For anyone not on Casey’s list, here is his email blast from today.
Penn State Wrestling Fans!!!!!!!!!!
Another college season has come to a close so this will be the annual end of the year wrap up. We have several guys competing in Las Vegas next week in the US Open and a couple guys also competing in the U20 Nationals so most of the guys got right back to work after the NCAA tournament. Before we move on though it is always good to recap the season and seasons past as winning at this level is not easy and it takes an army of people to make it happen. We never want to take for granted what has been accomplished as it is very difficult to consistently win so we will highlight a few of those things before we move onto what is next.
Since the 2010-11 season Penn State has won 10 Team National titles, has had 34 Individual National Champions and 50 NCAA Finalist. Penn State has also had 75 All-Americans and 39 Big Ten Champions during this time. 67% of these 75 All-Americans have been NCAA finalist. This year’s team scored its largest margin of victory in School history with a 55-point spread. For the first time in school history we had 7 guys finish in the top 3 of the NCAA tournament and having 8 All-Americans was a tie for most in school history as well. Obviously as a staff we want all our guys to accomplish their goals and not everybody was able to do that this year so that is what continues to push us to get better. Just like every other year we lose a couple of incredible guys to graduation, but we are excited for them and for their future and look forward to seeing who will step up and take control of those weights going forward. We have a great group of incoming Freshmen and are excited about how our next few recruiting classes are shaping up.
Regarding what’s next as mentioned above we have 12 guys (college and post grad) competing in Vegas next week in either the US Open or the U20 Nationals. The week after the US Open all 5 of our Nittany Lion Wrestling Club wrestlers that medaled in the Worlds last year will be competing in Argentina at the Pan Am Championships. After the Pan Ams we have World Team Trials for all different age groups, camps, and the World Championships so things are just heating up around here as we move into spring and summer. There are only a couple more weeks of school left in the semester so the focus is on finishing strong in the classroom while getting ready for this summer and next year.
Thank you for all the continued support of Penn State Wrestling by showing up consistently at home and on the road as it makes a big difference. We will continue to try to get better each year so that we have an exciting team to watch win or lose on the mat. We hope you have a great summer, and we look forward to what the future holds.
