"It's always the focus of our program to continually get better," said CU Head Coach Billy Greene. "In a competitive conference like the CAA, you're going to be challenged. When guys see that they're ranked, and others see their teammates are ranked, it makes them more confident in their abilities and they continue to get better. I believe success breeds more success."

Earning a fourth place ranking in the heavyweight division, Fennell led the Fighting Camels in individual wins last year and tied for the lead in pins.

The Sandusky, Ohio native ended the season with a 16-19 overall record, an 11-15 dual and a 6-6 mark in league contests with five pins. Highlighting Fennell's season was a win over one of the CAA's top heavyweights, Binghamton's Michael Patterson on Dec. 29 at the Southern Scuffle.

"There are a lot of young faces in the heavyweight division," said Greene. "With Jeremiah being a junior, he has experience under his belt that others really don't have in the conference. He now has an great opportunity to establish himself as a top three wrestler in his class."

A native of Long Valley, N.J., Landi ranks in at sixth in the 174 weight class after an injury laden freshman year where he notched a 4-4 overall mark, with a 2-2 dual record, earning two pins.

Landi began the season at 2-0, debuting at the NC State Duals, where he downed the Wolfpack's Cameron Reeves (13-5) and pinned Liberty's Si-Young Son at 0:55.

"Dillon showed some real promise during the first half of last season and picked up some wins for us," said Greene. "Of course, the second half, he was more a spectator with his injury, but he did get a chance to experience Division I college wrestling, and that will certainly help him. He's a tough kid that is very devoted to his sport."

Defending CAA champion Hofstra ranks first in the team portion of the poll, followed by Rider and Old Dominion, with Campbell checking in at ninth.

"We're always driven to be better," said Greene. "Our goal is to become a top program in this league. Hofstra, Rider, Old Dominion and Drexel are all high-level programs that send the bulk of their teams to the nationals. It's very obtainable to be able to compete with those teams. That has to be our goal."

Beginning with the Navy Classic on Nov. 17, the Fighting Camels will kick off the year facing Duquesne, George Mason, McDaniel College, Rutgers, West Virginia, Davidson, Liberty, Bucknell, Delaware State, Bloomsburg and Franklin and Marshall College in addition to host Navy.

From there, the Camels will host their first of five home matches with UNC Greensboro coming to Buies Creek on Monday, Nov. 26.
