California's Buchanan High climbed two spots to reach the Top 5 of this week's Top 35 National High School Wrestling Rankings, while Blair Academy (NJ) jumped six spots to enter the Top 10. Bishop McDevitt (PA) and St. Edward (OH) also moved up six spots each, to No. 11 and No. 12, respectively.

Previous rank: 8

Idle.

7. Delbarton, NJ

Previous rank: 5

Put up a 2-1 record at the St. Edward Quad, losing to St. Edward, 34-33, while missing an injured wrestler. Given all they have accomplished this year, a slight tumble was in order, but they did finish ahead of St. Edward at PowerAde.

8. Malvern Prep, PA

Previous rank: 6

Went 5-0 at the PAISSA Duals, defeating the Hill School (PA) in the finals, 64-12.

9. St. Joseph Regional, NJ

Previous rank: 11

Beat Tenafly, NJ in a dual meet, 71-11. A transfer, highly ranked Anthony Harris (215), is now eligible to compete and saw Adrian DeJesus (138) return to the lineup this week.

10. Blair Academy, NJ

Previous rank: 16

Defeated North Hunterdon, NJ in a dual, 62-12.

11. Bishop McDevitt, PA

Previous rank: 17

Won two dual meets versus Pennsylvania teams, East Pennsboro (74-0) and Tulpehocken (55-14). They moved up since they finished ahead of St. Edward at Escape the Rock very recently.

12. St. Edward, OH

Previous rank: 18

Went unscathed at their quad over the weekend, beating Delbarton (34-33), Clovis, CA (39-19), and Detroit Catholic Central, MI (54-6). Their earlier finishes to some teams ahead of them and a dual loss to Blair Academy doesn’t make them automatically move ahead of St. Edward. Their entire seasons need to be weighed, not just one match.
