? PSU wrestlers in summer competition

[psykim]

Besides the Olympics whose competitors include 2 former PSU wrestlers (Aaron Brooks, Zain Retherford) plus members of NLWC, are there any other national or international competitions PSU wrestlers, recruits, or recruiting targets are competing in this summer? Thanks.

Luke Lilledahl, PJ Duke, Zack Ryder, and Connor Mirasola are sitting in the best-of-three finals at the US U20 Freestyle Trials. Entries at it include Cael Nasdeo, Tyler Kasak, Joe Sealey, Will Henckel, and Cole Mirasola. Not seeing any Lions on the U23 entry sheet yet.

Tyler Kasak U20 Freestyle.

I swear he wasn't on the list and now is, but I probably just overlooked him. Updated. Thanks!

THANKS for following up Greg!! I look forward to reading about this. Curious if you could get an interview with Nick Lee re his being hired as an assistant coach or is access to the coaches blocked until the wrestling season. I hope you have noticed that he was also a 4 time first team academic All American besides all his wrestling accolades (this is on the PSU sports webpage).

Working on that. Not overly optimistic, but we'll see.

Wasn't on originally. They update pretty frequently.

Good call. That one always slips through the cracks for me. Thanks!

Curious - How did RBY qualify at his weight (57 Kg, 126 pounds) for the Olympics, wrestling for Mexico? Curious how hard is it for him to make weight as he consistently wrestled at 133 pounds at Penn State and he sure did not look like he had pounds to lose.
