2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships

Welcome to Championship Weekend, Hokie Fans.

Eight Nine Hokies have qualified for the 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.

Starting off, in the 125 lb bracket, Virginia Tech sends out Eddie Ventresca (#3) take on Gylon Sims of The Citadel in bout 19

In the 133 lb bracket, Connor McGonagle (#6) will be tested by Army's Ethan Berginc in bout 38

Sam Latona (#12) represents the Hokies in the 141 lb bracket, where he will face Dylan Chappell of Bucknell in bout 48

Defending champion and top seed Caleb Henson receives an automatic bye to the second round.

Rafael Hipolito (#4) will start his run in the 157 lb bracket against Harvard's James Harrington in bout 82

In the 165 lb bracket, Mac Church (#28) starts off in bout 95 against #5 Julian Ramirez of Cornell

In bout 109, Lennox Wolak (#24) will take on Carson Kharchla of Ohio State in the 174 lb bracket

The Hokies do not have a competitor in the 184 lb bracket, as TJ Stewart failed to qualify, though the finals should be the best match of the entire tournament with the likely bout being 4-time champ Carter Starocci and undefeated Parker Keckeisen.

Andy Smith (#19) will begin in bout 148, in the 197 lb bracket, taking on Zach Glazier of SDSU.

Rounding out the Round 1 competitors, in the 285 lb bracket, Virginia Tech will watch Jimmy Mullen (#11) take on Brady Colbert of Army in bout 165.

As a team, I saw somewhere that the Hokies were predicted to finish 5th, with 60 points, though a few upsets and bonus points could easily see the Hokies as high as 2nd, based on predicted final scores.

Prelims begin at Noon.
