If you haven't already, get Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training 3rd Edition.
Have you considered cutting down on running and just focusing on a few months of running the Starting Strength Linear Progression? I think a major lesson is that the most efficient exercises for gaining strength are the squat, press, bench press and deadlift. Focus on these, and the other exercises aren't necessary. Running will inhibit your recovery and slow your strength gains. As a D-1 wrestler, I imagine you have the DNA to see great results by focusing on strength.
Good luck!
