2022-23 NCAA Division II Rankings

174 pounds

As the regular season winds down and the postseason heats up, we did not see much movement in the NCAA D2 Rankings.  The biggest moves are with the big guys, Shawn Streck took over the #1 spot with a recent win over previous #1 Lee Herrington. This weight will be very hotly contested at every super region and will be a real battle at the NCAA Championships.  Last year's national champion Darrell Mason of Minnesota State is getting some matches in and could definitely be problems at the regional and ultimately the national tournament in March.  

One of the questions that will need to be answered this weekend: How many guys who have missed some time due to injury will we see back in action?  

This weekend's super regional tournaments will determine who gets to compete at the NCAA Championships and will obviously be important in the championship team race. Look for teams like St. Cloud, Nebraska-Kearney, UW Parkside and Central Oklahoma to qualify large percentages of their teams and battle it out at the national tournament in March.
