Thursday, March 16, 2017 - Saturday, March 18, 2017 • Scottrade Center • St. Louis, Mo.

QUICK PINS• Pitt is set to participate in the 2017 NCAA Division I

Wrestling Championships beginning Thursday, March 16 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

• Junior Dom Forys (133), redshirt freshman Taleb Rahmani (157), sophomore TeShan Campbell (165) and redshirt junior Ryan Solomon (285) will represent the University of Pittsburgh.

• All championship prime-time matches will be broadcast live on ESPNU/ESPN, while all matches on every mat will be streamed live on ESPN3/WatchESPN.

• Tim Johnson, Anthony Robles, Jim Gibbons, Lee Kemp and Billy Baldwin will serve as ESPN’s analyst’s this week.

• Pitt is sending four wrestlers to the national stage for the first time since 2009.

HOW THEY GOT HERE• All four Panthers earned automatic qualifying spots

out of the ACC Championship March 4 in Raleigh, N.C. in their last time out.

• Forys entered the Championship as the No. 1 seed at 133 pounds and needed just one win to punch his ticket to St. Louis. He did just that as he picked up an 8-4 win over Virginia Tech’s Dennis Gustafson in the semifinals. The Pittsburgh native then faced familiar foe Jamal Morris of NC State where he won in a 5-0 decision en route to his first ACC title.

• Rahmani entered his first conference championship as the No. 3 seed and also just needed one win to secure his spot to NCAAs. The 157-pounder won his first match by major decision before avenging a regular season loss as he recorded a 4-2 win over NC State’s Thomas Bullard. In the finals, Rahmani made a statement by picking up a 13-5 major decision over top-seeded Sal Mastriani of Virginia Tech.

• Campbell’s situation at 165 pounds was nearly identical to Forys: entered as the No. 1 seed and needed to reach the finals to earn an automatic qualification. The Pittsburgh native received a first round bye before cruising to a 12-4 decision over Virginia’s Ray Bethea. In the finals, the sophomore captured his first ACC title after shutting out NC State’s Brian Hamann, 7-0.

• Although placing third at the Championship, Solomon was one of four heavyweights to earn an automatic bid out of the ACC. The Milton, Pa., native, started the day strong by winning by technical fall, 17-1, over Virginia’s Tyler Love, but was unable to hold off Duke’s Jacob Kasper in sudden victory. Solomon worked his way to the podium after defeating NC State’s Mike Kosoy, 2-0, then posted a 5-3 decision over North Carolina’s Cory Daniel.
