Editor’s note: The Centre Daily Times will publish weekly updates based on NWCA coaches team and InterMat individual rankings to give readers a glimpse into how Penn State wrestling fits into the bigger picture.
Even though the past week of Division I wrestling was pretty quiet due to final exams, Penn State saw its most movement with individual wrestlers so far this season after its dominating 41-3 win over Arizona State on Friday.
With his 4-0 victory over reigning national champ Zahid Valencia, of Arizona State, Penn State’s Mark Hall now moves into the top spot at 174 pounds in InterMat’s poll, joining teammates Jason Nolf, Vincenzo Joseph and Bo Nickal at the top of their respective weight classes.
