TIM WEIGHT/For the Express Lock Haven’s Wyatt Henson wrestles during a dual match against Bucknell last season.

Three Lock Haven men’s wrestlers are featured in the first coaches’ ranking for the 2026 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, the organization announced on Thursday. Wyatt Henson emerged at No. 20 at 141 pounds, Lucas Kapusta at No. 23 at 149 pounds and Gable Strickland at No. 33 at 133 pounds.

The coaches’ rankings are determined by a vote of three coaches in each weight class. For ranking purposes, coaches may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a starter at a respective weight class. Wrestlers must have eight Division I matches in the weight class to be considered with at least one within the last 30 days.

The coaches’ ranking is one of several criteria that will be evaluated by the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee during the at-large selection and seeding process along with head-to-head competition, quality wins, Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), conference tournament placement, results versus common opponents and win percentage.
