Iowa jumps to No. 2, knocking Ohio State to No. 3 in TrackWrestling rankings

One college standout returned to his starting lineup last week. Another was lost for the season.

Iowa and Ohio State traded places with the Hawkeyes climbing up to the No. 2 spot. Michigan and North Carolina State hurdled Oklahoma State. Rutgers and Missouri moved into the Top 10 while Northwestern, Oregon State and Princeton moved out.

For a light week on the college wrestling schedule, there some notable changes in the Trackwrestling Division I Rankings Presented by Resilite.

Virginia ditched its plan to redshirt Jack Mueller, and the 125-pound All-American debuts this week in the rankings at No. 7. Clarion announced senior Brock Zacherl, who had been ranked fifth at 149, will miss the remainder of the season with an injury.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma State lost a little bit of ground when the Cowboys shuffled some lineup pieces around. Dakota Geer replaces All-American Preston Wiegel in the rankings this week at 197. He checks in at No. 11.

The Trackwrestling 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 rankings are compiled by David Mirikitani.
