn NCAA All-American honors. Ghadiali earned his place with an 8-5 sudden victory win in the bloodround over EIWA champion Nathan Taylor of Lehigh. Two weeks earlier, Ghadiali claimed his third consecutive SoCon title. In December of 2023, Ghadiali was third at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, in a loaded bracket. Ghadiali’s exploits on the mat led him to earn SoCon Wrestler of the Year honors in 2024. Through four-plus years of competition, Ghadiali sports a 90-24 career record. As mentioned in Sentes’ post, Campbell expects to get a medical waiver for the 2024-25 season which would make him eligible for next season. Within the last few weeks, it has been made public that All-Americans Dylan Ragusin, Rocky Elam, Jore Volk, and Ty Watters have been lost for the year due to injuries. Also at heavyweight, it seems like a sure bet that Iowa State’s Yonger Bastida will miss the season.
