Princeton's NCAA champion Patrick Glory (photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com)The NCAA Tournament is the event we use to generate most of our important statistics and facts as watchers of college wrestling. With the tournament having wrapped up from Tulsa, there are ten 2023 national champions and 80 All-Americans, but how many of those went undefeated or AA'ed for the second, third, or even fourth time?
We'll answer those questions and more below.
FYI, for the All-American milestones, the terminology NCAA All-American was used so that we capture the wrestlers that earned spots on the podium at the national tournament and didn't factor in the All-American labels from the 2020 season without a tournament. In some instances, you may see these wrestlers listed as having one more All-American honor than we've mentioned below.
