After the opening day of the NCAA Championships at Rocket Arena in Downtown Cleveland, NC State has six of its seven wrestlers still alive for podium finishes going into Friday’s second day of competition.  The Wolfpack has a pair of wrestlers in the quarterfinal round, while five others are looking to work their way through the consolation brackets to earn All-America honors in the process.  Let’s take a look at the six Wolfpack wrestlers that are still fighting in the brackets and how they may fare the rest of the way in the NCAA Tournament.
