InterMat College Wrestling Individual Rankings updated after Week 3

The latest college wrestling individual rankings are in the books after Week 3 of action from InterMat. There were some intriguing results ahead of Tuesday night’s All-Star Classic.

While that’s an exhibition, those matches are definitely telling based on the results. More on that later. We’ve already seen a major weight class change as well.

Without further ado, we’ll dive into InterMat’s latest college wrestling individual rankings.

125 pounds

1. Anthony Noto – Lock Haven (1)
2. Richie Figueroa – Arizona State (2)
3. Jakob Camacho – NC State (3)
4. Matt Ramos – Purdue (4)
5. Dean Peterson – Rutgers (6)
6. Patrick McKee – Minnesota (7)
7. Michael DeAugustino – Michigan (8)
8. Kysen Terunkina – Iowa State (17)
9. Eric Barnett – Wisconsin (5)
10. Stevo Poulin – Northern Colorado (9)

Noto stayed at No. 1 for this year as the only movement in the top five came from Peterson after his win over Eddie Ventresca. Others received a bump as Terunkina entered the fray with a big jump. He’s 3-0 on the season. These rankings were also published prior to the NWCA All-Star Classic where Ramos defeated Noto in the exhibition.

133 pounds

1. Daton Fix – Oklahoma State (2)
2. Vito Arujau – Cornell (1)

7. Chris Cannon – Michigan (7)
8. Brody Teske – Iowa (9)
9. Julian Chlebove – Arizona State (10)
10. Angelo Rini – Columbia (11)

There were no changes within the top seven after Week 3.  We’ve only seen Fix once so far this year. The movement came from Teske, who bumped up one spot, as well as Chlebove. Columbia senior Angelo Rini entered the top 10 this week.

1. Real Woods – Iowa (1)
2. Beau Bartlett – Penn State (2)

8. Mosha Schwartz – Oklahoma (9)
9. Cael Happel – Northern Iowa (10)
10. Malyke Hines – Lehigh (11)

Not much changed at this weight after the third weekend but there was a little movement in the latter half of the top 10. Jack, Schwartz and Happel all moved up a spot. Hines entered the top 10, sporting a 7-1 record.

149 pounds

1. Ridge Lovett – Nebraska (1)
2. Shayne Van Ness – Penn State (2)

7. Chance Lamer – Cal Poly (8)
8. Graham Rooks – Indiana (6)
9. Victor Voinovich – Iowa (9)
10. Jaden Abas – Stanford (10)

No changes across the board here. Henson is doing one heck of a job right now though, as he’s 12-0 on the young season. Lamer and Voinvich are thriving in their new spots, going 6-0 and 6-1, respectively.

157 pounds

1. Levi Haines – Penn State (1)
2. Jared Franek – Iowa (2)
3. Peyton Robb – Nebraska (3)
4. Jacori Teemer – Arizona State (4)
5. Bryce Andonian – Virginia Tech (6)
6. Will Lewan – Michigan (7)
7. Brock Mauller – Missouri (8)
8. Ed Scott – NC State (9)
9. Daniel Cardenas – Stanford (10)
10. Trevor Chumbley – Northwestern (12)

Not much movement here, but we saw Scott and Cardenas move up one spot. Chumbley enters the top 10 but has yet to wrestle this season. Franek and Robb have been impressive at No. 2 and 3, both at 7-0.

165 pounds

1. Keegan O’Toole – Missouri (1)
2. David Carr – Iowa State (2)
3. Cameron Amine – Michigan (3)
4. Dean Hamiti – Wisconsin (4)
5. Mikey Caliendo – Iowa (5)
6. Izzak Olejnik – Oklahoma State (6)
7. Julian Ramirez – Cornell (7)
8. Matthew Olguin – Oregon State (8)
9. Holden Heller – Pitt (10)
10. Antrell Taylor – Nebraska (11)

No movement in the top eight as the wrestlers held serve in Week 3. Heller moved up a spot and is now 5-0 on the season. Taylor made his top 10 debut with a 6-0 record and goes up a spot in the rankings.

174 pounds

1. Carter Starocci – Penn State (1)
2. Mekhi Lewis – Virginia Tech (3)
3. Shane Griffith – Michigan (4)
4. Edmond Ruth – Illinois (5)
5. Carson Kharchla – Ohio State (6)
6. Peyton Mocco – Missouri (7)
7. Cade DeVos – South Dakota State (8)
8. Justin McCoy – Virginia (9)
9. Donnell Washington – Indiana (10)
10. Nick Incontrera – UPenn (14)

The biggest news here is Cornell’s Chris Foca moving up to 184 pounds after an early season decision (more on that in a second). With that, everyone bumps up a spot while Incontrera moves into the top 10. Starrocci dominated Lewis in the All-Star Classic Tuesday night.

184 pounds

1. Parker Keckeisen – Northern Iowa (1)
2. Bernie Truax – Penn State (2)
3. Trey Munoz – Oregon State (3)
4. Chris Foca – Cornell (2 – 174)
5. Dustin Plott – Oklahoma State (4)
6. Will Feldkamp – Iowa State (5)
7. Isaiah Salazar – Minnesota (6)
8. Lenny Pinto – Nebraska (8)
9. Gavin Hoffman – Ohio State (10)
10. Gavin Kane – North Carolina (11)

Foca gets into the rankings up a weight, already placed in the top four. That’s huge considering he was an NCAA finalist at 174 last year. Keckeisen beat Truax at the All-Star Classic Tuesday night. Kane also moves into the top 10 with a 3-1 record.

197 pounds

1. Aaron Brooks – Penn State (1)
2. Stephen Buchanan – Oklahoma (2)
3. Tanner Sloan – South Dakota State (3)
4. Rocky Elam – Missouri (4)
5. Trent Hidlay – NC State (5)
6. Jacob Cardenas – Cornell (6)
7. John Poznanski – Rutgers (8)
8. Luke Surber – Oklahoma State (9)
9. Jaxon Smith – Maryland (10)
10. Michael Beard – Lehigh (11)

The top six did not have movement. By the way, Brooks was dominant over Sloan in the All-Star Classic, so we are really unsure if anyone’s going to beat him at this point. Poznanski, Surber, Smith and Beard all moved up one spot.

285 pounds

1. Greg Kerkvliet – Penn State (1)
2. Wyatt Hendrickson – Air Force (2)
3. Lucas Davison – Michigan (3)
4. Cohlton Schultz – Arizona State (4)
5. Zach Elam – Missouri (5)
6. Yaraslau Slavikouski – Rutgers (6)
7. Yonger Bastida – Iowa State (7)
8. Luke Luffman – Illinois (8)
9. Tyrell Gordon – Northern Iowa (9)
10. Grady Griess – Navy (10)

No movement across the board here. Want a big result? Look at Kerkvliet’s match against Hendrickson in Tuesday night’s All-Star Classic. Right now, he’s the big man on campus until Gable Steveson comes back, if he does.
