INDIANAPOLIS -- Five ODU wrestlers are ranked in the NCAA's first set of coaches' panel rankings released Thursday. 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 to be held at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
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 2016 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. To be eligible for a slot in the coaches' panel rankings, a wrestler must be designated as a starter at a respective weight class, must have participated in at least five matches against Division I opponents in the weight class and have wrestled within the last 30 days.
