In today’s media availability via Zoom, Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson spoke about wrestling this impending Big Ten season during a raging global pandemic.
Coach Cael on Covid Protocols:
The kids wear masks, coming in & out of practice. When we wrestle, we don’t wear masks. When we’re in the weight room, the kids wear masks. We’re testing 6x a week.
The NCAA has allowed “extra matches” this season, after a dual meet is completely competed. These matches do not count for the dual meet but do count toward the 4-match minimum required to qualify for the postseason, as well as for postseason seeding.
