We’ve basically made it through the first month of the collegiate season. There is one more dual tonight (UNI/Mizzou)- but that’s it for November. In getting to December, we’ve made it through the first month without having a #1 ranked wrestler lose his ranking. For the second week in a row, we’ve seen a #1 ranked wrestler lose via injury default - and not one that should be used for rankings purposes. Last week it was 125lber Richie Figueroa who was injured, now it’s Jacori Teemer at 157 lbs. For Teemer, Iowa, and Iowa fans, his spot in the rankings is probably the least of their concerns surrounding him. You never know how these things work out, but it looked like an injury that could shelf him for a significant amount of time. At the Black Knight Invitational, we got to see some of Penn State’s young stars in action for the first time this year. Luke Lilledahl dominated at 125 lbs. His signature win was a tech fall over previously #21 Charlie Farmer. We’re still a little cautious with him from a rankings standpoint. He’ll have the chance to move up in the near future. Lilledahl’s next bout is against the wrestler directly above him, Sheldon Seymour, and a week later All-American Jore Volk. Also from Penn State is Josh Barr at 197 lbs. Barr posted bonus point wins in all four of his matches. There wasn’t really a great reason to move him based on his victories and the wrestlers around him in the rankings. I do think the decisive wins over his teammates help him pass the “eyeball” test for me, but they aren’t as telling from a rankings standpoint. 165 lbs continues to be a mystery after the top-five. Sammy Sasso wrestled a higher caliber of opponent (compared to his first two wins) and was even better than before. Obviously, he has rust to knock off. We’re still playing it safe with him, but this week I feel better about him in the top-eight. A little farther down the 165 lb rankings, some freshmen have been either inserted (Brock Mantanona) or given a push (Braeden Scoles/Nicco Ruiz). Scoles continues to maintain a perfect record against solid competition, while Ruiz posted an upset win over Cam Amine. 125 has started to 125 all over again. Last year, it was one of the most volatile weights in recent memory. With the previous #2 Jore Volk taking two losses, it seems like it may be happening again. That being said, the new #2 and #3 are both past AA’s who have been very good this season. I’d expect the parity again from the Big 12 portion of this weight. Not because they aren’t good, but just because they are all very close to each other. Figueroa/Jordan/Spratley/Poulin/Volk/Surtin, now Lorenzo. For the full rankings, Click Here

Sean Bormet talks to InterMat after his Michigan Wolverines traveled to the University of Virginia and posted a 29-12 win. Coach Bormet talks about the efforts that veteran Joseph Walker and was true freshman Brock Mantanona bring. Transfers Chase Saldate and Jacob Cardenas both had big wins - Coach Bormet discusses their impact on the program. Next up for the Wolverine is the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational - Coach Bormet talks about where he feels his team is, headed into Vegas. For the full interview:

As we head into the Thanksgiving break, there were a handful of MAC wrestlers who feasted on their opponents over the last weekend. A trio of teams got to sit at the grown-up’s table, while other teams gorged themselves at individual tournaments. There are no turkeys here this week as we celebrate some of the best MAC performances of the week. Northern Illinois The talk of the MAC, at least on Sunday, was Rider. And we’ll get to Rider shortly; however, Rider did suffer a loss last week. It was to conference opponent Northern Illinois on Friday night, 20-19. The light and heavyweights for the Huskies took care of business. None of NIU’s wins against Rider came from 149-184. One of the toss-up matches of the dual came at 141 lbs with NCAA qualifier McKenzie Bell of Rider and NCAA alternate Jacob Brya of Northern Illinois. Brya was making his season debut and his mat wrestling made the difference. A pair of reversals pushed him past Bell in a 7-5 victory. Heading into the 197 lb bout, the path to victory for the Huskies seemed slim. They were down by eight points with another toss-up match between Spencer Mooberry and Rider’s Steyn De Lange. De Lange held a slim 3-2 lead with two minutes of wrestling remaining and the choice to wrestle from the bottom position. DeLange got a relatively quick stand-up to increase his lead to 4-2 Shortly