PHILADELPHIA – Penn Wrestling opens the new calendar year with national recognition. As a team the Quakers entered Flo-wrestling's Top 25 at No. 25 and continues to see wrestlers nationally ranked. Ten Quakers are represented in ten weight classes after a stellar outing at the MatMen Open to close out the 2021 calendar year. 

Ten wrestlers ranked in ten weight classes is the most since head coach Roger Reina resumed head coaching duties four years ago. 
 
Rankings are from Amateur Wrestling News, Flo-wrestling, Intermat, Wrestlstat, The Open Mat, and Wrestling Insider Newsmag.
 
Senior Neil Antrassian (184), juniors Anthony Artalona (149), Doug Zapf (157), and Ben Goldin (285), sophomores Michael Colaiocco (133), CJ Composto (141), Lucas Revano (165), and Cole Urbas (197), and freshmen Ryan Miller (125) and Nick Incontrara (174) are all ranked in the most recent collegiate wrestling rankings.  
 
Colaiocco earned the highest ranking of a Quaker as he is ranked seventh by The Open Mat. He also received rankings from Wrestling Insider (#10), Flo-wrestling (#12), Amateur Wrestling News (#13), Intermat (#13), and Wrestlestat (#22). The sophomore improved his season record to 10-2 after the MatMen Open.
 
Composto enters the national rankings after taking second place at 141 pounds, going 3-1 at the MatMen Open. He earned a trio of take downs in overtime to earn a 7-5 decision against then-#24 Cole Matthews (Pitt) to advance to the title bout.
