InterMat College Wrestling Individual Rankings updated after Week 13
The latest InterMat college wrestling individual rankings were updated after Week 13 of action and there were some changes throughout.
There were no new No. 1 wrestlers in each weight class but some upsets over the weekend caused some shuffling in the rankings.
Let’s dive into InterMat’s latest individual rankings across all weight classes in college wrestling.

10. Jordan Titus – West Virginia (10)
This weight class pretty much remained the same aside from Jamison and Echemendia. The two switched spots after their head-to-head matchup over the weekend. Otherwise, it was status quo.

2. Caleb Henson – Virginia Tech (2)

This weight class saw no changes this week. Lovett is now 19-0 on the season with Henson sporting a 21-1 record on the year. Gomez, despite his lack of matches (4-0) is still in the top six and could be the one to knock Lovett off his perch.

8. Bryce Andonian – Virginia Tech (8)
9. Peyton Robb – Nebraska (9)
10. Brock Mauller – Missouri (5)
Mauller fell down to No. 10 after losing to Shapiro. The latter has been a revelation for Cornell in the middleweights as a freshman as he makes his top 10 debut. He was the biggest shakeup, moving others down.

10. Cameron Amine – Michigan (10)
Ramirez gets bumped down as Carr and Olejnik move up. Carr beat Olejnik head to head, but everyone is still chasing O’Toole at the top of the mountain. Other than that, the weight class has the same faces within the top 10.
