Penn State to host Olympic Wrestling Team Trials in 2020

After months of speculation, it looks as if Penn State is finally set to host the 2020 Olympic Wrestling Team Trials, according to a Thursday report by FloWrestling. In a document from USA Wrestling — which outlines the Olympic Team Trials procedures for next year and was obtained by FloWrestling — State College, Pa., is listed as the site of next year’s team trials from April 4-5. USA Wrestling did not return several messages seeking comment, and a Penn State spokesperson declined to comment, referring all questions to USA Wrestling.

Still, the news shouldn’t take wrestling fans by surprise. In March, Penn State wrestling legend David Taylor reportedly told a group of alumni during the NCAA Wrestling Championships that the trials were already headed to Happy Valley. Athletic Director Sandy Barbour then responded, according to Onward State, that she “didn’t realize the news was ready to go public yet.” Apparently, USA Wrestling and Penn State were still not prepared for it to go public.
