NCAA Rankings 2017-18
157: Hidlay Rockets To No. 3
The top of this weight class just got more interesting after redshirt freshman Hayden Hidlay won the Reno TOC over former No. 2 Joey Lavallee. Hidlay moves up to No. 3, behind Michael Kemerer, who takes over the No. 2 spot. Lavallee was runner-up at 157 at last year's NCAAs but has never faced Kemerer and moves down to No. 4 after his loss to Hidlay.
All-American Paul Fox had a tougher time in Reno and falls out of the rankings after being eliminated in the consolation bracket by Air Force's Alex Mossing. Kennedy Monday's upset of Tyler Berger gets him the No. 18 spot in his top 20 debut.
