BOONE, N.C. — App State Wrestling's challenging schedule, which currently includes three top-10 opponents among four ranked foes, begins Friday night with a Varsity Gym visit from No. 3 NC State.
The dual is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
After finishing last season ranked No. 20 in the NWCA Coaches Poll, the Mountaineers are the top team in the "others receiving votes" category beyond the top 25 of this year's preseason poll despite having a new-look lineup. NC State (1-0) has a ranked wrestler in all 10 weight classes, including six top-10 wrestlers and three returning All-Americans.
