BUCKNELL’S NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY

• Since the Bucknell wrestling program was reinstated ahead of the 2006-07 season thanks in large part to a generous donation from Bill Graham ’62, 17 different wrestlers have combined to earn 39 NCAA berths and four All-America certificates.

• Tyler Smith (141) became the fourth Bison since the program was revived to qualify for the NCAA Championships during all four years of his collegiate career. David Marble (133, 2007-10), Andy Rendos (165, 2007-10) and Joe Stolfi (285, 2013-16) previously accomplished the feat.

• Overall, Smith is the fifth Bison to qualify for four NCAA Championships. Bobby Ferraro qualified at 190 pounds in 1992 and at 177 pounds in 1993, 1994 and 1995.

• Smith, the No. 12 seed, will attempt to become Bucknell’s sixth All-American. Tom Marchetti (167, 4th in 1989), Bryan Burns (190, 8th in 1991), Ferraro (177, 7th in 1995; 8th in 1994), Rendos (165, 5th in 2009; 6th in 2010) and current assistant coach Kevin LeValley (149, 7th in 2010 & 2011) previously earned a spot on the NCAA podium.

• This is the first time since the wrestling program was reinstated that only one Bison qualified for the NCAA Championships. Drew Phipps (184) is an alternate and may compete in Cleveland. If he did, he would be making his NCAA Championships debut.

SMITH AT THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

• Tyler Smith is set to make his fourth appearance at the NCAA Championships. He is 4-6 all-time at the event, with one pin and one win in the sudden victory period.

• Last season, Smith narrowly missed earning All-American status. In the blood round, he fell to Princeton’s Matthew Kolodzik, the EIWA champion and No. 4 seed. Kolodzik ultimately finished seventh.

• On Feb. 4 at American, Tyler Smith edged Jack Mutchnik by a 4-0 decision to become the 10th Bison to reach the 100-victory plateau.

• Smith is 105-35 in his collegiate career, giving him a winning percentage of .750 that stands ninth in school history. With one win at the NCAA Championships, he’ll enter a tie for ninth with Tom Marchetti (1987-91) in career victories; with three, he’ll climb into a tie for seventh with Shane Riccio (2006-10) and Victor Lopez (2013-17).

CHALLENGING SCHEDULE

• Four of Bucknell’s 2017-18 opponents were ranked at the time of their meeting: No. 1 Penn State, No. 10 Lehigh, No. 20 Lock Haven and No. 25 Edinboro.

• Three of those four teams were ranked in the regular season’s final USA Today/NWCA Poll: No. 1 Penn State, No. 8 Lehigh and No. 23 Lock Haven. In addition, Edinboro and American received votes.

STARTING LINEUPS

• Twenty two different Bison started in dual competition in 2017-18, five more than a season ago.

• Only Tyler Smith (141) and Drew Phipps (184/197) started all but one dual. Nick Stephani (174) missed just two starts over the course of the campaign.
