NCAA Rankings
RALEIGH, N.C. - The NCAA released the first of four coaches' panel rankings for the 2016-17 wrestling season. Nine of the Pack's 10 starters were ranked in their respective weight class - among the top-33 nationally.
Â
The final rankings will be one of the tools used as part of the selection process to determine the qualifiers for the 2016 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. This year's event is March 16-18 at the Scott Trade Center in St. Louis, Missouri .
Wrestlers in each weight class will be measured by winning percentage, rating percentage index (RPI) and coaches' rankings to earn spots in their qualifying tournaments for the 2017 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The coaches' rankings are compiled by a vote of coaches representing each qualifying tournament. For ranking purposes, coaches may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a starter at a respective weight class. In order to be eligible for the rankings, wrestlers must have participated in at least five matches against Division I opponents in the weight class and have wrestled within the last 30 days.
NC State returns to action Monday night, traveling to Chapel Hill to take on North Carolina in an ACC dual at 7 p.m.
