2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships
STAT NOTES
SEEDINGS: Six number-one seeds made it to the finals and all won. Seven
unseeded wrestlers became All Americans (AA). Nineteen of the 80 AA’s placed
exactly as seeded, including the top three at 125 and 133. In an odd occurrence,
the top eight seeds at 174 all placed, but only the Champion, Jonathan Reader,
placed exactly as seeded (1,7,2,3,4,5,8,6).
UNDEFEATED: Fifteen competitors entered the tournament with unbeaten
records. Five of them completed the season as undefeated NCAA Champions:
125/Anthony Robles, Arizona State, 36-0
133/Jordan Oliver, Oklahoma State, 29-0
141/Kellen Russell, Michigan, 38-0
165/Jordan Burroughs, Nebraska, 36-0
174/Jonathan Reader, Iowa State, 39-0
TEAM RACE: An exciting team race, between Cornell, Iowa and Penn State,
was enjoyed by most fans this year. The Nittany Lions cemented the title
Saturday morning during the All American matches, while Cornell locked up
second place during the finals. It was Penn State's second title and the first by
an Eastern team since Penn State's initial title in 1953. In addition, it was the first
time in the 81 year history of the tournament that two Eastern teams claimed the
top two places.
STAT FACTS:
• Five former champs entered the tournament – just two repeated:
149/Kyle Dake, Cornell and 165/Jordan Burroughs, Nebraska.
• There were 53 returning AA's entered, 41 became AA's again.
• Two of the 50 At-Large Selections gained All American status:
165/Brandon Hatchett, Lehigh-7th and 285/Ricky Alcala, Indiana-5th
• Two of the All Americans won their first three matches, to advance to the

• Fifty of the 330 competitors entered the tournament with 30 or more wins.
Only 22 of those became All Americans.
• Average record of the Champions: 32-1. Average of all 80 AA's: 30-5.
• A rare result occurred at the 184 weight class. All eight AA's are
underclassmen: four sophomores (the top four placers), three juniors and
one freshman. Additionally, the 285 weight class had only one senior AA.
PINS AND OT'S
Last year I observed what appears to be a trend towards more parity in the
competition at the Division I tournament. As the table below shows, there has
been a trend in recent years of a more even ratio between pins and overtime
matches. In fact, this year marks the first time that there were more OT matches
than pins in the tournament since 2000 (I only counted back to that year).
Year 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11
Pins 67 74 80 84 80 86 71 99 109 66 59 55
OT’s 53 43 47 40 48 39 32 50 55 42 56 63
NEXT YEAR: 50 AA's (from this tournament) will be back next season. Placers
by class: 6 freshmen, 18 sophomores, 26 juniors, and 30 seniors. Thirteen
schools return two or more AA's next season: Penn State, 5; Iowa and
Minnesota 4 each; Central Michigan, Cornell, Lehigh and Wisconsin, 3 each;
American, Maryland, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Stanford and Wyoming,
2 each.
