The Penn State wrestling program has had to pause team activities because of a positive COVID test among its Tier 1 personnel, the university announced this evening.
Penn State was scheduled to open its season Saturday at Rutgers, but that match has been postponed. The school said that “no determination has been made on how the pause may impact scheduled matches beyond January 16.”
The next match on PSU’s schedule is slated for Jan. 24 at home against Michigan State. We will have to wait and see if that match can go on.

“When we compete we’re not wearing masks. When we’re actually wrestling in practice we’re fortunate we haven’t had to wear masks. But the kids do wear masks coming into practice, out of practice, every other second of the day, basically. When they’re in the weight room they’re wearing masks.”
