The d3wrestle.com/WWSport.com Wrestler of the Week is Colin Lenhardt of Johnson and Wales. Lenhardt put together a good weekend at the Roger Williams Invitational, winning the 174 lb. weight class. In the semifinals, he defeated two time NCAA qualifier and NWCA #5 Ryan Dormann of Stevens 8-6 before downing NWCA #9 Matt Cross of Messiah 12-7 in the finals. Also in this bracket were NWCA #7 and 2011 NCAA qualifier Kyle Roosa of Wesleyan and 2011 Empire runner-up Rico Plummer of Messiah. He was named the Outstanding Upper Weight at the tournament for his efforts.

Lenhardt, a junior from Hayes, Virginia, has now moved up to the #8 slot in the latest d3wrestle.com Rankings. He adds his Roger Williams title to a 4th place finish at the Ithaca Tournament the week before, running his season record to 8-1. This gives him a current career record of 63-19. He was a 2010 NCAA qualifier at 174 lbs. Johnson and Wales is taking this week and next off before next taking the mat at the York Invitational on December 3rd.

  1. >>”running his season record to 8-1″
    ********************
    If he took 4th at Ithaca then he must have at least 2 losses.

  3. Elias Larson should have been the D3WRESTLER OF THE WEEK IMO. Ranked #1 @ 157 and placed 2nd at the Michigan State Open. He lost 5-2 in the finals to Dan Cheza of Michigan State.

    From the Trine website:
    Larson, a 2011 Division III All-American, defeated three Division I opponents en-route to his runner-up finish. Larson pinned Matt Donohoe (Cleveland State) in the opening round, followed by a majority decision (8-0) over Tommie Graszl (Ashland), a 6-0 decision over Harrison Hightower (Ohio U) and a 4-3 win over two-time NCAA national qualifier and 16th ranked Anthony Jones Jr. (Michigan State). Larson fell in the championship match 5-2 to Michigan State’s David Cheza, who was ranked as high as 14th in Division I last season.

  4. Complaining about the Wrestler of the Week is almost as silly as complaining about the Honorable Mentions in the rankings.

  5. -i put IMO-in my opinion…I’m very proud of Eli-2nd place at MSU Open is pretty good…former roommate…felt the need to throw that out there for him

  6. It was a great performance for sure. I worked with Eli in high school for a few months, so I’m glad to see him do well.
