RALEIGH, N.C. - The NCAA has announced the qualifier allocations for the 2016 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, with the Atlantic Coast Conference receiving 34 automatic spots, including multiple qualifiers in all 10 weight classes.
With six teams in the conference, the ACC received five qualifiers in the 165- and 197-pound weight classes and four qualifiers in the 125-, 141-pound weight class. Three spots were awarded to the conference at 133, 157, 184 and 285, while the 149-, 174-pound weight classes each received two slots.
Â
The 2016 ACC Wrestling Championship will be held March 6 in Charlottesville, Va. All six ACC schools are able to send one participant per weight class.
Each qualifying (conference) tournament was awarded spots per weight class based on current year data. Each wrestler was measured on the following: Division I winning percentage at the weight class; rating percentage index (RPI); and coaches ranking. Â
For each wrestler that reached the threshold in at least two of the three categories, his qualifying tournament was awarded a qualifying spot in that weight class. Each qualifying tournament, with automatic qualifying status, was awarded a minimum of one wrestler per weight class, which will go to the tournament champion, even if they did not have any wrestlers reach at least two of the three thresholds. NCAA tournament spots for each qualifying event will be awarded at the tournament based solely on place-finish.
After all of the qualifying events have concluded, the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee will meet in-person to select the remaining 46 at-large qualifiers, which will be announced on March 9. All weight classes will consist of 33 wrestlers. The at-large selections will be made based on the following criteria: head-to-head competition; quality wins; coaches ranking; results against common opponents; RPI; qualifying event placement; and winning percentage.
The 2016 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships will be held in New York March 17-19.
NC State also had eight wrestlers ranked in the third straight NCAA Coaches' Panel Rankings and also eight were ranked in the second RPI also released by the NCAA.
