157: Josh Shields Has Himself A Weekend
The 157-pound weight class was all about Josh Shields this weekend. The Arizona State sophomore took out two All-Americans in consecutive dual meets, beating No. 8 Alec Pantaleo and No. 4 Micah Jordan. Shields moves up from No. 11 to No. 5.
Lehigh’s Cole Walter looks like he’ll be spending the season at 165 pounds, so he is moved to that weight class. His teammate Ian Brown enters the rankings just ahead of Penn’s May Bethea, who moved down after a loss to Cornell’s Jon Jay Chavez.
