"I am really very proud of what the Southern Scuffle has become during its short time in Chattanooga," stated head coach Heath Eslinger. "We have put a lot of work into it and our administration and local wrestling community are committed to making this a premier event each year.
"However, it is the commitment from these top teams from around the country to keep coming back that make it such a great event. The competition is second only to the NCAAs and you are going to again see a lot of high-quality wrestling."
Two national champions and 30 All-Americans are in the 2016 field. All totaled, there are 85 wrestlers who were ranked in their class in the preseason who are schedule to compete.
