The d3wrestle.com Wrestler of the Week is Paul Glover of Brockport. Glover won the 197 lb. title at the New Standard Invitational at York College this past weekend. The 2nd seeded Glover capped a 4-0 weekend with a 7-5 win over top seeded and #2 ranked Aaron Karns of Delaware Valley. Karns finished in 6th place at last year’s NCAA Championships. Glover’s weekend ran his season record to 11-2.
Glover, a senior from Rochester, New York, began the year at the always tough Brockport/Oklahoma Gold Invitational where he finished 2-2. Since then, he has gone undefeated, winning this past weekend but also winning the Eastern Michigan Open, picking up three wins against Division I competition. Brockport is off for the holidays but returns to action to host the Brockport Invitational on January 11th.
d3wrestle.com Rankings #4 – December 10, 2013
After a busy weekend, here is a new set of rankings. Several All-Americans lost this weekend, shaking up a few weights. The team rankings are also updated. It is worth mentioning that the formula used in the team rankings is designed to predict the team standings at the NCAA tournament. Therefore, teams that finished behind other teams in tournaments, or even lost in dual meets, may appear above those teams here. This is how the NCAA Championships work. For example, Oshkosh is ranked 14th here, even though they finished behind #35 Wheaton and #25 Central at the MSOE Invitational this weekend. Based on these individual rankings, we predict that Oshkosh would outscore both of those teams at the NCAA Championships primarily on the strength 2x defending champ Nazar Kulchytskyy and current #4 Dan Schiferl. Understanding the team ranking criteria will help make sense of what you see below. Here is the team ranking formula again:
12 points for #1, 11 for #2, 10 for #3….all the way down to 3 points for #10
Contenders are worth 2 points, Honorable Mentions are worth 1 point
Not having a wrestler listed is -1 point.
