PITTSBURGH—The University of Pittsburgh wrestling team begins its 2021 postseason on Sunday with this season's ACC Championship, which will be hosted by NC State at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, N.C.
The Panthers, ranked No. 16 by the NWCA Coaches Poll at the conclusion of the regular season, have a lineup that could be well suited to tournament wrestling over the next few weeks.
Pitt's Micky Phillippi (133 pounds), Jake Wentzel (165 pounds) and Nino Bonaccorsi (197 pounds) each received ACC No. 1 seeds after voting by the league's coaches was taken into consideration.
This marks the second straight year and the fourth time overall that the Panthers produced three top seeds in wrestling since joining the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2013-14.
The NCAA has allocated the ACC 33 automatic bids to the 2021 NCAA Championships that will be handed out on Sunday. The top three finishers in each weight class will qualify for nationals, while the top four wrestlers at 133, 157 and 285 pounds will advance to the NCAA event in St. Louis in March.
Colton Camacho (125 pounds) garnered the No. 3 seed in the ACC, while Cole Matthews (141 pounds) will be seeded at No. 4 in his weight class with eyes on qualifying for nationals.
Pitt's No. 5 seeds at their respective weights are Jared McGill (174 pounds), Gregg Harvey (184 pounds) and Austin Cooley (heavyweight), while freshman Mick Burnett (149 pounds) is set for his collegiate postseason debut at the No. 6 seed.
Here is a full listing of Pitt's wrestlers set to compete on Sunday at the ACC Championship:
