NCAA Rankings 2018-19
197 Bo Nickal
Rocco Caywood lost to Drew Phipps and Jake Jakobsen at the EIWAs, but he has a very strong resume on the season that includes a win over #5 Jacob Warner so he only falls to #10.
Similarly, Jay Aiello fell to Malik McDonald at ACCs, but his wins and losses on the season provide enough cushion to keep him from falling further than the #8 spot.
The aforementioned McDonald one the ACC in impressive manner, beating Aiello and Tom Sleigh to climb all the way up to #13.
Jake Woodley took third in a very competitive Big 12 bracket, moving up to #14 as a result. Noah Adams took fifth and sneaks into the rankings at #19, ahead of Tanner Orndorff who he beat in the placement match.
Greg Bulsak of Clarion went 0-2 at EWLs, and drops out of the top 20 as a result.
