NCAA Rankings 2018-19
141 Yianni Diakomihalis
Joey McKenna handled Kaid Brock at the All-Star Classic and then survived bubbled contender Nic Gil of Navy in a subsequent dual meet on the other side of the country. The rest of the top 10 was pretty quiet except for #8 Josh Alber, who lost to Tristan Moran at the Cyclone Open. A strong body of work keeps Alber from falling any further than #10, and Moran climbs no higher than #14, due to his loss to #13 Bryan Lantry in a dual meet on Thursday night.
True freshman Real Woods beat #15 Nate Limmex. Woods will enter the top 20 as soon as Stanford pulls his redshirt.
An idle Luke Karam enters the top 20 after Sam Krivus of Virginia drops out following a loss to unranked Paul Konrath of Indiana. Additionally, Mason Smith is no longer on the Arizona State roster, so we've removed him from the ranking, allowing Nic Gil to claim the final spot.
