BOSTON - For the first time in four years, Boston University will send three wrestlers to the NCAA Championships, as senior Mike Roberts (149) and sophomore John Hall (197) were both among the 52 at-large berths awarded on Wednesday. Freshman Hunter Meys (174) qualified thanks to his fourth-place finish at last weekend's Colonial Athletic Association Championships.

For the second consecutive year, the NCAA Championships will be held at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo. This year's event will run from March 19-21.

Roberts, who qualified for the 2007 and 2008 national tournaments, is the 15th three-time NCAA qualifier in BU history. Hall and Meys are first-time qualfiers.
