NC State NCAA Championships TraditionNC State wrestling has a rich tradition of performing well at the NCAA Championships. NCStatehasfinishedinthetop10nationallythreetimes,includingaseventh-placefin-ish in 1993, the best-ever showing at nationals. The Wolfpack has finished in the national top 25 in 17 of the last 37 seasons as well, including three straight top-20 finishes.

TheWolfpack’scurrentstretchofthreestraighttop-20finishesisthelongeststreakinschool history since 1991-93. NC State finished 19th in 2014, 16th in 2015 and 11th last season with a school-record three All-Americans.

Six individuals have claimed national titles. Matt Reiss at 177 pounds in 1980, Tab Thacker at heavyweight in 1984, Scott Turner at 150 pounds in 1988, Sylvester Terkay at heavyweight in 1993, and Darrion Caldwell in 2009 at 149 pounds. Nick Gwiazdowski wasthefirstinschoolhistorytonotonlywintwotitles,buttodoitinback-to-backsea-sons when he won the heavyweight title in both 2014 and 2015.

NC State has also had three runner-ups (Michael Stokes-126 in 1989, Terkay in 1992, and Gwiazdowski last year.) In all, 21 NC State wrestlers have earned 33 All-America honors.Lastyear,Gwiazdowski,TommyGantt(157)andPeteRenda(184)allfinishedas All-Americans - although two graduated and Renda redshirted this season.

The remaining four have a combined six trips under their belts, with three having wrestled at their same weights at the 2016 NCAA Championships in New York. Redshirt-sopho-mores Sean Fausz (125) and Jamal Morris (133) will both be in the NCAAs for the sec-ond straight year, while junior Kevin Jack (141) is making his third straight trip.

Jack Looking for Second All-American AccoladeJunior Kevin Jack has been on a mission this year - after falling short last year, his goal has not only been to get back to All-American status but win a national title. He returns to the NCAA Championships for the third straight year at 141 pounds.

After an opening weekend loss this year, Jack has won 27 straight matches heading into the NCAAs with a 29-1 record. He received the #2 seed at 141 pounds, and is ranked second in every major poll.

He won his second straight ACC title, taking out NCAA #6 seed DiCamillo of Virginia in thefinals10-4.Hewasnamedthe2017ACCChampionshipMostOutstandingWrestler,going 2-0 and outscoring his opponents 27-8 en route to the title.

SpenowasanNCAAQualifierasbothafreshman(133)andasophomore (141). In 2014, he went 2-2 and was ranked in the preseason going into his junior season. He was well on his way to a third straight NCAA tripin 2015, but came down with mono and missed the last two months of the season.

The coaches decided to redshirt Speno last season so he could make the move up to 149 pounds. He went 19-5 overall to set up his senior season.

The move has paid off, as Speno enters the NCAAs with a 22-8 record, including going 9-1 in duals this season. He is ranked between #10-18 in every major poll, and received the #12 seed, thefirsttimehehasbeenseededenteringtheNCAAs.

Junior Season Redshirts Lead to Pair of NCAA BidsNC State has had the luxury of being able to redshirt a few up-perclassmen over recent years. The results have paid off, as three veterans redshirted last year, and all three made the NCAA Cham-pionships this season.

Pair of Redshirt-Sophomores Return with National SeedsTwo familiar faces return to the NCAA Championships for NC State, as redshirt-sophomores Sean Fausz (125) and Jamal Morris (133) will both be making their second straight trips. Their improvement has been huge for NC State, as last year they were both unseeded but each won at least one match, and this year they both earned national seeds - Fausz #12 and Morris #15.

Fausz started the season at 133 pounds, but moved down to 125 on Jan. 23. Since the move, Fausz is 8-2 with both losses coming to NCAA #2 seed Dance of Virginia Tech. Fausz is 25-6 overall thisyear,andmadetheACCfinalsforthesecondstraightyear,this year defeating NCAA #10 seed Mueller of UVA in the semis.
