17 New York natives alongside 14 wrestlers representing New York schools have punched their tickets to the 2026 NCAA Championships in Cleveland. The NCAA Championships will be held March 19-21 at Rocket Arena.
Although there are already 28 wrestlers who will be affiliated with the Empire State in attendance, there are a handful of wrestlers who were ranked that did not qualify. Those wrestlers are currently sitting on the sidelines and will need an at-large bid to get them to the tournament. Those at-large spots will be announced on Tuesday, March 10th.
The brackets for the NCAA tournament will be released at 8:00pm ET on Wednesday, March 11th.
