NEW YORK CITY
In the middle of Times Square, around colorful flashing billboards, two Penn State wrestlers once again showed the world just how dominant they can be.
In the annual Beat the Streets event, where the U.S. took on Japan outdoors Wednesday at 47th Street and 7th Avenue, current Penn State wrestler Zain Retherford and former Nittany Lion great David Taylor both came away with victories. Retherford earned an 8-2 decision over Japan’s Daichi Takatani in the 65-kg bout, and Taylor pinned Takahiro Yamamoto in 1:19 at 86 kg.
Both officially represented the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club.
