2021-22 Greco-Roman Domestic Rankings

72 kilograms

Four athletes who were in different weights for the Olympic Trials have declared their desire to plow forward at 72 — key among them are two-time World Teamer Patrick Smith (Minnesota Storm) and Benji Peak (Sunkist/NTS). Smith knows this landscape well; Peak does not have a lot of time on target at 72, but it is where he will stare down the opposition at the U23 Worlds. Michael Hooker (Army/WCAP) was a World Team Trials finalist in this weight just two years ago, and 72 is where Brandon Mueller (Air Force) first began forging his Senior career. A wildcard for the division is Griffin Parriott (Minnesota Storm), who is as stout of a prospect as it gets considering his age-group experience and showing from the April Open.
