  • Virginia Tech is one of seven teams competing at the Scuffle that finished in the top 25 last season at the NCAA Championships along with Penn State, NC State, Oklahoma State, Lehigh, Lock Haven and Duke.
  • The Hokies will also have wrestlers competing at the David Lehman F&M Open on Jan. 5. TrackWrestling will have all of the coverage.
