Why is Penn State wrestling, Cael Sanderson more dominant than ever?
Penn State wrestling is still finding ways to outdo itself.
What’s next for the No. 1 team in the nation, the one that somehow appears even more dominant than its two previous record-setting versions?
The Nittany Lions and coach Cael Sanderson, who are well on their way to their 13th national title in the past 15 years, seem to be only distancing themselves further from the rest of the country, including the preeminent Big Ten.
The Lions are in the midst of an NCAA-record 82-match winning streak. They have six No. 1-ranked wrestlers for the first time in history. They’ve stunningly shut out seven opponents this season, another school record.
The top sports dynasty in America? It’s to the point where the biggest question is whether Top 10 opponents, like Nebraska Friday night in the Bryce Jordan Center, will simply score.Need a news break? Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!
When asked recently about they’re ever-growing dominance, Sanderson talked about culture and their long-standing program process. “I mean, we have a special thing going here, right? The kids know that. They see that,” he told reporters last week in State College. “I think I have a pretty good idea of what we’re doing and what we’re not doing. I think, in this era, the NIL era, and all the different motivations to go to different programs, our kids know that they’re coming here because they want to be the best wrestlers they can possibly be.
“I think when we look back, we’ll see that this era has been good to us because we do our best to follow the rules. And we’re going to get the kids that are coming here for the right reasons. Because the kids know, recruits know, parents know.
“Kids are coming here with very high character, wanting to be the best wrestlers in the world.”
How a Penn State wrestling dynasty grows even stronger
Their overall dominance of the sport in the past 15 years is one matter. How they continually find new ways to improve upon themselves is quite another. They certainly own an even deeper roster than the past two teams that broke overall points records at the NCAA Championships. They certainly seem possible of tying or bettering records for most individual finalists (six) and winners (five) at those national championships in Cleveland in late March. … more at … https://www.ydr.com/story/sports/college/penn-state/2026/01/27/why-is-penn-state-college-wrestling-cael-sanderson-more-dominant-than-ever/87702514007/
Cowboy Wrestling Collects Statement Victory Over No. 3 Iowa State
STILLWATER – The No. 5 Oklahoma State wrestling team defeated No. 3 Iowa State, 24-9, on Sunday afternoon inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Cowboys took seven of 10 bouts, with No. 12 Jax Forrest (133) and No. 2 Dee Lockett (165) picking up bonus points. The win improves the Cowboys to 12-1 overall and 7-0 in the Big 12, while the loss drops the Cyclones to 9-1 on the season and 5-1 in the conference. Additionally, it’s OSU’s third top-10 win this season.
“This is probably our toughest challenge that we’ve had this year,” head coach David Taylor said. “I got onto these guys on Friday, just felt like we had a little more to give and a little more effort and a little more energy. I think they responded really well. I think our team kind of grew together over the last couple of days. I think tonight was very much a team effort. We came in, and the guys wrestled well and finished matches strongly at the end. I’m proud of the guys.”
In the highest-ranked matchup of the afternoon, true freshman No. 2 Sergio Vega (141) took on fellow Sunnyside High School graduate No. 3 Anthony Echemendia. Late in the third, Vega collected the bout-winning takedown for his team-leading seventh ranked win of the season. Vega, 12 bouts into his college career, has yet to surrender a takedown despite facing three All-Americans, including Nebraska’s Brock Hardy twice.
At 149-pounds No. 12 Casey Swiderski, the former Cyclone, took on No. 6 Jacob Frost in Swiderski’s first meeting against Iowa State since his departure. With under a minute to go in the final period, Swiderski collected the winning takedown and improved to 10-1 in his last 11 bouts.
No. 6 Landon Robideau (157) continued his impressive freshman campaign with a 4-1 win over No. 8 Vinny Zerban. The win was Robideau’s fifth ranked win of his career and second over a former All-American.
Other true freshman phenom Forrest moved to 8-0 in his career with a technical fall victory over Osmaney Diversent. The meeting was the second between the two this season, as Forrest pinned Diversent at the Cyclone Open on January 18. Forrest has seven bonus-point wins over his eight career bouts.
174-pounder No. 7 Alex Facundo picked up his second top-15 win of the weekend with a 4-1 win over No. 13 MJ Gaitan. The reigning Big 12 Wrestler of the Week has now won 11 of his last 12 bouts.

