Augustana’s TJ North continued his climb up the national rankings, moving up a spot in
the NCAA Division II Wrestling rankings released Wednesday. North is
joined by Jayd Docken in the individual rankings while the Vikings’ run in the
top 20 was short-lived as they fell back into the receiving votes section.

After joining the rankings over a month ago, North
checks in at No. 3 in the national 125-pound rankings. At 24-3 on the season,
North also sports a perfect 12-0 record against Division II competition,
including a decision win over now-No. 4 Alex Johns of Indianapolis.

Docken holds onto his No. 5 spot in the 197-pound
rankings aided by his 12-1 record this season. Docken’s only loss of the year
came against current fourth-ranked Julian Smith of McKendree. An All-America
honoree a year ago, Docken will face second-ranked Carl Broghammer of Upper
Iowa on Sunday.

The Vikings moved into the top 20 two weeks ago
and are still receiving votes in this week’s poll, but have fallen out of the
top 20.
