NCAA Rankings 2017-18
157: Pass The Micah
As he did at the the 2017 CKLV finals in Deccember, Alec Pantaleo got passed Micah Jordan over the weekend at a dual meet in Ann Arbor, MI. Due to the loss, Jordan drops from #5 to #7, Josh Sheilds and Pantaelo move up one spot, and the top four ranked wrestlers remain unchanged.
Elsewhere, 157 pounds makes a push to try and claim most volatile weight class of the season. Tyler Berger continues his uneven season and drops a match to a surging Andrew Crone. As a result, Berger drops below Kennedy Monday, who has also bested Berger this season. Crone, meanwhile, climbs to #15.
Colin Heffernan has had a limited schedule this season and took a loss to MAC rival Casey Sparkman of Kent State, dropping him from #12 to #17.
Two-time All-American Solomon Chishko appears to be struggling with his new larger weight class and drops from #16 to #18 after being upset by Virginia's Fred Green. Rutgers' John Van Brill and Rider's BJ Clagon drop out of the top 20 after respective losses to Minnesota's Jake Short and Hofstra's Chris Mauriello.
Into the places vacated by Van Brill and Clagon appear Coleman Hammond and Andrew Shomers.
