Maryland earns 6 entrants into NCAA D-1 Wrestling Championships

After a disappointing ACC Championships, which saw the regular-season champion Terps finish second, the wrestling team had six members earn entry into the NCAA Championships. Full brackets can be found here.

Entries can be earned through achievement during the season, much like the D-1 basketball tournament, with automatic entries for conference champions, and in the ACC's case, finalists. The system isn't quite as straight-forward as the basketball committee's selections, but it's becoming a more transparent process.

Wrestling starts Thursday morning in Omaha, NE. The Terps trying to earn a championships, or at least All-American honors for a top eight placement, are the following:

Hudson Taylor has to be considered a legitimate threat for a NCAA championship. He leads Division I in pins and is ending a career as one of the most-highly decorated Terps wrestlers in the program's history. And keep track of Josh Asper - the Maryland public high schools product is beginning a career that may prove to be the equal of Taylor's.
