The 2023 NCAA Wrestling Championships completed action at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., tonight.  With all of the scores in, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga finished tied for 44^th overall with 4.0 team points, some of the best numbers for the Mocs in over a decade.

Chattanooga qualified three individuals, including junior Brayden Palmer (133) and seniors Rocky Jordan (174) and Matthew Waddell (184). The Mocs' team points came from two wins from Palmer and one from Jordan.  Both Jordan and Palmer scored bonus points with one major decision each.

The 4.0 points are the most for UTC since scoring 4.0 at the 2009 tournament.  The tie for 44^th is the best finish in the team standings since placing 37^th in 2008. 

UTC's two bonus-points wins were the first for Chattanooga since Corey Mock scored a 9-1 major decision over Navy's Peyton Walsh in the first round at 165 pounds of the 2014 NCAA Championships.

The Mocs tied Campbell for the top Southern Conference finish at the NCAA Championships.  SoCon Champion Appalachian State was 52rd with 1.0 team point, while Gardner-Webb scored 0.5 and finished 56th.  UTC finished ahead of ACC members Virginia (48th - 2.5) and Duke (56th - 0.5), PAC 12's Cal State Bakersfield (53rd - 0.5) and the Big 12's Wyoming (50th - 2.0).
