BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Not all sixth-place finishes are created equal.

That much was clear after the Rutgers wrestling team finished the Big Ten Championships with six automatic qualifiers to the NCAA Championships.

Rutgers' heavyweight Razohnn Gross felt one hand raise short of qualifying for the NCAA Championships. He finished sixth in the Big Ten.

The list includes Big Ten champion Anthony Ashnault (141 points), fifth-place finisher Ken Theobold (149), sixth-place finisher Matt Correnti (197), seventh-place finishers John Van Brill (157) and Scott DelVecchio (133) and ninth-place finisher Nick Gravina (184).
