Wolfpack Wrestling has been ranked in top-10 in 82 straight polls
RALEIGH, N.C. – For the sixth straight season, the NC State wrestling team has finished in the top-10 of the final NWCA Coaches Poll. After finishing the dual season with a 6-1 record, the Pack finished the 2021 regular season ranked #7 nationally.
Â
The Pack started the 2021 season at #4 and remained there for the first four polls. NC State then was up to #3 nationally for a couple of weeks after back-to-back top-15 ACC wins over Pitt and UNC. The #3 national ranking was the second-highest in school history (also accomplished the four polls last season), and only bested by a final ranking of #2 in 2016.
Â
A loss at then-#8 Virginia Tech, dropped NC State to #7. The Pack was ranked #7 the final three polls of the season.
Â
NC State has been ranked in the top-10 in the Coaches Poll for 82 straight polls dating back over six seasons, after having not been ranked in the top-10 at all since 1993.
Â
The 2021 ACC Championship will take place Sunday inside Reynolds Coliseum. NC State has won the ACC title the last two years, and will be looking to capture its third straight for the first time since the late 1980s.
