EDMOND (Jan. 25) -- Central Oklahoma remained sixth in the NCAA Division II poll that was released Wednesday by the NCAA Division II Wrestling Coaches Association.

The Bronchos, 6-4 in duals, earned 120 points in voting of coaches from around the country to maintain their spot in the rankings. St. Cloud State was the unanimous No. 1 pick, followed by Newberry, Augustana, Nebraska-Kearney and Grand Canyon.

UCO has met seven teams in the top 20, beating T-No. 3 UNK, No. 11 Wisconsin-Parkside and No. 19 Findlay while losing to top-rated St. Cloud, T-No. 3 Augustana, No. 9 Adams State and No. 15 Fort Hays State.

The Bronchos have three individuals in the rankings -- 184 Tanner Keck (second), 157 Cory Dauphin (fourth) and 133 Trison Graham (seventh).

Dauphin and Graham are currently out of the lineup along with 174 Kelly Henderson, with all three returning All-Americans set to miss UCO's dual Wednesday night at NAIA's fifth-ranked Oklahoma City.
