InterMat College Wrestling Individual Rankings updated after Week 14

The latest InterMat college wrestling individual rankings after Week 14 dropped following some more upsets and a major shake up.

For the first time all season, there is a new No. 1 wrestler at a weight not listed at 125 of 133 pounds. So yes, chaos still happens late in the regular season.

Let’s dive into the latest individual wrestling rankings from InterMat.

10. Sergio Lemley – Michigan (19)

Bartlett is the new No. 1 this week after Woods lost his first match of the year to Lemley, who’s now in the top 10. Mendez didn’t move despite his 20-2 record. Lemley’s major decision of Woods vaulted him up nine spots.

149 pounds

9. Kannon Webster – Illinois (8)
10. Tyler Kasak – Penn State (12)

The top six remained the same this week while Swiderski moved up three spots and is now 15-2 this year. Kasak also entered the top 10 and is now 11-1. The Penn State freshman is firmly entrenched at 149 after some earlier lineup questions.

157 pounds

1. Levi Haines – Penn State (1)
2. Vince Zerban – Northern Colorado (3)
3. Jacori Teemer – Arizona State (4)

8. Daniel Cardenas – Stanford (11)
9. Bryce Andonian – Virginia Tech (8)
10. Will Lewan – Michigan (12)

Franek dropped down a few spots and it moved others up. Cardenas is back in the top 10 for Stanford and so is Lewan for Michigan. Still, everyone is chasing the Nittany Lion right now who was last year’s runner up.

165 pounds

8. Peyton Hall – West Virginia (8)
9. Caleb Fish – Michigan State (9)
10. Cameron Amine – Michigan (10)

No changes this week and O’Toole proved why he is the best. He had a controlling win over Olejnik. At this point, it’s hard to pick against him for a third NCAA title in March, entrenching him as one of the best Mizzou wrestlers of all-time.

2. Mekhi Lewis – Virginia Tech (2)

10. Peyton Mocco – Missouri (5)

Mocco stayed in the top 10 but fell to 9-2 on the season. Starocci is still the No. 1 by far while Lewis remained in the second spot. Conigliaro has been so good this year, going 18-1 and is now in the top five.

10. Dylan Fishback – NC State (10)

The top four stayed the same while there was some movement in the bottom half of the top 10. Salazar is now in the top five, pushing Truax down. Otherwise, pretty much the same.
