Dec 19 | Wrestling
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers redshirt senior Steve Adamcsik (Chester, N.J.) moved from No. 16 to No. 14 in the 141-pound weight class in the most recent InterMat/NWCA/NWMA Division I Individual Rankings. The poll, a collaborative effort by InterMat, the National Wrestling Media Association (NWMA) and the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA), ranks the top 20 wrestlers in each weight class.
"I am very happy for Steve," said first year head coach Scott Goodale. "He has worked very hard these last three months and the ranking is well-deserved. Right now he is concentrating on training for the Midlands tournament out in Chicago (where he is pre-seeded No. 7). This tournament is a great opportunity to compete at the national level against some of the best kids in the country."
Adamcsik was ranked No. 20 at the beginning of the season, and had been at No. 19 for the past two polls. After redshirting last season, Adamcsik is 13-4 this year with five major decisions.
The Rutgers wrestling team next takes to the mat on Friday, Jan. 4, when they face Wagner and Lock Haven at the College Ave. Gym, starting at 3:00 p.m.
