Five Terrapins will be competing this weekend: Geoffrey Alexander(133), Josh Asper (174), Christian Boley (197), Frank Goodwin (141) and Jimmy Sheptock (184).
Asper enters the tournament as the highest seeded Terp. The senior is seeded fifth at 174 pounds and is looking to become just the second Maryland wrestler all-time to earn All-American honors in three seasons. Hudson Taylor is the only three-time All-American in Maryland history winning the title in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Asper has finished sixth at 165 pounds the last two years. The Parkton, Md., native faces Kent State’s Sam Wheeler in the opening round. Should Asper advance, he will take on the winner of the match between Navy’s Matt Miller and John-Martin Cannon of Buffalo.
