Rutgers Wrestling hosted it’s media day today and we were able to gather (and confirm) a ton of information heading into this year’s campaign. Coach Goodale spoke for roughly 25 minutes, and the full press conference video can be found below. Here are five takeaways from Coach Goodale’s presser.
Rivera/Alvarez Weight Class
Coach Goodale confirmed that Sammy Alvarez and Sebastian Rivera will be staying at their respective weight classes from last season (133/141lbs). Goodale indicated this was mainly Rivera’s decision after Rivera wrestled at 65kgs (143lbs) all off-season and is “plenty strong” for the 141lbs weight class.
