Penn State's defending NCAA champion, Zain Rutherford.



    Defending team champion Penn State are the clear favorite to capture their tenth NCAA team title at the 92nd annual NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at Tulsa, OK. The Nittany Lions recently won the Big Ten Championships and boast four defending NCAA kings, Roman Bravo-Young (133), Carter Starocci (19-0), Aaron Brooks (12-1) and Max Dean (22-3).   

   

    Young (17-0, 98-9 career) seeks his third title and could meet Oklahoma State's Daton Fix (26-0, 98-4) in the championship bout for the third consecutive year. Fix has been an NCAA runner-up for the past three seasons. Both were four-time undefeated state champions, Young (182-0) hails from Sunnyside, AZ and Fix (168-0) is a local product from Sand Springs, OK.  If Fix reaches the NCAA final, he could ride his bike to the match, as he grew up only 7.5 miles from the BOK Center.


     Iowa's Spencer Lee (17-0, 95-5) looks to be the Hawkeyes first ever four-time NCAA champion.
