Comments: This class gets stronger every week with wrestlers dropping for postseason. This week it's Welsh down from 112. Based on his recent outings, it's tempting to put Welsh No. 1, but for now he's slotted between top-ranked Cabrera and No. 3 Cruz. Cabrera was 3-0 last week with 3-2 and 7-1 wins over Cruz and Fake, respectively. Welsh has reeled off 12 straight victories -- most coming at 112. Cruz was 2-1 last week, Fritz 3-0 and Fake 2-1.

Unbeaten Shaffer went 5-0 last week and moves from fifth to second. Davis has been equally strong -- he was 2-0 last week -- and jumps into fourth spot from honorable mention.
