Penn State’s dominance was on display Saturday at the Big Ten Wrestling Championships, as they sent six wrestlers onto Sunday’s finals and lead second-place Ohio State in the team scoring by 18.5 points.
This is the most finalists Penn State has had since the last time they won Big Tens, in 2016 — Jason Nolf and Bo Nickal’s freshman year. Penn State finished with 150.5 team points that year, and already have 131 this year, with two sessions left to wrestle.
For the Nittany Lions, who historically under-perform in the conference tournament and over-perform at NCAAs, Saturday’s results appear to be a good sign.
