Penn State wrestling legend Aaron Brooks is having one of the best years any PSU athlete has ever had.
Thursday in Paris featured some of the best and worst of that year.
After winning two matches to put himself in the semifinals, Brooks fell to Bulgaria’s Magomed Ramazanov 4-3, with a last-second exchange being the difference.
Brooks got the scoring started with a stall call, then a takedown shortly after to go up 3-0. After the break, the Bulgarian got a takedown to make it 3-2.
