2023-24 NCAA DI Rankings
141 - Real Woods
The only changes in the rankings at 141 result from Cole Matthews' upset win over Jesse Mendez and Kai Owen's win over Cael Happel. Mendez is coming off a fantastic performance at the CKLV where he defeated #4 Ryan Jack, #6 Brock Hardy, and #12 Vince Cornella. Because of those recent wins, Mendez holds at the #3 spot. Cael Happel also had a great CKLV defeating Brock Hardy and Anthony Echemendia so Happel only drops to the #9 spot.
Cole Matthews comes up to #11 but doesn't move higher because of his losses on the year to Kal Miller, Josh Koderhandt, and Danny Pucino. While those are a lot of losses, no one else in 141 has a win as good as one over Jesse Mendez. Also, Matthews has a robust resume at 141 that includes wins over Ryan Jack, Lachlan McNeil, Real Woods, Sebastian Rivera, Stevan Micic, and a number of other past All-Americans and highly ranked wrestlers.
