Penn State has six in the finals, which are set to start at 7. I'm still wrapping up some things from the game, but I'll do my best to post results here as they come through. I'll be listening to Jeff Byers' call on 1390 AM. You can stream the radio broadcast live HERE.
It's been a solid day so far as Penn State has a commanding 12.5-point lead in the team race. Nico Megaludis (125), Jordan Conaway (133), Zain Retherford (149), Jason Nolf (157), Bo Nickal (174) and Morgan McIntosh (197) all still alive for the title
