Maryland wrestling hosted the Big Ten championships at XFINITY Center this weekend for the first time, looking to take advantage of its home-mat advantage. After posting their highest team score at a conference championship meet since joining the Big Ten, the Terps finished 10th with 32 points, good for their best-ever finish at the event.
They also scored 32 points at the 2017 championships, but finished 11th.
Top-ranked Penn State dominated the tournament, winning the team title by scoring 170.5 points and compiling five individual champions.
Maryland had four wrestlers land on the podium — the most it’s ever had at a Big Ten championship meet.
