One of NC State Athletics’ crown jewels is Pat Popolizio. What he has done with the wrestling program since his inauguration in April of 2012 is nothing short of outstanding. The Pack finished in 44th place at the 2012 NCAA Wrestling Championships. Since then, PackWrestle has had six Top 20 performances at “March Matness”, including a team trophy (top 4 finish) in 2018 — only the second ever occasion for an ACC school. This span of success for “The Skip” includes three individual National Champions, 12 All-American finishes, and two ACC team titles. The credentials and historic achievements go on and on with this guy; he truly has turned the program into one of the most feared non-Big Ten teams in the country.
