D3 College Wrestling Preseason Rankings: 174

Schlottke · 08-27-2007, 11:40 AM

Now, for 174. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 all return at this weight, as do several other 2007 qualifiers, making 174 one of the deeper weights in terms of returning athletes. Chelf is the odds on favorite to repeat his 2007 championship after steamrolling his way to the title last year, but a strong group of challengers will look to knock him off his perch.

1. Chelf (LX)
2. Vanderhyde (Oliv)
3. Bath (WSP)
4. Gotreau (Aug)
5. Winfield (McD)

Who does Wartburg having coming in at 174?

They have 4 returning at 174 pounders listed on their roster, http://www.go-knights.net/wrestling/roster.html , but they may have more depth than that.

I forgot about Zastrow. He was the starter last year.
