At 149 lbs, Yahya Thomas went 5-1 with three bonus-points victories en route to a Top-3 finish at a highly competitive 149 lb weight class. Thomas earned three ranked wins over the weekend, picking up a convincing 5-2 decision over No. 12 ranked Colin Realbuto (Northern Iowa) in Friday night's quarterfinals, a fall over No. 18 Jackson Arrington (NC State), and a 2-1 decision over No. 3 Jonathan Millner (Appalachian State). His lone setback of the weekend came to No. 5 Sammy Sasso (Ohio State), who went on to win the 149 lb bracket. Thomas jumped a spot in the latest FloWrestling rankings up to No. 6 in the nation at 149 lbs.
Trevor Chumbley continued his breakout campaign in his first full season in the Wildcats' lineup at 157 lbs, going 5-2 and finishing 5th place in his class. Chumbley's two losses came by a combined margin of three points against now-No. 3 ranked Kendall Coleman (Purdue; 6-5 decision) and the now-No.12 Ed Scott (NC State; 3-1 decision). Chumbley picked up bonus points in three of his five victories, and moved up two spots in the latest 157 lb rankings up to No. 22 in the country.
Troy Fisher and Chris Cannon each earned podium finishes at 174 lbs and 133 lbs, respectively. Fisher sits firmly at No. 21 in the country at 174 lbs, while the two-time All-American Cannon is ranked No. 12 at 133 lbs. At 125 lbs, Michael DeAugustino earned a No. 1 pre-seed at CKLV, but was forced to pull out of the tournament after suffering an injury in his first bout of the weekend. An All-American last year at 125 lbs, DeAugustino still sits at No. 4 in the country in his weight class.
