2024 Domestic Men's Freestyle Olympic Weight Rankings

65 kg

Zain Retherford comes in at #1 after I falsely predicted he would go 74 kg. Jesse Mendez had himself a tournament defeating Joey McKenna, James Green, and Yianni Diakomihalis before falling to James Green in the semifinals. However, McKenna then came back to defeat Mendez for 3rd place, so McKenna stays ahead of Mendez as he won the last match and Mendez suffered a loss to Larkin at the Bill Farrell. Andrew Alirez defeated Beau Bartlett and only lost to Nick Lee, but he gets pulled down with Yianni falling behind Mendez and McKenna. Alec Pantaleo comes into the rankings with a win over Seth Gross, who was previously #9. Pantaleo defeated Valencia head-to-head at Senior Nationals, so he jumps him as well.
