Ruschell ranked 9th

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone should check out the pre-season rankings on USA Wrestlings website www.themat.com.

Currently they have Ruschell ranked ninth behind Alex Tsirtsis from Iowa and Manuel Rivera from Minnesota, both of whom he beat last year.  There is some consolation in the sense that he is one spot in front of Adam Frey from Cornell who is an exceptional wrestler.

I look for Ruschell to place high this year at nationals.  I think last year he was still adjusting to the weight jump (he only wrestled 112 his senior year two and a half years ago).  With the extra year of experience I think it's possible, although a long shot, for him to win it all.  I also think Wisconson as a team has a real chance placing high as a team this year.  They have a seven wrestlers ranked, including top-ranked Henning and Ruschell.

Ruschell weighed in at 112 all year but wrestled 119 in all the Kentucky tournaments.  He wrestled 112 at Beast of the East (7th) and Senior Nationals (3rd).
