I know nothing about Northwestern’s team this year, so I wouldn’t read too much into this. Penn State rolled 51-0 with two falls, a forfeit, two majors, and five tech falls.

174: #1 Levi Haines PSU tech fall #32 Eddie Enright NU, 19-4 (TF; 6:48) 5-0

184: #4 Rocco Welsh PSU tech fall J.D. Perez NU, 22-7 (TF; 5:27) 10-0

197: #1 Josh Barr PSU pinned Alex Smith NU, WBF (1:50) 16-0

285: #13 Cole Mirasola PSU tech fall Gabe Christenson NU, 19-4 (TF; 2:47) 21-0

125: #2 Luke Lilledahl PSU tech fall #26 Dedrick Navarro NU, 20-5 (TF; 7:00) 26-0

133: #4 Marcus Blaze PSU maj. dec. #24 Sean Spidle NU, 15-4 30-0

141: #7 Braeden Davis PSU maj. dec. #32 Billy Dekraker NU, 9-0 34-0

149: #1 Shayne Van Ness PSU tech fall August Hibler, 18-3 (TF; 7:00) 39-0

157: #3 PJ Duke PSU pinned Gunnr Myers NU, WBF (2:42) 45-0

165: #1 Mitchell Mesenbrink PSU win by forfeit 51-0

There aren’t many surprises here. I’m not sure which ranking system they are using either.

Here are the results of the match with Iowa from Friday too. Penn State gave up two takedowns total.

125: #2 Luke Lilledahl PSU dec. #6 Dean Peterson IA, 11-5 3-0

133: #4 Marcus Blaze PSU dec. #8 Drake Ayala IA, 4-2 6-0

141: #11 Nassir Bailey IA dec. #7 Braeden Davis PSU, 3-2 6-3

149: #1 Shayne Van Ness PSU maj. dec. #17 Ryder Block IA, 13-4 10-3

157: #3 PJ Duke PSU dec. #12 Jordan Williams IA, 4-2 13-3

165: #1 Mitchell Mesenbrink PSU maj. dec. #3 Michael Caliendo IA, 11-2 17-3

174: #1 Levi Haines PSU dec. Gabe Arnold IA, 4-2 20-3

184: #4 Rocco Welsh PSU dec. #1 Angelo Ferrari IA, 2-1 (TB) 23-3

197: #1 Josh Barr PSU pinned Brody Sampson IA, WBF (3:42) 29-3

285: #13 Cole Mirasola PSU dec. #5 Ben Kueter IA, 4-3 32-3

I took the results from Penn State’s team website.

BTN at 7. I'll be tuning in for sure. The other watch is hoops vs the cheaters up north which might not be so great. :ohbrother:

Definitely different trajectory this year. Wrestlers deserve the attention and showcase this week.

Question for wrestlers and wrestling dads.
I have a very young little boy that I think would enjoy the sport. He's six and has never really show much enthusiasm towards basketball or soccer but I think he might like wrestling and he certainly has the build for it.

I've started the process of looking into several "youth" teams for him to try out for. Keeping in mind, he has ZERO exposure to the rules, conditioning, fitness...etc
How young is too young for something like this? Are there places to get him introduced to the sport before he looks into one of these teams.


FWIW - my only exposure to something similar is youth swimming where they very much have a "we take kids of all levels" approach.

I’d ask your local high school or middle school coaches if there are any youth organizations in your area. They may even hold an open house to gauge interest with young kids in the community or school district. I grew up in Cleveland and the YMCA in Westlake was the premier destination for youth wrestling. It started young too, as in kindergarten young. Sometimes there will be youth camps that occur on the weekends during the off season. A lot of times wrestlers will hold a daily or weekend camp at a middle or high school too.

Thank you - I will do so.
This is not a sport I participated in so I'm not going to be much help for him. I'm just looking for someone who can teach him the basics and also help him to protect himself, move safely...etc

I was on a wrestling mat since I was 5 and up until then me and my older brother beat the crap out of each other wrestling in the living room, mom always heard crashing and started yelling at us. But a lot of local youth teams will let your kid come early to watch, learn and sometimes participate with kids close to their size. If he just wants to do that for awhile and not attend meets, do that until he wants to. Or, if he was like me and wants trial by fire, let him compete and just remind him if a kid is more experienced or bigger, he is still early on. Key is don't let them get too discouraged and try to gently teach through the mistakes at first.

My experience is kids can be a sponge at a young age if it's for them. That said, stick to absolute basics and doing them well. Single and double legs on your feet (emphasize level change drills early) with a couple simple set ups like inside collar ties, wrist ties and head position. At Graham we would call out the setup/tie, move and takedown so we could do it on demand, the more advanced kids usually could pick it up early on after repetition.

If you keep any sort of pulse on it and talk to the coaches, you'll get it as you go. Who knows, maybe you'll get roped into coaching and that's when the real fun starts haha. But you'll pick up the sport quicker than you think, my dad was the same way and now he is an avid fan that watches all the college meets and knows what he's talking about despite never having wrestled himself.

If you’re located in Georgia, wrestling has exploded down there…..I see their clubs throughout the Southeast as my son competes.

I’d look up local clubs in your area, and give them a call. Let them know your sons age and experience level and I’m sure they’ll have a “beginners” class for his age and size.

I was also not a “wrestling” kid, but kind of fell into it with my son who competes at a regional level now. The one thing I’ll say, is the wrestling community in general, is absolutely incredible. I’ve met the nicest and best people just through being a “wrestling dad” now.

It’s well worth it just for the culture around the sport.
