Penn State Wrestling Visits the State Capitol

TDR Editor; Good to see successful wrestlers recognized in a public setting. Also good to see them soaking in some history and the governmental process in an impressive setting. Had the pleasure of touring the Pennsylvania State Capitol and other historic sites in Harrisburg almost 1 year ago. An enjoyable visit yet the Governor and others were not there to meet us. Oh, well.

HARRISBURG, Pa. – A pair of Penn State championship teams visited the Pennsylvania State Capitol Tuesday afternoon for a recognition celebrating a year of standout accomplishments. Representing the NCAA national champion Penn State wrestling team, All-Americans Nick Nevills and two-time Hodge Trophy winner Zain Retherford joined head coach Cael Sanderson. Penn State men’s basketball NIT Champions John Harrar and Lamar Stevens also joined head coach Patrick Chambers for the trip. The day began in the Pennsylvania House as the group made its way to the floor on a busy day. Led by Pennsylvania’s Rep. Mike Hanna, Rep. Kerry Benninghoff and Rep. Scott Conklin, the three read aloud an uncontested resolution congratulating both Nittany Lion squads on historic seasons. Passing through the bustling halls of the national historic landmark, the Nittany Lions arrived at the Governor’s Reception room next. Following a few photos, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf greeted the room to welcome the Nittany Lion champions.
