Penn State Wrestling

The effort at the 2023 CISM World Military Championships opened with a valiant gold medal effort from Staff Sergeant Morgan McIntosh of the @usarmywcap.

Love to see Morgan competing.

Author Brendan Wagner, a JR majoring in print & media journalism, posted 525 words on 5 dynasties.

Five champs, 12 placers out of 17 wrestlers with six AAs staying home to instead compete in the NCWA All-Star Classic Tuesday (exhibition). Robbie Howard may have been passed as starter at 125 as Braeden David (FR) took home 1st, beating Berginc and Tristan Lugan (Robbie lost to both, including a Med FFT, on his way to 4th).

Congrats to Mason Gibson! Today he officially signed his letter of intent to Penn State University. #BuiltDifferent #KeepScoringPoints @mason_gibson1 pic.twitter.com/3f9axaDf2i

Looking forward seeing him wrestle--and to add to that McCourt #pipeline

I’ve been working with Coach Cal and @treigning_lab lab to build this engine since 2015. Flew out here to California to test my V02 Max, Resting Metabolic Rate, & Functional Threshold Power to dial everything in & be at my best in Paris pic.twitter.com/F6K2JY7EYB

Coach Cal has helped a ton of our guys—but DT’s growth into 86kg is the stuff of legends.

Once again.....we need to be doing this.

24 teams. Every conference represented. No conference matchups in the first round. Only one possible in the second round. pic.twitter.com/5FroCEMJnJ

What do you think of this bracket? Of the value of any event in a tourney of dual meets?

Me and @coachmjr are soliciting entries for walk out songs banned from meets and tournaments. We will forward the final list to our contact on the NCAA rules committee. We welcome your suggestions in the comments below.

Tsabolov & Coach Mike discuss walkout songs that should not be allowed.

NCAA has approved increasing the value for a takedown from two to three. Other key rule changes include: - Addition of a three-point near fall (NF may now be 2, 3, or 4) - Top wrestlers must actively be looking for a turn - Hand-touch takedowns have been eliminated - Expansion of the five-second count to any situation where the top wrestler grabs the ankle - Officials may now overturn any missed call in the sequence during a video review instead of a single move - Untimely challenges now just result in the loss of the challenge instead of being assessed a penalty point for loss of mat control - The first medical forfeit will count as a loss unless immediately following and injury default - Restriction on facial hair length has been eliminated

Lycoming County is wreally turning out some division I wrestlers these days. Weiss' teammate is going to wrestle for Wrutgers. The Harer kids from Montgomery is going to Wrutgers, too. One of the Johnson boys from Muncy is going to wrestle for Clarion. And this is just off the top of my noggin.
