Of those seven, Austin Hughey is a returning national qualifier at 157 lbs. while Zachary Schridde (133lbs.), Andrew Beck (141 lbs.), Daniel Melcher (149 lbs.), Dylan Beckner (165 lbs.), Travis Quarterman (174 lbs.) and Micah Felton (184 lbs.) each earned their first shot at becoming an All-American.
