"He got a little dinged up in practice last week," Jeff Byers says on The Penn State Sports Network.
2025 NCAA Championship Session I Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
And that will be a tech fall for Kerk. 15-0. 10/10 and 9/10 bonus. What a start.
Could be my imagination but it seems like ESPN did a much better job showing brief highlights, pins, end of match scoring, etc., in previous NCAA’s. Maybe I’m trying to say that there seemed to me to be more PSU spotlights throughout the tourney. Maybe that all happens Saturday…
285 R1: #3 seed Greg Kerkvliet vs. #30 seed Sam Mitchell (Wyoming)
I'll use SM for Sam
Per 1
Kerk with a sleeve over the left knee. Byers says he injured it at practice. A bit of a scramble and Kerk with the TD, 3-0. Kerk riding well, but not having much luck tilting him. SM is flat. He finally does tilt him, but SM rolls through. There was a stall warning on SM. Sorry, I had to look away to deal with something and I see that 4 NF were awarded. 7-0. End RT @ 2:12 for Kerk
Per 2
I'm not sure who took what, but it looks as though SM was on bottom.. Kerk tilts him, and gets 4 NF, so it's 11-0. Another Stall call makes it 12-0. Kerk tries to lock a cradle, and can't get it. End. RT @ 4:12 for Kerk
Per 3
Kerk takes neutral. Kerk working an underhook, nothing. Kerk in on a single and gets the TD, making it a 15-0, TF, @ 5:31
PSU goes 10-0 in Session I

Penn State wrestling will have 10 wrestlers in action during the first session at the NCAA Championships. Follow along here for live updates.
Hard to tell. Might just be from the way it’s wrapped but he does have a hitch in the walk.
Was not expecting that. Your lower half is so important for explosiveness in finishing. I’m concerned about that for both Barr and Kerk with the leg injuries. More so for Barr as he’s undersized at 197 and has a stacked bracket.
Probably TrackWrestling, though other places probably have it.

Penn State wrestling rolls in session one: NCAA Championship team score, injury notes, more
Penn State wrestling won 10 of 10 bouts in session one of the NCAA Championships. Here are our top takeaways.
When I listen to Brands interviewed, I’m fine with him. His matside antics are asinine though. I thoroughly enjoyed the BTN Brands special other than they played it waaay too much. With that being said, they have a few screws loose. And they get their attitude from their mother.

next year someone might want to know this.
Also, that trainer looks like the comedian Gallagher.

I’m perplexed at how Starocci is in his fifth year of competition and has been so dominant and yet, just now, accumulated his 100th win. I guess they wrestle far less matches per year now? Here is the list of all time wins for PSU.

@GregPickel I don’t know if this is a reason, but if common users such as myself have a file limit and there’s any way you can give me a temporary increase I’d love to pay some pics
