Summary of Records Tied/Broken This Tournament?

[El-Jefe]

Where are individual scores located? I would like to add up the top scores at every weight and see how it compares to PennState's final total?

Penn State Wrestling Club website, under History / Postseason Results. It's a paywalled membership site, but the fee isn't bad and goes to a good cause. That will have individual scores all in one place.

Or Track, as mentioned above. Note, that only gets you to the top 100 scorers across all weights. (#100 this year scored 3.5 pts, which is more than some R12 guys.) To go deeper, you'll have to filter on each weight.

How about most bonus points?

Did the 48 wins give us the highest winning %? Am assuming not,

According to the data I have, the 34.5 Bonus Points scored this year is the highest ever, and last year's 34 is second highest.

Just to screw up your calculations, by my count, we won 49 bouts.

DOH. You are correct.

So, 49-11 bumps 2025 PSU up to number 3 on the win % list. I will edit above.

Cael Sanderson moves into a tie with Bobby Douglas on the list of coaches with the most All-Americans.



At 10 per year, he still needs 5 years to pass Harold Nichols.

But take note of that last column. Sanderson is still number 1 in the average finish of his AA's.

Wait a minute….. shouldn’t be 49-10. 6 losses by second and third place finishers, 2 by Davis and only 2 to Kerk. One in the semis and a MFF in next match, They no longer count default to sixth place as three bouts. Total of 83.05% second behind PSU 2024.

 

[tpnlion]

Another crazy stat. 6 of our losses were to the champion of that weight class.

Did you just find a loophole?

Something I just noticed going through the brackets, Camden McDanel beat Luke Stout in the round of 16. Mac Stout avenged his brother beating McDanel for 7th.

Not exactly related but close enough.
Levi has lost 4 matches in his career. Three losses were to fellow national champions. His bad loss was his freshman year to now fellow All-American Vinny Zerban.

Damnit Levi! I am kicking your rear. And don't you dare throw me down. The last time it freaking hurt for two weeks.

Kinda like;
Daryl Burley from Lehigh was an all time great that no one talks about. Won National Championship his Freshman and Senior years.
All time record was 94-5-1 . His only blemishes were to National Champs Randy Lewis, Mike Land and Jim Gibbons. He wrestled the one year without much use of his one hand which was injured (broken).

Burley was freaking great. Of course so were Lewis and Gibbons. One of those Lewis matches the score was pretty decisive.

Great stats! Of the top coaches listed Cael averages over three times as many champions per season as Brands, over five times as many as his mentor, Bobby Douglas, and over double Smith. Cael and Gable are in a class all by themselves on this list.

Here's an updated list of the top 15 single-season tournament performances during the Cael Era. Hendrickson was the only one to be added for 2025 in a tie for 15th. I also added a column for Outstanding Wrestler to show that the most dominant tournament runs frequently don't win the OW.

Penn State wrestlers with the top four, seven of the top 10 and 12 of the top 22 isn't too shabby!

Similar record: Biggest NIL check cashed to DNP?

Chris Cannon is way up there in the most $$ per minute wrestled. Even if he was paid a pittance, the denominator is tiny
