Penn State Wrestling: Sunday Session III | FULL RESULTS

The penultimate session of the 2025 B1G Wrestling Championships is in the books for Penn State Wrestling.

With several of the Nittany Lion wrestlers securing wins last night in the consolation bracket, Cael Sanderson and his coaching staff have locked down automatic NCAA bids for all 10 guys. And hey, even for a program with a winning pedigree like Penn State, that’s not an easy feat to accomplish.

But before we turn the page to this evening’s finals, third place matches, and possibly fifth place match, let’s highlight what happened in Session III of the B1G’s.

5th Place Match

197

No. 2 Josh Barr (PSU) vs. No. 7 Camden McDanel (NEB)

On a side note here, I see now way that Josh Barr laces up his shoes for the 5th place match. With NCAA’s only two weeks left and with an injury to his left knee, it’s certainly best he just sits this one out. Hopefully he’ll be able to recover in time to get anywhere close to 80% by then.

3rd Place Matches
