NORFOLK, Va. – The NCAA released the second of three coaches' panel rankings for the 2012-13 wrestling season. The third set of rankings will be one of the tools used during the selection process to pick the qualifiers for the 2013 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, starting on March 21.
The Old Dominion University wrestling team has seven wrestlers ranked in the first coaches' panel rankings.
Wrestlers are measured by winning percentage, rating percentage index (RPI) and coaches' rankings. The coaches' rankings are compiled by votes from coaches representing each qualifying tournament. In regards to these rankings, coaches may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a 'starter' at their weight class.
'Eligible' wrestlers for the Coaches’ Panel Rakings must have participated in at least five matches against Division I opponents and have wrestled within the last 30 days.
To be eligible for the RPI ranking, a wrestler must have a minimum of 17 Division I matches at a given weight class.
ODU Wrestlers in the second (of 3) 2013 NCAA Division I Coaches' Rankings/RPI:
125: Jerome Robinson: (No. 14) - RPI: 7
