Final 10 Qualifiers Announced
The NCAA has released the names of the last ten qualifiers after applying the formula set ahead of time. The formula is based on past performance of the conference similar to the process that determines the number of wildcards for each conference. It is not an arbitrary selection process but one that depends on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd alternate choices of each conference eligible for an additional spot. The primary goal is to ensure that every weight class has at least 16 competitors, and then after that, the selections are made in rank order. The additional ten qualifiers are as follows:
125 Zach Mueller, Oshkosh
141 Jake Denhof, Elmhurst
141 Sean Giblin, Rhode Island
149 Drew Waggenhoffer, Wartburg
165 Nick Bach, Centenary
165 Collin Crowell, Roger Williams
174 Josh Kohler, Augsburg
174 Dan Schiferl, Oshkosh
184 Greg Rhoads, Wabash
285 Joey Giaramita, Cortland