after the escape, Mooberry got in on a low attack and De Lange started a prolonged scramble. The Rider wrestler tried to roll through after a takedown was awarded to Mooberry and was caught on his back. Mooberry never let him leave his back and chaos erupted after a fall was called by the official. Now, with a match remaining, Northern Illinois trailed by two points. Heavyweight Jacob Christensen clinched the win for NIU with a 3-1 victory over freshman Collin French. Christensen was buoyed by an escape point and two points for stalling on French. The win was the first in program history over Rider. Northern Illinois will take some time off over Thanksgiving only to reemerge at SIU Edwardsville’s Cougar Clash on December 7th. Rider After the tough conference loss on Friday night, Rider had no time to lick their wounds. The team traveled north to Wisconsin for a Sunday dual with the Badgers of the Big Ten. The bout started at 197 lbs which saw De Lange get a close 4-3 win over Nico Colucci; however, the next three would go in favor of the hosts, putting Rider at a 12-3 disadvantage. That nine-point hole didn’t matter as John Hangey’s team won the remaining six matches to blow through the Badgers, 28-12. Bell got the run started with a 10-4 win over Brock Bobzien; however, it was Sammy Alvarez at 149 lbs that began a streak of bonus points in three straight matches. His 21-4 tech fall, was followed by a second-period pin by Colton Washleski at 157 lbs and Enrique Munguia threw a 9-0 shutout to completely take control of the dual. Michael Wilson (174) and Isaac Dean (184) closed things out with a 10-9 win and a 20-6 major decision, respectively. The Broncs move up to 1-2 on the year after the close loss to NIU and loss last week to #20 West Virginia. You’ll be able to see Rider in action at the toughest tournament in the country as they head to Vegas for the Cliff Keen Invitational on December 6th and 7th. George Mason To close out the dual portion of our recap, George Mason quietly went to 6-0 in all competitions and 4-0 in the MAC with a 32-8 win over SIU Edwardsville. The Cougars make take issues with the term quietly as Mason was able to tally bonus points in half of their eight wins. Stalwarts DJ McGee (157) and Evan Maag (165) had a major decision and fall, respectively. Veteran Logan Messer was dominating before an injury default and true freshman James Blackman continues to impress with a 13-4 major decision at 285 lbs. In addition to lighting up the scoreboard, the Patriots also had to grind out three close wins. 125 lber Ben Monn prevailed over Davian Guanajuato in sudden victory, while Charlie Bunting notched a 4-1 win over Marcel Lopez at 133 lbs, and Malachi DuVall slipped by Deron Pulliam 1-0 at 184 lbs. Finally, at 149 lbs Kaden Cassidy maintained his perfect record and has a chance to potentially break into the national rankings. This marks the second time in three years that Frank Beasley’s team has started the year with six straight dual wins. George Mason will look to extend that to eight wins as they’ll take on MAC foe Buffalo and Long Island on December 6th. Editor's Note: Long Island has taken this match off of their schedule - so it will just be a dual between George Mason and Buffalo. The dual will be held in George Mason's "Johnson Center" the food court in the student union. Keystone Classic Half of the champions from the Keystone Classic came from the MAC. The first of the titles came from one of the usual suspects, while others may have been a bit more surprising. Anthony Noto’s title at 133 lbs came after back-to-back wins over solid opponents from the host school, Penn (Ryan Miller and Alex Almeyda). Central Michigan got a second title as Chandler Amaker won the 165 lb weight class following Lovett. From a MAC standpoint, Amaker’s most significant win came in the semifinals when he downed Lock Haven’s Caden Dobbins, 5-2. It was an all-Lock Haven affair in the 174 lb finals as Avery Bassett scored early and often in an 11-3 major decision over teammate Tyler Stoltzfus. It was the first loss of the year for Stoltzfus and Bassett ran his record to 7-1. Another Lock Haven wrestler claimed a title at 184 lbs when Colin Fegley locked up a last-minute takedown to defeat Adrien Cramer of Central Michigan, 4-1. In the semis, Fegley had a very solid win over Virginia Tech’s Sam Fisher - someone who has been ranked in the past, but is behind All-American TJ Stewart. Fegley made his way into the national rankings last week, for the first time in his career, and doesn’t