Wrestling -- No.1 Penn State Wins Keystone Classic in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.; November 18, 2018 – No. 1 Penn State (1-0 0-0 B1G) won the 2018 Keystone Classic, rolling up a lofty 192.0 points and crowning eight champions. This marks the third straight year that Penn State has claimed the crown, wrestled in the University of Pennsylvania's historic Palestra.

The entire Penn State contingent tasted success at the event, with every Nittany Lion collecting at least one victory and 14 of the 18 Penn Staters competing placing.
Penn State crowned eight champions at the event. All-in-all, Penn State had 14 place winners: eight champions, one runner-up, one third, one fourth, one fifth and two sixths. Penn State posted a gaudy 60-16 overall record, including 10 majors, 11 technical falls and 21 pins.

And with no foreign kids - not an issue to date in wresting, but rampant in NCAA mens soccer
This is a wrestling thread. If you have issues with foreign kids playing on American university college teams, by all means feel free to create a thread on the subject instead of coming up with a way-out-of-left-field response the way you did here.
Yeah. It really underscores how well Cael develops talent. For the most part, the foreign players who play NCAA soccer are far more developed due to the club structure in the rest of the world. Cael is dominating a level playing field. It’s an interesting comparison.
What is the logic of in state students paying one tuition rate and out of state students paying a much higher rate?
The downside of having so many talented wrestlers is that it can be tough to get out of the room as you may be wrestling against the best in the country at your weight even if you're really good yourself. At 285, PSU's Anthony Cassar, who wrestled at 197 and did well last year before getting beaten out by Shakur Rasheed (who went on to place 7th), beat PSU's Nick Nevills 7-2. Nevills came back for 3rd. Nevills was 7th at 285 in the NCAA tourney last year and ranked #2 nationally coming into the year. He did have shoulder surgery in the off-season, but he handled the other wrestlers pretty easily, so I'm not sure it affected enough to explain any of the outcome. It sounds like Cassar's a beast. Things could change, but there's a good chance an All-American last year won't even make the tournament this year.