Embracing glory
Larry Owings scored the biggest upset in NCAA wrestling history and spent the rest of his life coming to terms with it.
By Mike Seely
When Larry Owings was growing up in rural Oregon, everyone—his friends, his family, even his teachers—called him by the nickname “Porky.” They did this because he was overweight. “Nowadays, they would call that bullying,” says Owings, now 75. “Back then, you just had to grin and take it. I can’t tell you how deep down inside I was hurting. It inspired me to say, ‘I’m gonna show you someday.’ “
Would he ever.
Owings had four older brothers, all of them state wrestling champs at Canby High School. Taking a gander at their baby brother in junior high, none of them expected Larry to wrestle at all, much less earn any kind of hardware. But a life-changing event—or occupation, rather—occurred in the summer before his freshman year. “I went to work for an old Norwegian dairy farmer,” he recalls. “I hauled hundred-pound bales of hay for him all summer long. Before that, I worked on the farm picking berries, and I hated picking berries. There was no way I was not gonna do good in this job and go back to picking berries.”
Owings’ weight went from about 150 to 130 through the course of his sweaty vocation, and he also grew a couple of inches. In spite of his siblings’ doubts, he joined the Canby wrestling team and worked his way up to varsity at 123 pounds by the end of his freshman year. By the end of his high school career, he would win state championships in both the 136- and 141-pound weight divisions.
During his senior year, Owings was matched in a tournament with an Iowa State University sophomore named Dan Gable, who was undefeated and already an NCAA champion. Gable won their match rather easily, but Owings managed to score some points – quite a feat for anyone facing a man who would go down as the greatest amateur wrestler of all time.
After losing to Gable, Owings said he felt like he “had a score to settle.” Two years later, he’d get his chance.
Triumph, then turmoil
There were a lot of colleges interested in Owings’ wrestling services after high school, but the University of Washington won out. “I didn’t go to Oregon State because my brothers had gone there,” he explains. “I went up to the U-Dub, beautiful campus, coach was very gung-ho. Jim Smith – he’s still alive, by the way. He’s 90 and lives in Lynnwood. I liked the school, I liked the coach. I wanted to go into architecture, and they had a great architecture program.”
Owings, ’72, ’75, ’78, pursued an architecture degree for a quarter before he deemed it too difficult and switched to industrial education. Things on the mat went according to plan, however. By the time Owings was a sophomore, he was Pac-8 champion at 158 pounds with the 1970 NCAA tournament on the horizon. … more at … https://magazine.washington.edu/feature/larry-owings-who-scored-the-biggest-upset-in-ncaa-wrestling-history-comes-to-terms-with-fame-more-than-50-years-later/#gsc.tab=0

No. 1 Penn State does it again with rout of No. 16 Rutgers
With a dominant 46-0 win over No. 16 Rutgers, No. 1 Penn State earned its 78th straight dual meet win, surpassing Division II’s St. Cloud State’s 77 wins for the most in NCAA history. The Nittany Lions earned three falls in the shutout.
HISTORY IN THE MAKING: How Penn State won its first 77 consecutive duals No. 1 Shayne Van Ness notched the first pin of the night at 149 pounds when he topped Devon Magro in the second period. Fellow No. 1-ranked wrestlers Mitchell Mesenbrink and Levi Haines also earned falls at 165 and 174 pounds, respectively, while top 197-pound wrestler Josh Barr earned a tech fall against No. 18 Remy Cotton. The most competitive match of the night came at heavyweight, where No. 14 Cole Mirasola finished off the shutout in decision fashion over No. 21 Hunter Catka, 4-2. After passing Oklahoma State’s 76-win mark set from 1937 to 1951 before Christmas against Stanford, the Nittany Lions proved they are not slowing down soon. Next up, Penn State heads to No. 4 Iowa for a major Friday night dual. Iowa, Minnesota capture victories in Big Ten openers
Both Iowa and No. 11 Minnesota opened Big Ten competition with wins, with the Hawkeyes defeating No. 18 Wisconsin, 23-12, and the Gophers besting No. 10 Illinois, 27-9.
The most notable result from Iowa’s win was a loss for the Hawkeyes when No. 4 Drake Ayala dropped a decision to No. 14 Zan Fugitt at 133 pounds, 6-5. Last season’s runner-up now sits at 4-4 so far this season.
