141: McKenna Jumps Jack In A Flash
Joey McKenna was hurt by an early loss to Tommy Thorn with little on this season's resume at the time to keep him from falling outside of the top five. Recent wins over Nick Lee and last week's win over Kevin Jack has McKenna back at #4, while Jack falls from #2 to #5.
Their lack of top five wins hold Brock Zacherl and Dean Heil at bay, at #6 and #7, respectively.
Elsewhere, Lehigh’s Luke Karam had a tough weekend, losing to Drew Longo and Nick Zanetta, and drops out of the top 20. Zanetta sneaks back into the top 20, as does Vince Turk, who appears to have beaten out teammate Carter Happel for the starting spot in Iowa's lineup. Turk’s victory over Ian Parker moves him one spot ahead of his in-state rival.
