Week 2 Individual State and Regional Rankings Updated

Heading into the second weekend of action for Pennsylvania Wrestling, most programs have had at least one competition thus far, and that is reflected in our updated Week 2 Rankings. The 2 pound allowance is only a little over a week away which means many of thee State’s top wrestlers will be on the move. View the Week 2 State Rankings here!

 

Notable Movers:

 

Sophomore Keanu Manuel (Downingtown East) drops to 106 pounds where he slides into the #3 spot in the Class 3A State Rankings. His season was cut short in 2018 from an injury and already this season has been banged up, If he can stay healthy through the post-season, a State Medal could be in his future.

2-time PIAA State Qualifier Dylan Reinhert (Gettysburg Area) took out 2018 PIAA State Medalist Ethan Baney (South Western) and moves into the #7 spot at 160 pounds. Only a junior, Dylan should make his third trip to the GIANT Center this season but also threaten for a State Medal.

Saucon Valley junior Matt Arciuolo is spending his first year in a Panthers singlet dominating his opponents as the BECAHI transfer rolled to a Top Hat title at 160 pounds in the opening weekend. He slides into the #6 spot in the Class 2A State Rankings this week.

 

New #1’s

 

With Council Rock South junior Kyle Waterman not down to 106 pounds just yet, he moves up to 113 pounds in Week 2 which opens the way for #1 Dylan Chappell (Seneca Valley) to take over the top spot. Interestingly enough, Chappell will compete at 113 pounds this weekend at the King of The Mountain where the Super 32 Medalist and Surge Champion could face off with top seed Waterman.

2018 PIAA State finalist Caleb Dowling (SJCA) takes over the #1 spot at 145 pounds in Class 2A after Ryan Vulakh moves up to 152 pounds. Dowling competed at the Ironman last weekend where he went (4-2).

2-time PIAA State Champion Julian Chlebove made his first appearance in a Northampton singlet since he won a State title his sophomore season back in March 2017. Despite suffering an elbow injury at the Super 32, he made his season debut count against District 11 foe Nazareth Area, picking up a major decision for the Konkrete Kids who defeated Nazareth (41-20) on Thursday night. He jumps up to #1 at 132 pounds with fellow 2-time PIAA State Champion Sam Hillegas (North Hills) still up at 138 pounds.

PIAA State Medalist Ty McGeary (West Allegheny) took out Surge Champion and WPIAL rival Jack Blumer (Kiski Area0 in the finals of the Eastern Area Invitational last weekend and takes over the top spot there after Clayton Ulrey (Lower Dauphin) moved up to 170 pounds for now.
