COLUMBIA, Mo. — It’s crunch time on the mats.
Missouri wrestling is competing at the NCAA Championships in Kansas City this weekend, looking to close out a challenging campaign in a style representative of the powerhouse program: with a whole bunch of qualifiers.
Ten MU wrestlers qualified for the event, making Mizzou one of eight schools in the country to have all of its starters make it to the national championships.
There are 33 wrestlers in each weight class, and the double-elimination tournament structure mean competitors can battle back to third place even after a defeat.
