I voted for 5tarocci.

Hendrickson will be hard to beat after the emotional win over Steveson. The way he won (final match, final seconds) and his salute of the POTUS while draped in the American Flag will be the lasting images of this year’s championships. Many voters are likely focusing on this one win.

I would have voted for Mesenbrink, as I thought he was the most dominant this season. But seeing that he appears out of this, I voted for Starocci instead.

Can I just vote for the whole Penn State Wrestling Program?

 

[TiogaLion]

Does anyone have a current PSU student? If so, would you please ask them to both vote, and to send the link to their social media followers asking them to both vote and send it to their followers.

If a couple of undergrads actually did this, it would take no time before Carter (and possibly Mitch as well) is/are way ahead.

Gimme Mesenbrink. Represents what wrestling should be about - nonstop action and aggressiveness.