appear to be leaving them soon after a Keystone title. Lock Haven’s top recruit from the Class of 2024, Tucker Hogan, showed why he was so highly regarded in his title run at 197 lbs. In three bouts, Hogan amassed 46 points. Hogan has been noted as an excellent wrestler from the top - he displayed this with five sets of nearfall points across his three wins. Kent State at the Navy Classic The Golden Flashes crowned a champion at the Navy Classic as Billy Meiszner won the 149 lb bracket. Meiszner was unseeded but ended up winning the top half of the bracket. In the quarterfinals, Meiszner picked off Nebraska’s Scott Robertson, 11-4. Robertson had just knocked off the top seed in the weight class, Kaeman Smith of Navy. Meiszner finished his tournament with wins over Ayden Garver (Oregon State) and Carson DesRosier (The Citadel). Though none of his wins came over ranked opposition, hopefully, this tournament title sparks Meiszner and helps him to continue his winning ways once he meets that caliber of opponents. Kent State will be back in dual action on December 5th against Lake Erie, before heading to the Cleveland State Open on the 7th. The Big Red Invite A pair of MAC teams were in Ithaca for Cornell’s Big Red Invite, Buffalo, and Clarion. Wrestlers were sorted into round-robin groups and were able to get at least three matches per wrestler. Leading the way for Buffalo was 157 lber Kaleb Burgess. Burgess had falls in three of his four matches and defeated teammate Brady Ungar, 8-1, in the only match that went the full seven minutes. Lonnell Owens-Pabon (197) took second in his group. He posted two falls and had an 8-1 decision victory over Brown’s Thomas Sandoval. The only Clarion wrestler to win his bracket was Wesley Barnes, who won the 165 lb “B” grouping. Barnes had a pair of falls among his five wins. Kyle Schickel (149/A), Scott Johnson (133/B), Judah Aybar (149/B), Gavin Wilmoth (174/B), Ethan Wiant (197/B), and Lucas Thomas (285/B) all finished second in their respective groupings.

Saturday night was one of the most-anticipated duals of the collegiate regular season as #9 Iowa State traveled into Iowa City to take on #2 Iowa. The dual lived up to the hype as there were some upsets, some twists and turns, a few unforeseen appearances, and lots of good action. The Cy-Hawk dual did provide us with some takeaways (five of them) as we move on with the rest of the season. So let’s get to them! 1. Jacori Teemer’s injury Perhaps the biggest story pertaining to this dual - in a big picture perspective - is the injury to the top-ranked 157 lber in the country, Jacori Teemer. While attempting to defend an elevated single leg from Paniro Johnson, Teemer appeared to injure his hamstring. After getting attention from the Iowa training staff, Teemer made his way back on the mat ready to continue. He gave it another try but had difficulty even getting down in the top portion of referee’s position. Shortly after the restart, with Teemer in obvious discomfort, the Iowa staff pulled the pull and defaulted. At the time, it looked like this result would turn the tides towards Iowa State in the dual; however, the Hawkeyes swept the next four weights. Teemer will obviously miss some action for the Hawkeyes. Iowa’s next dual(s) are on December 6th against Army West Point and Princeton. Not having Teemer in the lineup for either of those duals should not put the dual result in question. Beyond that, losing Teemer or having him very limited, during the Big Ten schedule and potentially the postseason could have huge implications. The 157 lb weight class isn’t exactly loaded with contenders like some other weights are. Right behind Teemer is Cornell All-American Meyer Shapiro who needed to injury default out of the Journeymen Collegiate Classic two weeks ago. He didn’t participate in the Big Red’s dual with Buffalo on Saturday afternoon. Could the top-two wrestlers at the weight have their long-term status in flux? Three through eight at this weight are Antrell Taylor (Nebraska), Tyler Kasak (Penn State), Peyten Kellar (Ohio), Ryder Downey (Northern Iowa), Tommy Askey (Minnesota), and Ed Scott (NC State). Even Kasak’s status is unknown as Penn State also has Alex Facundo available and Kasak has yet to redshirt. Iowa State’s Paniro Johnson entered the weekend ranked #10. Things might get really interesting here. Circling back to Iowa, the Hawkeyes used Caleb Rathjen in their season-opening dual to fill-in at 157 lbs. I’d assume he gets the first call if Teemer is out for any period of time. It’s worth noting that a previous option, Cobe Seibrecht, transferred to South Dakota State late in the summer - once the Teemer addition was finalized. 