184 is a deep weight with nine returning regional placewinners as well as some excellent newcomers. Detwiler was an undefeated #2 seed last year and a 2019 NCAA qualifier. Liegel is 9-1 with his only loss coming to start the year at Iowa State. Stevens was the Southeast runner-up and has only lost to Clarion so far.
Schott has wins over Krueger, Kuehn, and McBride and only lost to Liegel this season. Montford won the CCIW and has beaten Vandenbush, Brittain, and O’Donnell. The ARC shakes out pretty well in order with Schott, Krueger, Kuehn, and McBride. Rogge has not seen any of the other expected entries but is undefeated.
