Pitt's wrestling team has gone somewhat under the radar this year, staying mostly out of the Top 25 discussion. The year looked to be a rebuild of sorts with the team losing stars Max Thomusseit and national runner-up Tyler Wilps last year. However, this weekend the Panthers proved they shouldn't be taken lightly.
Pitt defeated both Edinboro and, more importantly, No. 15 Wisconsin in home duals this weekend. That was enough to earn the Panthers a spot back in college wrestling's Top 25. Pitt went from unranked (27th) all the way up to No.
