2019 National Collegiate Open Recap
The following are the National Collegiate Open placements for the 2019 tournament. The NCO acts as a great end-of-season competition for those wrestlers who are redshirting or not in the starting lineup, and often a great chance to get a sneak peak at those who may have break out years in the future. Still, for all involved, congratulations to everyone who competed at this year's NCO. NC State, Stanford, and Minnesota all secured two champions, and Donnie Vinson, the assistant coach for North Carolina State University, was named the event's coach of the year.
