No superfluous pictures of Dan Gable and Mark Ironside festooned about the place - check

Everything seems to check out

Just a piece in the world domination puzzle.

Truly amazing what has happened around wrestling since the staff came to town

The other thing to really note is the number of schoolboy wrestling tournaments beginning to come to town.... I have it on good authority that there could be as many as 5 pretty significant tournaments looking to come to HV this year and in the future. The area now has facilities outside of PSU to accommodate and it sounds like interest is very high. Why not? That will only elevate further exposure to youngsters as they develop. Who wouldn’t want to compete in a tournament at wrestling’s current Olympus and the chance to bump into a NLWC member.

The game has changed

I really like the idea of youth wrestling and organizations like M2, YG (the PA one), 4M and others. Pennsylvania will benefit from this home-grown talent that starts at the youth level. Doubtful many states have this level of infrastructure.

It's possible, even likely, that the success at Penn State has contributed to the success of these organizations.
