A recent Penn State wrestling graduate took on a high school junior in the U.S. Senior World Team trials.
Unfortunately for Beau Bartlett, that high school wrestler happened to be Bo Bassett.
Bassett, the No. 2 overall recruit in the Class of 2026, only scored one point against Bartlett but that was all he needed.
Following a theme that plagued him throughout his Penn State career, Bartlett lost a low-scoring bout 1-0. The bout featured apparent confusion on Bartlett’s end. After the bout, it didn’t appear that Bartlett knew he had lost. A possible explanation for this is that the referee singled that Bartlett scored a step out, and the scoreboard ruled for Bassett.

Bartlett wrapped up his college career in March, finishing third at NCAA’s and earning his third All-America honor.
