 In addition to the
team rankings, the poll has seven individuals
ranked in their respective weights. Leading the way are returning
all-Americans Mark Marianovich at 149 pounds and Michael Johnson at
184 pounds. Marianovich, a sophomore from Chicago and ranked fourth
last year, finds himself at the top of the list, ranked No. 1 at 149
pounds. Johnson, a sophomore from Indianapolis, Ind., and seventh
last year, is ranked second. Adding to this list are Prentice
Thomas, 125 pounds, sophomore from Carbondale, ranked fifth; Coy
Davidson, 133, freshman from Litchfield, ranked 12th; Ethan Raley,
141, freshman from Nineveh, Ind., ranked 12th; Matt Dwyer, 197,
freshman from South Beloit, ranked seventh; and West Cathcart,
heavyweight, freshman from Geneseo, ranked ninth."I'm excited
about our preseason ranking," says Dave Klemm, head coach. "It's
nice to get some early recognition. However, it's a long way from
Feb. 24 and the national tournament. I believe these rankings will
have some dramatic changes as the season progresses. This is a great
starting point for us. We have a very talented team. With a lot of
hard work and a little luck, I believe we can finish this high or
higher."
