All 33 wrestlers in each weight class will now be seeded at NCAAs
The Division I Competition Oversight Committee approved the proposal during its in-person meeting last week in Indianapolis.
Seeds 29-33 may be assigned randomly to the brackets but will always be paired with the top four seeds and assigned to all pigtail matches. The Division I Wrestling Committee believes the weighted selection criteria provide a clear and consistent quantitative process, enabling the committee to effectively seed the entire bracket. The modification also will produce more balanced brackets and removes random matchups.
Patacsil named Mount Olive head wrestling coach
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. — Jake Patacsil has been named the inaugural head men’s wrestling coach, it was announced by Vice President for Athletics Jeff Eisen.
Jake Patacsil
“Jake has an outstanding wrestling and coaching background, and we are excited to have him become our first head men’s wrestling coach. His experience, energy, and enthusiasm make him the ideal coach for starting a new program,” said Eisen.
“I am honored to be given the responsibility of leading and developing Mount Olive’s first wrestling team. I look forward to bringing in student-athletes in that will set a great example for the future of the program and will look to achieve their goals in college and beyond. I want to thank President Dr. David Poole, Director of Athletics Jeff Eisen, and the rest of the search committee for giving me this opportunity. I am thrilled to be joining the University of Mount Olive’s community and it’s athletic program,” said Patacsil.
Patacsil comes to Mount Olive after spending the last four years as an assistant coach at Division I Hofstra University. During his time at Hofstra, Patacsil helped coach two two-time NCAA National Qualifiers and one All-American. His responsibilities at Hofstra included recruiting, working with the team on top and bottom positions, and running practices. He helped the wrestling team win the Pride Cup (given to the most social/academically/athletically successful team) three years in a row.
Prior to his time at Hofstra, Patacsil was an assistant at Duke University from 2013-14 where he assisted in recruiting top-level talent, assisted in planning and running practices, and worked heavily with the Blue Devils NCAA All-American Connor Hartman.
