LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell's Zach Hartman and Darren Miller made the second NCAA Coaches' Panel Rankings, which are used in the selection process to determine the qualifiers for the 2021 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.
Hartman checked in at eighth in the 165-pound weight class while Miller was slotted 23rd at 133 pounds. Hartman dropped a single spot while Miller's ranking remained unchanged.
Hartman has compiled a 7-0 record in 2020-21, registering two pins and one technical fall. The junior has been ranked in the national top 10 by Intermat and FloWrestling for five-consecutive weeks. A 2020 Honorable Mention All-American and two-time EIWA runner-up, his career record currently stands at 62-17 (30-5 dual).
Miller has gone 5-1 with two technical falls to date. The sophomore's most notable victory came over then No. 11 Tony Madrigal of Oklahoma by a 4-1 decision; it was his first career victory over a nationally ranked opponent and propelled him up the national rankings.
Hartman, Miller and the Bison compete at the EIWA Championships tomorrow. The event begins at 10 a.m. and will be held at the Spooky Nook Sports Complex in Manheim, Pa.
Wrestlers in each weight class are measured by winning percentage, rating percentage index (RPI) and coaches' rankings to earn spots in their qualifying tournaments for the 2021 NCAA Championships, slated for March 18-20 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Mo. The coaches' rankings are determined by a vote of 14 coaches in each weight class with two head coaches from each conference. For ranking purposes, coaches may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a starter at a respective weight class. For the first ranking, wrestlers must have two Division I matches in the weight class to be considered with at least one within the last 30 days.
