5. Austin Rudolf, Neligh-Oakdale

6. Ayden Molzahn, Alma

Contenders

Xavier Perez, Elm Creek

RJ Wilmes, Creighton

Ethan Baumert, GACC

Comments

Holthus now has a head to head win over Van Pelt with 1-0 decision in the finals at Medicine Valley. Van Pelt has beaten Molzahn twice now after a fall at the RPAC, Molzahn’s only losses on the season. Lewis has now split matches with Rudolf since our last ratings. Denaeyer moves into the ratings with wins over Rudolf in the finals at Central Valley.

160

1. Aiden Kuester, Neligh-Oakdale

2. Brody Dickinson, Freeman

3. Levi Belina, Howells-Dodge

4. Brett Tryon, Southwest

5. Trevin Brecka, East Butler

6. Colin Arehart, Ansley/Litchfield

Contenders

Wyatt Jenkins, Arapahoe

Kade Bottorf, Twin Loup

Sean Simonson, Mullen

Comments

Kuester has been at the top of this weight all season. Dickinson recently won the Thayer Central Invite. Belina is wrestling well and is the East Husker champ. Tryon hasn’t seen much of the top six, but has wrestled well against out of class contenders. Belina and Brecka have split matches this season. Arehart moves in after winning at South Loup.

170

1. Conner Schutz, Hi-Line

2. Christian Leonard, Bayard

3. Jestin Bayer, Howells-Dodge

4. Sam Vortherms, Creighton

5. Alizae Mejia, Plainview

6. Hunter Arehart, Ansley/Litchfield

Contenders

Sutton Pohlman, Stanton

Slate Micheel, Twin Loup

Jason Burch, Weeping Water

Comments

Schutz will be a clear #1 at 170 and continues a dominant year including a fall over Arehart in the finals of the FKC Conference tournament. Leonard remains undefeated and has yet to see rated competition. Bayer improves his position with several wins over Pohlman and a couple over Vortherms. Vortherms picked up a fall over Mejia to become the Lewis & Clark Conference champ.

182

1. Reece Zutavern, Sandhills/Thedford

2. Cash Meier, GACC

3. Jace Ostrom, Burwell

4. Cooper Slingsby, Ansley-Litchfield

5. Brett Bridger, Fullerton

6. Keegan Shuler, Hitchcock County

Contenders

Sean Duffy, Kenesaw

Lucas Hammer Plainview

Gunner Mumford, Thayer Central

Comments

Zutavern is at the top of 182 and recently picked up a few wins over Ostrom. Meier was Mid State Conference champion this past week. Ostrom split with Slingsby wrestling twice at Ord. Bridger continues to beat contenders winning at Shelton and Central Valley. Shuler moves in after winning the RPAC.

195

1. Kolby Larsen, Ansley/Litchfield

2. Gunner Reimers, Palmer

3. Gavin White, Sutherland

4. Bobby Evans, Cambridge

5. Alex Gideon, Burwell

6. Reed McFadden, Sandhills/Thedford

Contenders

Chesney Stanczyk, Garden County

Colton Horne, Doniphan-Turmbull

Colten Thiele, Summerland

Comments

195 has become an intriguing and deep weight class. Larsen recently handed Reimers his first loss of the season in the finals at South Loup. Evans has beaten Larsen, White has beaten Evans, Reimers has beaten a host of contenders. Gideon moves in with multiple wins over McFadden and several contenders. McFadden currently holds head to head advantages over multiple contenders as well. Surprised to see previously 285 #2 Stubbs competing a couple weeks in a row down at 195, dropping matches to Larson, Gideon, Evans, and Stanczyk in the process. Will be interesting to see if this move was permanent or temporary. Lots of potential medalists outside of the top six at this weight.

220

1. Chet Wichmann, Palmer

2. Brandon Knoles, Perkins County

3. Luke Howitt, Maxwell

4. Clayton Hardy, Southwest

5. Julien Grindle, Cambridge

6. Syrus Snow, Hi-Line

Contenders

Gavin Barela, Ansley/Litchfield

Tel Kvanvig, Mullen

Tyler Dawe, Burwell

Comments

Wichmann continues to impress with a recent championship at a challenging Plainview Invite. Knoles was the champion at Doniphan-Trumbull. Recently Howitt has found some more success against contenders. Hardy moves up in the ratings with a head to head over Grindle at the RPAC, splitting victories with him now. Snow moves into the ratings as he also has split with Grindle.

285

1. Levi Kerner, Arapahoe

2. Payton Christiancy, Superior

3. Hunter Mayfield, Burwell

4. Brayton Branic, Sandhills/Thedford

5. Bryson Shoemaker, Southwest

6. Jordy Baland, Doniphan-Trumbull

Contenders

JySeann Pugh, Pleasanton

Austin Meyer, Perkins County

Caleb Klein, Hastings St. Cecilia

Comments

Kerner is still the favorite of this weight class. Will be interesting to see where Stubbs enters districts, spending the last two weeks down at 195. Christiancy has yet to see Kerner and doesn’t have a loss to a Class D wrestler. Mayfield recently picked up a head to head over Branic. Baland enters the ratings with wins over a few contenders.
