149: Killer Blees
Ryan Blees stung Troy Heilmann in a dual meet, causing the Tar Heel to fall to #8. Blees debuts at #15, taking over for his teammate Solomon Chishko, who wrestled — and is ranked — up at 157 pounds over the weekend.
Elsewhere, after a loss to Brown's Zachary Krause, Matt Kolodzik slides from #8 to #10, just ahead of Colton McCrystal, whom Kolodzik beat earlier this year.
