Penn State freshman Mark Hall showed why he’s the defending Junior World champ this weekend as he sailed through the junior division of the U.S. Open Wrestling Championships, outscoring opponents 60-0 on his way to the title at 74 kg.
Hall earned a 10-0 technical fall over Iowa freshman Alex Marinelli in the final at South Pointe Arena in Las Vegas.
The defending NCAA champion earned a technical fall in all six of his matches at the open, allowing only one match to go into the second period. With the ease that Hall sailed through the tournament, some questioned whether he should have competed in the senior division.
