For the fourth straight year, the ISU wrestling team will bring its entire starting lineup to the NCAA Wrestling Championships.

Wednesday night’s announcement of the brackets revealed that all 10 of the Cyclones’ weight classes will travel to Omaha, Neb., in search of a national championship.

Seniors Jake Varner (197) and David Zabriskie (HWT) were the only Cyclones to take top seeds. As the defending NCAA champion, Varner held the nation’s top ranking all season while Zabriskie was able to grab the position by defeating Oklahoma State’s top-ranked Jared Rosholt in the Big 12 tournament. Other seeded Cyclones include No. 4 Jon Reader (165), No. 5 Andrew Long (125), No. 7 Mitch Mueller (149) and No. 10 Nick Fanthorpe (133).

The only wrestler waiting to hear his fate on Wednesday was 184-pounder Jerome Ward. Ward grabbed an at-large bid and will face top-seeded Kirk Smith of Boise State. The two met in first-round action of last year’s NCAA championships, Smith escaped with a 3–1 decision.

Dalton Jensen (141), Andrew Sorenson (157) and Duke Burk (174) previously qualified at their respective weight classes during the Big 12 Championships. Jensen is paired with 2009 NCAA runner-up Reece Humphrey from Ohio State.

The NCAA Wrestling Championships will start on March 18 at the Qwest Center.
