Rutgers wrestling has three All-Americans for the first time in program history

On the second night of the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, Missouri on Friday, the Rutgers wrestling program made history with three All-Americans at nationals in the same year. Sebastian Rivera (141 pounds), Jackson Turley (174 pounds) and John Poznanski (184) all clinched top eight finishes in their individual weight classes to complete the impressive feat. It is also the sixth consecutive season that the Scarlet Knights have had multiple All-Americans.

“To get three of our guys on the podium at this tournament is a huge accomplishment for this program,” head coach Scott Goodale said. “All three of those guys wrestled hard today to become All-Americans, but we have more work to do tomorrow morning in our placement matches.
