Ono is out

11/08/2025 08:43:58 AM

We expected Nittany Lion newcomer and Japan world champ Masanosuke Ono to compete in the 57-kilogram bracket today. But, when the brackets were released, he was not listed. It’s unclear why he is not competing. He is on the Penn State roster at 133 pounds, and 57 kilograms is 125 pounds, so he could have missed weight. But, he also could have scratched for other reasons. We’ll provide an update if one becomes available.
