Former Penn State wrestlers finish with gold at 2023 Senior World Championships
Sunday’s 2023 Senior World Championships bout wrapped up title performances from two former Penn State All-Americans.
Zain Retherford and David Taylor both grabbed gold medals in the freestyle tournament, capping off undefeated runs with championship round wins.
Retherford captured his first world title with an 8-5 victory to put him at 4-0 on the tournament — outscoring his opponents 28-7 throughout the 70 kilogram class.
Taylor’s title match ended with a pin almost six minutes into action, leaving him at 5-0 through his latest 86 kilogram title.
Taylor’s matchup with Iran’s Hassan Yazdanicharati was the fourth time the two faced with a world or Olympic title at the helm, and extended his record against Yazdanicharati to 5-1.
The latest Nittany Lion gold medals could be a sign to come for the remainder of the tournament, which continues until September 24th. … rest of story at … PSUcollegian.com/wrestling/former-penn-state-wrestlers-finish-with-gold-at-2023-senior-world-championships