2. Patrick Kennedy’s return All summer and preseason we’ve tried to make sense of 174/184 for the Hawkeyes. It seemed like Gabe Arnold would make sense at 174 lbs with Nelson Brands at 184. Brands had his sights set on regaining the starting role at 174 lbs, so he was thrown into the mix with Arnold and the incumbent, Patrick Kennedy. Head Coach Tom Brands said he would let the wrestlers sort it out in the room and it looked like that may have been the case with Nelson getting the call at 174 and Arnold at 184 lbs in each of the first three duals for the Hawkeyes. With Iowa trailing 12-9 heading into 174 lbs, Tom Brands threw a curveball and sent out Kennedy to face former Hawkeye teammate Aiden Riggins. Brands was obviously privy to tons of live-go’s between the two and thought Kennedy would be a better matchup than his nephew, Nelson. Or perhaps, Nelson has still been trying to knock the rust off after missing the entire 2023-24 campaign. Would he have been able to post a tech fall win over Riggins? I think he wins, but probably not via tech. At the time, those two bonus points looked like they could be huge heading into 184 lbs with a veteran in the mix for Iowa State. Which brings us to…. 3. Angelo Ferrari’s Carver-Hawkeye debut If putting Kennedy out at 174 lbs was a curveball from Brands, unleashing Angelo Ferrari was one of those wipeout sliders that starts in the middle of the plate and ends up behind a batter’s back foot - making him look foolish when he swings. The tech fall at 174 lbs gave Iowa a 14-12 lead coming down the home stretch. For Iowa State to win, they would need to win either 184 or 197 lbs and hope their heavyweight wins, as you would expect. 184 seemed like a better bet with #15 Evan Bockman presumably against #7 Arnold, rather than #20 Christian Carroll beating #2 Stephen Buchanan. So in a match that could make the heavyweight result irrelevant Brands chose to send out true freshman Angelo Ferrari rather than Arnold. And for full transparency, Ferrari isn’t some walk-on from the back of the roster. He was one of the top overall recruits in the Class of 2024, but he hadn’t been truly tested in a live match with an opponent of Bockman’s caliber. It seemed like it may be riskier than going with Arnold. It didn’t take long to see that Ferrari not only belonged in the match, but he was the better wrestler and might be able to manage bonus points. He came up just short in that regard, but still produced a convincing decision and got the Carver-Hawkeye excited for the future - and in the moment. With Kennedy’s performance and the possibilities that Ferrari presents, it sort of muddied the waters at 174 and 184 lbs, once again. 4. Echemendia’s a title contender One of the matches I was looking forward to the most was the 149 lb contest between All-Americans #4 Kyle Parco and #7 Anthony Echemendia. Echemendia earned All-American honors last year at 141 lbs and moved up this season. Normally, I am concerned about a wrestler changing weights, because there is a lot that can go wrong for them. I worried about Echemendia and the size/strength factor much less than others because he intended on wrestling 149 lbs last season - even appearing in his first two matches there. His early returns in 2024-25 have been favorable with an 11-5 win over #12 Jaden Abas (Stanford) and a tech fall over Navy’s starter Kaeman Smith. Even though Echemendia came out on the wrong side of a 4-3 loss to Parco, I actually feel better about his chances of a deep NCAA run this season. The Cyclone got the only takedown of the bout on a body lock that was finishing immaculately. The difference in the bout was a penalty point for locking hands, immediately followed by a point for an illegal cut-back. Of course, his top game and match savviness will have to improve, but I don’t see either being emblematic of a deeper issue. 