 Leading the way for the Lynx is sophomore DeQuence Goodman of
Chicago. Goodman is ranked first at heavyweight after finishing
third in the 2013 national tournament.Joining Goodman in the
rankings are sophomores Archie Williams, Darius Henderson, Luke Dunn
and Stephon Rudicil. Williams, from Champaign, is ranked fourth at
174 pounds after placing seventh in last year's national tournament.
Henderson, from Rock Island, is ranked sixth at 141 pounds. Dunn,
from Monticello, is ranked second at 157 pounds, and Rudicil, from
Bloomington, is ranked second at 184 pounds.
"It's nice for our program and team to be ranked second in the
country, but preseason rankings don't mean a whole lot," says Steven
Bradley, the Lynx head coach. "We have a lot of talented athletes on
this year's squad. We still need to finalize what weight classes
these guys will end up. We still have a lot of work to do as a team,
and we need to continue to get better every day. If we can do this,
then at the end of the year, hopefully we will be fighting for a
national title."
