The top four ranked teams remain the same in NAIA Wrestling rankings in December



By NAIA | Dec. 12, 2013, 12:noon (ET)
The top four teams remain unchanged for the third-straight poll with defending national champion Grand View (Iowa) headlining the group with the top-spot in the second regular-season edition of the NAIA Wrestling Coaches’ Top 20 Poll, the national office announced Wednesday. The Vikings, who tallied 129.5 points, are making their 11th-straight appearance at No. 1.

Individually, Grand View boasts 11 ranked wrestlers, including five individuals that are listed among the top three in their respective weight class. Gustavo Martinez (141) and Eric Thompson (285) are the Vikings’ two No. 1-ranked individuals and have both held that post in every poll this season. Martinez owns a 9-2 overall record this year, including three victories against NCAA Division I opponents, while Thompson is 11-1, including five pins.

Checking in a No. 2 is Montana State-Northern with 129 points.

Missouri Valley with 96.5 points and Campbellsville (Ky.) with 94 points hold down the No. 3 and No. 4 spots, respectively. Jake Ekster (149) – one of two new top-ranked wrestlers this edition – is Missouri Valley’s lone No. 1 individual. The sophomore is 5-0 on the season, with his most recent victory coming against Cullen Halpin of NCAA Division II Lindenwood (Mo.), 4-2, on Nov. 23.

Campbellsville owns a poll-high 12 ranked grapplers. The Tigers are 8-3 in duals this season. Brandon Westerman, who is ranked No. 2 at 141 pounds is the program’s highest ranking individual.

No. 5 Great Falls (Mont.) rounds out the top five with 78 points. The Argonauts had been ranked No. 6 in the previous two editions.

For the second-straight week, Cumberland (Tenn.) made the largest improvement within the Top 20, jumping four spots to No. 8. This is the first time the Bulldogs have been ranked in the top 10 since Jan. 25, 2011.

No. 18 Cumberlands (Ky.) and No. 20 Morningside (Iowa) are this week’s newcomers.

Simpson’s (Calif.) A.J. Valles at 133 pounds joins Ekster as this edition’s only other new top-ranked individual. Valles has won four-straight en route to a 10-3 record on the year.

The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the Qualifying Groups.