Iowa did earn a sudden-victory win from No. 5 Ben Kueter at heavyweight against No. 9 Braxton Amos, but Wisconsin got one back from No. 17 Joseph Zargo, who defeated No. 7 Ryder Block at 149 pounds. The Hawkeyes finished the dual with wins from No. 3 Mikey Caliendo, No. 3 Patrick Kennedy and No. 1 Angelo Ferrari.
ALL-AMERICANS: Meet the 80 athletes who finished on the podium last season
Minnesota, meanwhile, performed strong in its bout with Illinois over the weekend as well, with a tech fall win from No. 6 Jore Volk at 125 pounds. Unranked 133-pound Gopher Brandon Morvari also held No. 1 Lucas Byrd to only a decision win, a promising sign for the backup sophomore against the national champ. The Gophers then won five of the next six contests, highlighted by a sudden-victory win at 174 pounds from No. 22 Ethan Riddle over No. 19 Colin Kelly. Minnesota also earned a major decision win from No. 10 Koy Hopke at heavyweight over Ryan Boersma, 9-1.
NC State and Virginia Tech prevail in close ACC regular season duals
Conference duals in the ACC began Friday, and the league’s top two teams were tested. No. 9 NC State faced a tough match against Virginia while No. 7 Virginia Tech took on No. 14 Pittsburgh.
At Reynolds Coliseum, Virginia took an early 10-0 lead with three wins, including an upset for Gable Porter over NC State’s No. 8 All-American Ryan Jack at 141 pounds. NC State slowly came back, using wins from No. 8 Koy Buesgens at 149, No. 12 Will Denny at 165 and No. 5 Matty Singleton at 174 pounds. A decision win by Steven Burrell Jr. at 184 pounds over No. 21 Patrick Brophy put the Cavaliers up four going into the final match of the night.
Senior All-American No. 2 Issac Trumble needed at least a tech fall to win the Wolfpack the dual, but he did better by pinning No. 32 Brenan Morgan to close out a 19-17 win. The NC State faithful erupted, sending Reynolds Coliseum into a frenzy.
In Pittsburgh, the Hokies scored their 18 points in the first five matches of the evening, highlighted by a tech fall win from No. 3 All-American Eddie Ventresca over No. 30 Tyler Chappell to start the night at 125 pounds. The Panthers won the next five contests but only by decisions, finishing the night with a 1-0 win for No. 16 Dayton Pitzer over Virginia Tech’s No. 11 Jimmy Mullen at heavyweight.

Kent State Names Josh Moore as Wrestling Program’s Seventh Head Coach
KENT, Ohio – Kent State Vice President and Director of Athletics Randale L. Richmond announced today the hiring of Josh Moore as the seventh head coach in Golden Flashes wrestling history. Moore, who previously served as head coach at Cleveland State University for seven years, returns to Kent State, where he began his coaching career as an assistant coach from 2004-2015.
“We are very excited to welcome Josh and his family back to Kent State,” said Richmond. “His deep connection to our program and his proven track record of developing championship caliber wrestlers on the mat, in the classroom, and throughout the community makes him the ideal leader for the next era of Golden Flashes wrestling.”
Moore brings 21 years of Division I coaching experience to the position, including impressive achievements at Kent State and Cleveland State. During his tenure as head coach at Cleveland State, he guided the program to national recognition, helping the Vikings achieve one of the top team GPAs in the nation over the past five years while leading the MAC in Individual Academic All-Americans.
His coaching accomplishments include mentoring 10 All-Americans and 69 NCAA Division I qualifiers throughout his career. At Kent State, Moore was instrumental in developing the program’s first-ever NCAA champion, Dustin Kilgore, and helped guide the Golden Flashes to four top-25 team finishes at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. “Coming back to Kent State as the Head Coach is truly a dream come true for my family and me,” said Moore. “I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and fired up to bring the energy, passion, and purpose every single day. Ohio wrestling family, Let’s build something special-together!”
Beyond his coaching success, Moore has demonstrated exceptional leadership in academic achievement and community engagement. He helped Cleveland State Wrestling earn a perfect 1000 Academic Progress Rate (APR) in 2023-2024 and has been instrumental in maintaining team GPAs above 3.25 throughout his career. His fundraising efforts have generated significant support for wrestling programs, including leading Cleveland State as the top Giving Day Ambassador and securing over $200,000. … more at … https://kentstatesports.com/news/2025/6/13/kent-state-names-josh-moore-as-wrestling-programs-seventh-head-coach.aspx
NC State Aiming To Continue ACC Wrestling Mastery
NC State has captured the last six ACC wrestling titles and the Wolfpack are looking to keep that run going against a highly competitive field this weekend.
