Kyle Conel will make a return to the NCAA Championship after a year off. Casey Sparkman earned his spot with an allocation before the Mid-American Conference Tournament. Anthony Tutolo had an automatic bid. And Stephen Suglio will be wrestling in his first national tournament as a fifth-year senior year.
The four wrestlers will lead Kent State into the NCAA Championships at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland this weekend.
Conel wrestled at 197 pounds at the MAC Tournament and won true second, meaning he beat out the second-place competitor at the tournament for a spot at the championship.
