CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference (MAC) announced its 2021-22 preseason wrestling rankings on Wednesday, as compiled by WrestleStat. WrestleStat projects that the Golden Eagle wrestling squad will place fifth in the MAC in 2022, with six wrestlers initially projected to finish in the top-five in their weight classes.
Last season Clarion placed seventh at the MAC Championships, an improvement of five spots over their previous year’s performance. Of the six Golden Eagles that placed in the top-eight in their respective brackets at last year’s championship, five return to the team this year, including Max Wohlabaugh (4th – 184), John Worthing (5th – 174), Kolby Ho (6th – 165), Kyle Schickel (8th – 141) and Ty Bagoly (8th – 285). Wohlabaugh, Worthing, Ho, and Bagoly were all projected to finish third in their respective weights in 2022.
A pair of transfers were also projected by the pollmakers to have an impact for the Golden Eagles in 2022. Senior Brent Moore, the 2018 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) champion at 141 pounds, is projected to place fourth in the MAC at 149 pounds this year. Will Feldkamp, an incoming transfer from MAC rival Northern Illinois, was picked to place fifth in the conference at 197 pounds.
The full poll and list of rankings by weight class are included below.
