WIN’s First Weekly NCAA Div. I Rankings and TPI
NEWTON, Iowa — Three freshmen — Ohio State’s Jesse Mendez and a pair of Iowa State wrestlers, Casey Swiderski and Paniro Johnson — are among 14 newcomers to WIN Magazine’s first weekly rankings and Tournament Power Index of 2022-23, presented by Cliff Keen Athletic.
Mendez, the 2021 Junior Hodge Trophy winner from Crown Point, Ind., won the Michigan State Open last weekend at 133 pounds to earn the No. 11 individual ranking at that weight for the Buckeyes. Swiderski, a native of Dundee, Mich., and Johnson from Erie, Pa., each captured big wins last weekend when the Cyclones defeated Wisconsin in the Battle of the River City event in Jacksonville, Fla. Swiderski is ranked 11th at 141 and Johnson is ranked 14th at 149.
Penn State, with four wrestlers ranked No. 1 at their weight classes — Roman Bravo-Young (133), Carter Starocci (174), Aaron Brooks (184) and Max Dean (197) — remains No. 1 in WIN’s Tournament Power Index and will open its season this Friday in a home dual against Lock Haven.

North Dakota State breaks into Top 25 after weekend upset
Manheim, Pennsylvania – The first weekend of Division I college wrestling came and went with North Dakota State making the biggest early-season statement with its 20-16 upset of then-No. 8 Nebraska on Friday in Lincoln.
The Bison (1-0) vaulted into the Top 25 for the first time this season at No. 19 as the latest NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll was released on Wednesday.
It’s the first time North Dakota State has been ranked in the NWCA Division first time since January 9, 2019 when they were ranked No. 23.
Missouri was the only Top 5 team in dual action over the weekend. The Tigers blanked Lindenwood 55-0 in a unique dual meet held outside at the school’s softball facility, The Diamond. The Tigers (1-0) moved up to No. 3 this week. There was some reorganization in the Top 10 as Iowa State went 3-0 in Jacksonville, Florida, including a resounding 26-6 win over then-No. 12 Wisconsin at The Battle in River City.
NC State (1-0) opened its season with a 26-12 home win over Appalachian State. … rest of story at NWCAonline.com/north-dakota-state-breaks-into-top-25-after-weekend-upset
