We got a lot of exciting wrestling action this past weekend in Las Vegas, at the US Open. Let’s take a look at how our Nittany Lions fared, in both the Junior and Senior divisions.
Juniors
57kg - Gavin Teasdale - our newest Nittany Lion tech falled his way to the semifinals, which included an impressive 10-0 destruction of Michigan State’s RayVon Foley (who placed 7th at B1Gs last March). In the semis, rocking a Team Japan singlet, Gavin exploded to a comfortable 4-0 lead on Arizona State’s (and freestyle veteran) Brandon Courtney. But Courtney used a late counter-takedown and gut wrench to sneak out a 6-5 win.
