Bartlett not introduced with the Seniors. Does that mean he is back next year?
Ironhead indicated on the radio PBP that he thinks Beau not being introduced is a good indication of his plans for next year. I don't think anything is certain until it is announced, but we'll take it as a positive.
165: #6 Mitchell Mesenbrink vs. Max Kirby (MK)
Kirby doesn't take the mat, so it's a forfeit.

174: #1 Carter Starocci vs. Joey Arnold (JA)
Per 1
A quick TD by CStar and a cut, 3-1. Another TD by CStar and they go OOB, 6-1. CStar cuts him, 6-2. CStar quickly behind for a TD and cuts him, 9-3. CStar shoots a double for the TD, 12-3, and then cuts him, 12-4. CStar with another double for a TD, 15-4 as they go OOB. CStar cuts him on the restart, 15-5. CStar with a throw-by and gets the TD, 18-5. CStar seems to want to tilt him now, but they go OOB with 51 sec left. He works a double grapevine and tilts him, then JA rolls a bit, and stoppage for PD, as CStar's knee was in some danger. You could hear a pin drop in Rec Hall, as they check on CStar's right knee. It's a 22-5, TF, @ 2:45

Hoping it is just a sprain for Carter. Can he still qualify for Nationals if he was to skip the Big Ten championships?

Replay did not look good for Carter. Minimum is a knee sprain, but may be much worse.
Must wrestle in Big tens to qualify for Nationals. Yes let’s say our prayers he’ll be alright. He could forfeit out of big ten’s as well. Let’s hope it’s minor. I’m sure he’ll have an MRI.

yes. He'd get an at large. would have to forfeit out of B1Gs

When I moved to Boro in 2019, they had already started to fall off. They had guys who looked the part, but lacked the speed. Mostly PA kids. Now they have
Their coach is a good guy, but I think everyone else is a volunteer. Bruce B was the AD, but I think he retired.
The campus is a ghost town.

Doesn't have actually to wrestle just needs to take the mat and forfiet.

Brooks has been a takedown machine since he started at PSU.
I think PSU can tie their biggest margin of victory in a dual if Kerk gets the pin.

8th time in the last 9 seasons that PSU finishes the dual season undefeated
Nice interview going on with Bernie Truax. Very complimentary of the PSU program. Well spoken young man.
Well didn't look as bad as when Nolf's injury happened (you saw his knee pop) didn't see that happen here
So hoping of the best
Byers interviews Truax
Q: talk about wrestling this season
- nothing like Rec Hall. This is amazing
Q: is it difficult to keep your focus after seeing Starocci
- it is difficult seeing your teammate go down, but I had to remember to do my job. I patted him on his back as he went by
Q: I thought you might get the pin
- 5 more seconds and I would have had it
Q: talk about the experience in the room
- it's been better than I expected. Being surrounded by the coaches, the teammates, the club. Once you get in there, there is so much to learn. It's going to change my life forever. Learning to grow as a man. It's been amazing to be here -- I'm forever blessed to have been here
Q: Guys from different backgrounds join each year
- we don't all conform into one individual. We go and do our thing. Being part of this program is great. The coaches tell us to be ourself, and makes you able to be true to yourself
Q: How do you feel heading to the postseason
- we're all right where we need to be. We're not nervous, which is the right place to me
Q: Any tweaks you're trying to make heading to the postseason
- feeling good, there are always tweaks as you try to get better
Q: was it difficult to soak in the day, as you've only been here 1 year
- I probably stopped 3 - 5 times to savor the experience. This is my last college dual. I got to see my family, my girlfriend. We're so blessed to go do what we do, and have fun doing it

Do what Nolf did. Take the mat and med forfiet two seconds later.
Then win Natty
