InterMat College Wrestling Individual Rankings updated after Week 4
The latest InterMat college wrestling individual rankings are up after Week 4 of the season. With a month gone, we have a look at some of the best wrestlers in the country.
Not only that, we got to see some upsets and others maintain their impressive dominance. We’re not even in December! (Yet).
Without further ado, let’s dive into InterMat’s latest individual rankings across all weight classes in college wrestling.
125 pounds
1. Jakob Camacho – NC State (3)
2. Matt Ramos – Purdue (4)
3. Anthony Noto – Lock Haven (1)
4. Richie Figueroa – Arizona State (2)
5. Michael DeAugustino – Michigan (7)
6. Dean Peterson – Rutgers (5)
7. Stevo Poulin – Northern Colorado (10)
8. Brett Ungar – Cornell (11)
9. Caleb Smith – Nebraska (12)
10. Eric Barnett – Wisconsin (9)
There were some shake ups in this weight class with a new No. 1 in Camacho from NC State. He’s 7-0 on the season while Ramos is back to No. 2. Ungar and Smith moved into the top 10 with undefeated records.
133 pounds
1. Daton Fix – Oklahoma State (1)
2. Vito Arujau – Cornell (2)
3. Aaron Nagao – Penn State (3)
4. Kai Orine – NC State (4)
5. Ryan Crookham – Lehigh (5)
6. Sam Latona – Virginia Tech (6)
7. Chris Cannon – Michigan (7)
8. Evan Frost – Iowa State (19)
9. Brody Teske – Iowa (8)
10. Julian Chlebove – Arizona State (9)
The top seven wrestlers remained the same this week. The biggest mover was Frost, who moved up to No. 8 after being No. 19 last week. The freshman is 4-0 this season for Iowa State.
141 pounds
1. Real Woods – Iowa (1)
2. Beau Bartlett – Penn State (2)
3. Lachlan McNeil – North Carolina (3)
4. Brock Hardy – Nebraska (4)
5. Jesse Mendez – Ohio State (5)
6. Clay Carlson – South Dakota State (6)
7. Ryan Jack – NC State (7)
8. Mosha Schwartz – Oklahoma (8)
9. Cael Happel – Northern Iowa (9)
10. Malyke Hines – Lehigh (10)
These rankings remain unchanged across the top 10 this week. In fact, the entire weight class remained unchanged through No. 33, so everyone just kept on winning and there were no upsets. A rare occasion.
149 pounds
1. Ridge Lovett – Nebraska (1)
2. Shayne Van Ness – Penn State (2)
3. Kyle Parco – Arizona State (3)
4. Caleb Henson – Virginia Tech (4)
5. Dylan D’Emilio – Ohio State (5)
6. Jackson Arrington – NC State (6)
7. Chance Lamer – Cal Poly (7)
8. Graham Rooks – Indiana (8)
9. Jaden Abas – Stanford (10)
10. Kellyn March – North Dakota State (11)
The top eight stayed the same here but Abas moved up a spot after last week and is now 2-1 on the year. March also moved into the top 10 despite a 1-2 record for North Dakota State, but this could change fast with his injury.
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 (5)
6. Will Lewan – Michigan (6)
7. Brock Mauller – Missouri (7)
8. Ed Scott – NC State (8)
9. Daniel Cardenas – Stanford (9)
10. Trevor Chumbley – Northwestern (10)
The top 10 remained the same this week as well, just like 141. Hains is 3-0 and Franek is 8-0, so maybe a national title preview? We have yet to see Chumbley wrestle a match and Teemer is still 0-1 on the year. Again, just the first month.
165 pounds
1. Keegan O’Toole – Missouri (1)
2. David Carr – Iowa State (2)
3. Cameron Amine – Michigan (3)
4. Izzak Olejnik – Oklahoma State (6)
5. Dean Hamiti – Wisconsin (4)
6. Mikey Caliendo – Iowa (5)
7. Julian Ramirez – Cornell (7)
8. Matthew Olguin – Oregon State (8)
9. Holden Heller – Pitt (9)
10. Antrell Taylor – Nebraska (10)
Olejnik is the biggest mover here, going from No. 6 to No. 4 with his 5-0 record. The Oklahoma State senior is making waves throughout the first month. The win over Hamiti put people on notice.
174 pounds
1. Carter Starocci – Penn State (1)
2. Mekhi Lewis – Virginia Tech (2)
3. Shane Griffith – Michigan (3)
4. Edmond Ruth – Illinois (4)
5. Carson Kharchla – Ohio State (5)
6. Peyton Mocco – Missouri (6)
7. Cade DeVos – South Dakota State (7)
8. Justin McCoy – Virginia (8)
9. Donnell Washington – Indiana (9)
10. Nick Incontrera – UPenn (10)
Another weight class with the same top 10 as last week. There’s no question Starocci is the best in the country and it’s not even close at this weight right now. Lewis and Griffith could be fighting for second place in March.
184 pounds
1. Parker Keckeisen – Northern Iowa (1)
2. Bernie Truax – Penn State (2)
3. Trey Munoz – Oregon State (3)
4. Chris Foca – Cornell (4)
5. Dustin Plott – Oklahoma State (5)
6. Isaiah Salazar – Minnesota (7)
7. Lenny Pinto – Nebraska (8)
8. Gavin Hoffman – Ohio State (9)
9. Will Feldkamp – Iowa State (6)
10. Gavin Kane – North Carolina (10)
The top five stood pat this week, but Salazar made a move up one spot in the rankings. He’s now 4-0 on the year for Minnesota. Feldkamp dropped three spots and is now 1-1 on the year for Iowa State.
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 (7)
8. Luke Surber – Oklahoma State (8)
9. Jaxon Smith – Maryland (9)
10. Michael Beard – Lehigh (10)
Nothing changed here. And to be clear, the Thanksgiving weekend didn’t feature too many teams in action, but Brooks is clearly the best here. Like Starocci at 174, it might not be close.
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)
Yet another weight class with no change here and Kerkvliet dominated Hendrickson in the All-Star classic. So unless Gable Steveson officially comes back to Minnesota, Kerkvliet might take over the mantle in dominant fashion.
