Nobody got the ending they wanted from the 2019-20 season. Covid-19 canceled the NCAA Championship Tournament, truncating a superb season before it could be properly concluded. But that doesn't mean we can't honor the extraordinary efforts the student-athletes put forth on the mat.

Lehigh Mountain Hawks

The Mountain Hawkes capped off another stellar season by winning their third-straight EIWA title in March. Lehigh boasted three conference champs and three wrestlers seeded in the top 8 of the 2020 NCAAs, ultimately qualifying nine. Two-time All-American Jordan Kutler led the way with the best seed at #3.

Ohio State Buckeyes

The Buckeyes took what could have been considered a rebuilding year and instead put together one of the most impressive lineups in the NCAAs. Seniors Kollin Moore and Luke Pletcher led the way, both of them winning titles at the Michigan State Open, the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, and the Big Ten Champions. Eight Buckeyes qualified for the NCAA Championship with Pletcher and Moore earning #1 seeds.

Oklahoma State Cowboys

A somewhat bumpy season was smoothed over when the Cowboys won their eighth-straight Big 12 Conference championship, outpacing their nearest rival, Iowa State, by over 30 points. Nick Piccininni, Boo Lewallen, and Travis Wittlake all won titles. Piccinini was the highest-seeded of nine Cowboys to qualify for Nationals with the #3 seed. 

Iowa Hawkeyes

The Hawkeyes won everything just about everything this year, save for the sadly canceled NCAA Championship. They demolished the field at Midlands, winning by over 95 points, and thumped nearly every team they faced in a dual meet. Penn State gave them their toughest contest, one which saw the Hawkeyes ultimately prevail by the score of 19-17. The Big Ten Championships brought another Iowa victory, this time by over 25 points.

Iowa qualified all ten Big Ten starters for the NCAA championships, all of whom were, astonishingly, ranked in the top 10 at the end of the season, which was also the case for nearly the entire season. Three Hawkeyes -- Spencer Lee, Pat Lugo, and Alex Marinelli -- received #1 seeds, and no one received a seed lower than 11.
