Penn State broke its own points record at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in grand style.
Carter Starocciโs fifth national championship – a 4-3 win over Northern Iowaโs Parker Keckeisen – clinched the record that was set by last seasonโs Nittany Lions.
After the match, Starocci was quick to credit the coaching staff on all of his success at Penn State.
โThis coaching staff, theyโre just on another level,โ Starocci told ESPN. โWe have 10 All-Americans. The freshmen are ready to go. The seniors are still fresh. Weโre the ones going out there, but the coachesโฆyou just canโt put words on it.โ
Penn State now has 173 points for the championships, beating last yearโs total of 172.5. They still have two wrestlers competing for titles tonight in 165-pounder Mitchell Mesenbrink and 197-pounder Josh Barr.
