Two of Penn State wrestling’s brightest young stars have their hands full this weekend at Final X.

At 57 KG, Luke Lilledahl, going into his sophomore season, will take on Spencer Lee, who many believe will win an Olympic Gold Medal in 2028.

At 70 KG, PJ Duke, who just finished his senior year of high school, will take on a four-time NCAA champ in Cornell great Yianni Diakomihalis.

A spot in the World Championships, scheduled for this September in Croatia, is on the line.
