NCAA Rankings 2017-18
184: The Preisch Is Right At No. 4
Ryan Preisch notched another big win over No. 5 Dominic Abounader. A Michigan senior, Abounader stays at No. 5 due to Drew Foster falling from No. 4 to No. 7 after losing to Max Dean. The Cornell freshman is doing a great if unexpected impression of his older brother, Gabe, and climbs from No. 17 up to No. 13 after a terrific first three weeks of varsity wrestling.
Ricky Robertson rises and Emery Parker falls after the former beat the latter at the Roadrunner Open. Michael Coleman drops to No. 20 after losing to unranked Chris LaFragola at the Navy Open.
It's also worth noting that Zack Zacatsky rebounded nicely from his loss to Preisch in week two with two wins over ranked opponents in week three.
