How to watch Penn State wrestling in the 2024 NCAA Wrestling finals: Time, TV info, and more
Penn State wrestling is ready for the final session of the 2024 NCAA Wrestling Championships. The Nittany Lions enter it with six finalists. It has already clinched the team title. It has eight All-Americans. How many national champions will it have? We’ll find out tonight. Iowa’s all-time scoring record of 170 points is in reach. So, too, is the chance to become either the first team to crown five national champions in one year three times or the first to ever crown six in a single tournament.
“I think focus on myself, just prepare myself physically, mentally, like I said, spiritually and then if I check all those boxes I should do all right,” Penn State heavyweight Greg Kerkvliet said before his finals match with No. 10 Lucas Davison of Michigan.
The finals format will be altered. Instead of running 125-285, the NCAA will run it 285-197. That’s because senior Penn State senior Aaron Brooks is going for his fourth national title against a wrestler he’s had three great matches with, all wins, in N.C. State’s Trent Hidlay.
