2019-20 NCAA DI Rankings

184 Zahid-in Figures

Another weight class that was exceedingly difficult to nail down, thanks mostly due to the chaos of the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. For instance, Darmstadt lost to Webster, who lost to Embree, who lost to Darmstadt. A ranker's delight! A more conventional conundrum occurred when Lou DePrez beat Taylor Venz in the quarterfinals, then lost to him in the fifth-place match. On the balance, however, Lujan, Venz and Bolen all improved their resumes, and moved up, while DePrez and Darmstadt were both a little worse off after the event then before it, and move down a few spots. 

Nelson Brands suffered his first varsity loss, which brought him and Sammy Colbray both down several notches. Travis Stefanik, who beat Brands, move into the rankings, along with Owen Webster, who beat Darmstadt, and Zach Carlson, who beat Webster. 

Dylan Wisman earned a ranking thanks to his win over Cam Caffey. Aaron Brooks had his redshirt pulled and promptly beat Chris Weiler. He and Anthony Montalvo, who also beat Weiler, claim the final two spots, although there is quite a lot of parity in the weight class and there are many wrestlers outside the top 25 with arguments for a ranking.
