Minimal changes in Week 18 of Trackwrestling rankings
Share:
by trackwrestling.com
Division I wrestling's first postseason tournament came and went without any colossal upsets. As a result, there were only subtle shifts this week in the Trackwrestling rankings.
The Top 10 teams remained locked in the same position for the second straight week with Penn State out in front of the pack, followed by Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Iowa, Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Missouri, Cornell, Arizona State and Lehigh.
And the Top 10 individuals remained the same at nine of the 10 weight classes. The lone exception was 184 pounds, where North Carolina State’s Mike Macchiavello moved up one notch to No. 10, taking the place of Pat Downey, who was removed from the rankings after being dismissed from the team at Iowa State.
Trackwrestling’s team rankings are based off the number of advancement and placement points each squad would accumulate if its wrestlers finished in those ranking slots at the NCAA Championships. Top-ranked wrestlers earn 20 points, followed by 16 for second, 13.5 for third, 12.5 for fourth, 10 for fifth, 9 for sixth, 6.5 for seventh, 5.5 for eighth, 2 for spots 9-12, 1.5 for spots 13-16 and 1 for 17-25.
The individual rankings are compiled by David Mirikitani.
