Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Iowa could take advantage of Penn State’s injury woes at NCAA Wrestling Championships

ST. LOUIS

Ohio State wrestler Kyle Snyder shared an interesting perspective Wednesday, the afternoon before the start of the NCAA Wrestling Championships.

“It’s going to be a good team race this year,” he said, sharing the stage with wrestlers from the likes of Iowa, Oklahoma State and Penn State. “I think there’s a couple teams that can challenge to win this tournament. I’m excited about that.”

The interesting part? Snyder spoke those words prior to hearing the news that the Nittany Lions’ Nick Suriano (125 pounds) wouldn’t be competing.

Suriano’s injury may have just blown the door wide open for teams like the Buckeyes, Cowboys and Hawkeyes to knock Penn State from its top spot.