College wrestling’s postseason is finally here.
After four months of chatter about developments leading to March, the time has arrived — and it’s time for the NC State Wolfpack to compete at the ACC Championships.
NC State will go into the event as the reigning six-time champions, raising the team title trophy at the ACC Championships every year dating back to 2019. “As you hit the postseason, it becomes more about the individual accomplishments and their personal goals, which of course bleed into the team aspect,” NC State coach Pat Popolizio said. “You want to see guys finish out and accomplish their goals, and right now as we head towards March there are two opportunities left, starting with ACCs.”
If you go strictly by seeds — which are a result of ACC dual results — this year’s Wolfpack squad will look a lot different from last year’s, which set a school record for team points (116), individual ACC titles (seven), and had the largest margin of victory at the event (29.5 points over second-place Virginia Tech) since 2007.
NC State posted a 5-1 record in ACC duals to finish tied atop the conference standings for the sixth time in the last eight years. Unlike last year, however, the Pack won’t have eight of their 10 wrestlers seeded second or better. “We have seen guys lose in dual meets but then come right back and have a really good showing come ACCs and leading into NCAAs,” Popolizio said. “There is still a lot of wrestling left. Just in the last few days right after coming back from Virginia Tech, we saw some guys respond very well. We have a lot of motivated guys in that room.”
Popolizio and his staff know how to bring back hardware from the one-day ACC event. “We have got to show up, compete, be aggressive, and score points,” Popolizio said. “We have to reverse some results that we let slip away in duals. This year is set up to be a nail-biter among quite a few teams, it is really pretty even across the board. “I think it comes down to who wants it more. There are going to be a lot of tight, close matches, it is going to be exciting. It comes down to who is willing to go out there and take some risks to get their hand raised.”

Big Ten Weekly Recap (2/27/2025)
Iowa wins in Carver – The Hawkeyes came out on top Sunday night in the highly anticipated grudge match between Iowa and Oklahoma State. In addition to the traditional rivalry, we had the added excitement of subplots like Brands v Gilman, David Taylor as the new coach, the Cowboys recently supplanting Iowa as the second-ranked team in the country, and a slew of great matchups. We also had the added intrigue of true freshman Angelo Ferrari having the opportunity to battle against NCAA Finalist Dustin Plott. That’s exciting on its own, but pair that with the fact that he’s in a battle in his own room for the starting spot in the lineup, and now it has additional implications. Or certainly could at least. If you’re a Hawkeye fan, you’ve got to be excited about the future of this squad, paired with how good Teemer looked, for potential NCAA implications. On their best days, this Iowa team could have five finalists (133, 149, 157, 165, 197), which is a lot to be excited about and certainly enough for a trophy at the end of March.
Michigan > CMU > MSU – In the battle for the mitten, the University of Michigan reigns supreme in the 2024/2025 season. Last weekend the Wolverines dispatched the Spartans, and this Friday CMU beat MSU in Mount Pleasant to start their weekend. Next up was their trip to Ann Arbor on Sunday evening. The Chippewas began hot and had the lead 11-8 headed into 165, but that’s where their momentum stopped and the Wolverines took over. Beau Mantanona got a first-period pin at 165, followed by his brother Brock bumping up to 174 and upsetting Alex Cramer, who was ranked seventh in the country at the time. That’s a huge win for a true freshman bumping up a weight class, and helped continue the momentum for the Wolverines. 31-11 was the final score in what was a hard-fought and fun dual to see in person.
Ethen Miller is undefeated headed into B1Gs – Maryland finished off their season with a win over Drexel to the score of 23-13. Maryland had a solid season, with a dual win over the Wolverines a couple of weeks back, paired with some strong individual performances. Braxton Brown at 133 only has two losses on the season, and has shown the ability to compete with the best in the country. Additionally, Ethen Miller has ended his regular season at 20-0 and 7-0 in the B1G. … more at … https://intermatwrestle.com/articles.html/college/big-10/big-ten-weekly-recap-2272025-r100055/
