INDIANAPOLIS-- In the first regular season ranking of the season, defending national champion St. Cloud State tops the Division II Wrestling Coaches Association poll, released Monday evening on D2wrestle.com

The Huskies feature six nationally-ranked wrestlers, led by Brett Valazquez at 125 and Austin Goergen at 285, with both student-athletes topping their weight class in the individual rankings. Maryville held strong in the #2 spot, followed by Notre Dame, McKendree and Nebraska-Kearney all making jumps into the nation's top five.

A pair of teams, Findlay and Central Oklahoma, made a move into the top 25 after not being ranked in the preseason edition of the rankings, while Northern State's eight-spot leap from 15th to a tie for seventh with Upper Iowa made them the biggest mover in this edition of the Top 25.

The next ranking will be published during the first week of the New Year.
