It just keeps getting better for Penn State wrestling.

The team has already sealed the Big Ten championship.

Then, the most dramatic match of the weekend took place.

Second-seeded Mitchell Mesenbrink trailed No. 1 and defending Big Ten champion Dean Hamiti of Wisconsin 9-2. He ended up winning 13-11. The Cal-Baptist transfer came into this season with two college matches under his belt. Now, he’s firmly established as one of Penn State’s heavy hitters.
