ROANOKE, Va. – Senior 125-pounder Terry Adams wrapped up a historic collegiate career for the Ursinus College men's wrestling team after competing at the 2023 NCAA National Championships on Friday.
 


Unfortunately, Adams went 0-2 on the day and ends his career with a record of 78-29 record. The Staten Island, New York native won the Mideast Regional and Centennial Conference Championship this season at 125lbs. It marks the third time he's placed at regionals as he finished third in 2022 and earned a fifth-place finish in the 2019-2020 season. Adams is a two-time National qualifier, a three-time finalist at the CC Championships, and won the conference's Chris Clifford Award this year.
 


He opened with the No.4 ranked wrestler Christian Guzman of North Central College and fell via a fall at the 2:14-mark of the first period. After a takedown in the opening seconds of the match, Adams recorded an escape with 2:36 remaining in the first period. Locked into a scramble on the edge of the mat, Guzman collected a near side cradle before readjusting for the pinfall. In the consolations, he fell to Delaware Valley's Jacob Blair via a 3-2 decision.


"Obviously, Terry did not get what he wanted out of his final NCAA tournament", Director of Wrestling Joe Jamison said. "But, it's the best of the best and qualifying for the tournament is an accomplishment in itself. He had an outstanding career and we are forever indebted to him for his dedication and leadership. His freshman year was also my first year at Ursinus and he put the program on his back from day one. He is an incredible competitor and set the tone for the future of this program."


 
The Bears wrap up their 2022-23 season and will look to build off the team's first Centennial Conference Championship since the 2014 season.
