184? Harry Lester ranked #1 by USA Wr at Greco 76 kg/163 lb last time i looked---
maybe if Harry is moving to 184 it could be a progression to eventually challenge Tommy Rowlands ---saw Tommy this Winter, hes pushing that upper 264 limit. Of course that was good living, im sure he will wr at 240 or so.

These are the updated USAW rankings. I wonder if there's a mistake.

When I saw him at the Ironman, he seemed big but this shocked me. He really isn't that tall, I would be amazed if he could pack that much onto his frame. We all know how big international 185s can be before a cut, so I would wonder about this.

By the way, please god somebody unseat Frayer/Bono/Schwab at 145.5. It is time for new blood in there and both Caldwell and Metcalf have huge upsides. I like the young group at 163.
Ohio is well represented in the women's rankings- congratulations to all of them.

Trent Paulson did it last year, but he's bumped up for this year. Don't know if he'll go back down in 2012 or what.
I'm very excited to see how 145.5 shakes out in a few years, though. Caldwell, Metcalf, and Jaggers are all exciting to watch. Add the old blood that you mentioned to that mix and you should have a lot of good competition for that spot.

-----------------------------------
probably no mistake, according to reports Harry intends to take a year off, maybe this is his way of doing it? wrestling but at a wt that doesnt matter to him? Georgia is famous for their BBQ, he can enjoy wrestling & eating too.
btw, i am told most foreign wrestlers don't cut much wt, not like Americans do. s/BobP

I don't think that is very true, at least not for the Russians. I haven't personally seen it, but i hear they need IV's when they step off the scale.
