Things start to shake out a little bit as the season’s first month comes to a close. This is the time of year when people who have not yet competed start to drop out of the rankings unless there is credible information that supports keeping them in. Also, this ranking points to there being a certain amount of parity at a few weights. When reading our rankings, it is important to remember that one win or loss does not determine where a wrestler is ranked. The body of work (including last season) plays a strong role as well.
Phil Ernst, an Honorable Mention at 197, is erroneously listed as wrestling for Wesleyan. He wrestles for Roger Williams.

The d3wrestle.com/WWSport.com Wrestler of the week is Joe Rau of Elmhurst College. Rau won the 184 lb. bracket at last weekend’s Concordia Open, riding two tech falls and a pair of major decisions to the finals where he defeated Dylan Azinger of Wartburg 10-3. Azinger was a 2010 All-American who had beaten 2011 All-American Greg Rhoads of Wabash in the semifinals before falling to Rau. Rau is now 6-0 on the season after winning in the dual against Wheaton on Tuesday.
Rau, a junior from Chicago, placed 7th at the NCAA Championships last season after a runner-up finish at the Great Lakes Region. He is currently ranked fourth in the latest d3wrestle.com Rankings and holds a career record of 57-16. Rau spent time training at the US Olympic Training Center this summer and also placed 3rd in the freestyle Canada Cup in July. Prior to the beginning of this season, he traveled to the Sunkist Open in Arizona and competed there. After taking this weekend off, Rau and the #14 Blue Jays will be back in action with a CCIW dual against Augustana on Wednesday before traveling back to Wisconsin for the Wisconsin Open at UW-Parkside.
The Division III Cultural Exchange trip will be late this spring to Bulgaria and Romania. See some more information below.
Mark Hawald, Brad Bruhn, Brandon Novak and Tim Fader are contacts for this trip next summer. Coach Novak will be the head coach of the trip and the rest are involved and may travel. There are numerous other coaches that have interest in going along–experienced guys that have gone on the trip with George Kalchev before. The tentative plans are:
May 20 or 21 Team camp
May 22 or 23 Flight out of Chicago (or New York if the majority of the wrestlers are from the east coast)
May 25th University aged freestyle tournament in Bucharest, Romania
May 26-June 2 travel mostly in Bulgaria with stops in 3 different cities for training and competitions
June 2 flight out of Sophia or Bucharest most likely–back to the US
Interested wrestlers can contact any of the coaches involved:
Brad Bruh, Cortladn, brad.bruhn@cortalnd.edu
Mark Hawald, Mount Union, hawaldmf@mountunion.edu
Brandon Novak, St. John’s, bgnovak@csbsju.edu
Tim Fader, UW-Whitewater, fadert@uww.edu
An initial deposit of $100 by Dec 16th is needed as well as $500 total down for each wrestler by Jan 15th. The total estimated cost is $2500. This price includes nearly every cost on the trip–airfare, hotels, transportation by bus each day, 3 full meals a day.

The d3wrestle.com/WWSport.com Wrestler of the Week is Colin Lenhardt of Johnson and Wales. Lenhardt put together a good weekend at the Roger Williams Invitational, winning the 174 lb. weight class. In the semifinals, he defeated two time NCAA qualifier and NWCA #5 Ryan Dormann of Stevens 8-6 before downing NWCA #9 Matt Cross of Messiah 12-7 in the finals. Also in this bracket were NWCA #7 and 2011 NCAA qualifier Kyle Roosa of Wesleyan and 2011 Empire runner-up Rico Plummer of Messiah. He was named the Outstanding Upper Weight at the tournament for his efforts.
Lenhardt, a junior from Hayes, Virginia, has now moved up to the #8 slot in the latest d3wrestle.com Rankings. He adds his Roger Williams title to a 4th place finish at the Ithaca Tournament the week before, running his season record to 8-1. This gives him a current career record of 63-19. He was a 2010 NCAA qualifier at 174 lbs. Johnson and Wales is taking this week and next off before next taking the mat at the York Invitational on December 3rd.