149 lbs is a weight class that is currently looking up at returning champion Caleb Henson (Virginia Tech). Also ahead of Parco are Shayne Van Ness (Penn State) and Ty Watters (West Virginia). Big Ten champion Ridge Lovett (Nebraska) is right behind Parco. At this point of the season, I think there are multiple wrestlers from that group capable of standing on the top step of the podium in late-March. Echemendia should be in that group. Whether you agree or disagree with the sentiment, we should get a preview soon. All but Van Ness and Parco are on teams headed to the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational in two weeks. That could end up shaking up the rankings or perhaps reinforcing what we already know now. 5. It’s not over for the Cyclones No one wants to lose matches…individually and as a team. It’s a tough burden to carry a 20-match losing streak to your biggest rival. It stings. At the same time, Iowa State’s season is far from over. In the grand scheme of things, because of the way college wrestling is currently constructed, all that matters from this dual is bragging rights for fans and maybe some fodder for the Iowa staff to use on the recruiting trail. That’s it. For proof, you need to look back allllll the way to……2023. I remember interviewing Kevin Dresser after the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. As he spoke to the media, you could still sense the hurt in his voice from losing to Iowa. The 2023 installment was particularly painful. As a partial observer, I thought Iowa State stood a much better chance against the Hawkeyes last year than this year. The dual was on their home turf. It was the final Cy-Hawk dual for program-changing senior David Carr. After Carr’s major decision at 165 lbs, the Cyclones led 10-9. Winning one of the next three matches, would put the dual in All-American Yonger Bastida’s hands - who was in a relative mismatch. It appeared that Iowa State would have the advantage at 184 and 197 lbs; however, they ended up losing both and the dual, 18-14. Because of the timing of the 2023 dual and the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, Iowa State only had a few days to lick their wounds before heading to Vegas. Actually, only four days of rest. And the reason I spoke to Dresser after CKLV - his team won the entire thing. In a tournament that was rightly called the toughest in-season tournament in over a decade was won by Iowa State, less than a week after getting their hearts broken by their rival. Later in the year, Iowa State won their first Big 12 Championship since 2009. Less than two weeks after that, they finished fourth in the nation, a slot ahead of Iowa. At the time, we didn’t think that Dresser’s team earned an NCAA team trophy - prior to 2023 the NCAA awarded trophies to the top-four teams, but stated they would only salute the top-three teams due to budgetary constraints. A few months later, the NCAA changed course and the Cyclones received their trophy. It was the first of Dresser’s tenure in Ames. Iowa State fans, the loss hurts. The streak sucks. But it’s not the end of the world. The Cyclones can still have an incredibly successful season. Like last season, CKLV is looming on the Iowa State schedule. There’s a longer break between the two (Dec. 6/7), so they might even have a couple of team members that were banged up for yesterday’s dual, but ready for Vegas. Even before the calendar turns over to 2025, ISU has a dual with North Dakota State at Dresser’s old high school and the Collegiate Duals where they’ll face Lock Haven, #23 North Carolina, and #6 Ohio State. We’re at the point in Dresser’s tenure at ISU where he expects his team to win every single time they toe the line. The loss stings, but it only defines the season if they let it do so.

Newtown

Friday night the Iowa women’s wrestling team got some good news. In addition to their success on the mat at the Missouri Valley Open, head coach Clarissa Chun got a win on the recruiting trail with a verbal commitment from Isabella Marie Gonzales (Clovis East, California). In FloWrestling’s recent list of the top-100 girls recruits in the high school Class of 2025 - Gonzales was listed at #5. Gonzales is a two-time California state champion with her most recent title coming at 115 lbs with a 6-1 victory over Kylee Golz of Trabuco Hills. We recently saw Gonzales in action at Who’s #1, where she won a 9-8 barnburner over Savannah Witt (Michigan) at 120 lbs. It was the second Who’s #1 win for Gonzales. She was selected to participate in the 2023 event and won a 4-4 match over future Iowa teammate Karlee Brooks at 117 lbs. Over the summer, Gonzales represented the United States at the U17 World Championships at 53 kg. Gonzales came up one match shy of a bronze medal. In each of the previous three years, Gonzales earned a gold medal at the Pan-American Championships - across two age groups. Gonzales is the first wrestler to commit to Chun’s team from the Class of 2025. For all of the current commitments reported to InterMat, from the girls high school Class of 2025, Click Here
