As the Friday afternoon session concludes, all five of Penn State’s reigning national champions are still alive for a chance to repeat their titles as they each moved onto the semifinal round of the 2018 NCAA Wrestling Championships.
No. 1 Zain Retherford, No. 3 Jason Nolf, No. 3 Vincenzo Joseph, No. 2 Mark Hall and No. 1 Bo Nickal will all get their shot Friday evening to earn at ticket to the Saturday’s finals.
Retherford, who needs one more pin to be Penn State’s all-time leader in falls, will take on North Carolina’s No. 4 Troy Heilman at 149 pounds.
