A pair of Junior World Team members landed themselves at No. 18 Kamal Bey (Colorado Springs, Colo./Front Range WC) at 75 kg and G’Angelo Hancock (Colorado Springs, Colo./NYAC/USOTC) at 98 kg. Both wrestlers recently won the Dave Schultz Memorial International in February, and where U.S. National champions in December.

Moving up a spot from last month’s ranking to come in at No. 19 is Hayden Zillmer (Crosby, Minn./Minnesota Storm) at 98 kg. Zillmer was a silver medalist at the Dave Schultz Memorial in February

Also, coming in at No. 19 is Geordan Speiller (Oviedo, Fla./Florida Jets) at 75 kg. Speiller also won the Dave Schultz Memorial, where he took home gold. He most recently competed at the Cerro Pelado in Cuba, where he added another gold medal.

Two- Olympian Ben Provisor (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC) found himself a place in the rankings at No. 20 at 85 kg after winning gold at the Dave Schultz Memorial.

Last month, only one U.S. Greco-Roman wrestler was ranked, so this is a positive improvement within the UWW rankings.
