Kazimir, who took the title at 141 pounds at the Princeton Open, has been off to a strong start and within the composite rankings of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association, Kazimir currently holds the highest ranking of anyone falling under the 141-pound ranking. Along with Kazimir, Core Shie (Army), Anthony Sparacio (Binghamton) and Sal Profaci (American) have all earned rankings across the six publications that the EIWA considers when putting together weekly rankings for wrestlers within the EIWA.
