    Virginia Tech finishes program-best fourth at NCAAs

    NEW YORK -- The Hokies finished in fourth place at the 2016 NCAA Championship, earning a spot on the team trophy platform for the first time in program history on Sunday. Additionally, the six All-Americans in this year's squad is the new program record for most in a single season. Redshirt senior Nick Brascetta became the second three-time All-American in Virginia Tech history and finished third in his final trip to Nationals. Of the eight Tech grapplers that made the trip to Madison Square Garden this week, seven will return with five of the All-Americans staying on next year's roster. The Hokies fourth place finish at this year's championship is the best finish of an ACC team in the conference's history, topping a fifth place finished by UNC in 1982.

    The Hokies wrap up a season that saw the team win back-to-back ACC dual meet titles, achieve an undefeated 5-0 mark in league compeittion, Ty Walz win the first Cliff Keen Las Vegas championship, a victory over Michigan in the newly revamped National Duals Championship series and a final mark of 16-2.
