The short and strange 2021 wrestling season comes to an end this weekend as teams all across the country converge on St. Louis for the NCAA championships. The tournament itself will be mostly similar to years past - 33 man brackets competed over three days. The only on the mat change you’ll see is that the lightweights and heavyweights will compete separately for the first few sessions (yeah, I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mitigate either) with 125-157 running all the way through their matches, clearing the arena, and 165-285 running after. The Cyclones themselves have eight wrestlers in the field with seeds ranging from #3 all the way up to #33.
