Seven wrestlers claimed a birth to the NJCAA National Tournament which will be held in Des Moines, Iowa Feb. 27-28.  Of those seven, Austin Hughey is a returning national qualifier at 157 lbs. while Zachary Schridde (133lbs.), Andrew Beck (141 lbs.), Daniel Melcher (149 lbs.), Dylan Beckner (165 lbs.), Travis Quarterman (174 lbs.) and Micah Felton (184 lbs.) each earned their first shot at becoming an All-American.

These seven wrestlers also set a new standard by breaking the previous school record of six wrestlers to qualify for the NJCAA National Tournament out of the 10 weight classes.
