Penn State wins the 2024 DI men's NCAA wrestling championship
Penn State wins the 2024 DI men's NCAA wrestling championship
Just as they have done 10 times before under head coach Cael Sanderson, the Penn State Nittany Lions captured the Division I national title.
This time, though, Penn State made a little extra history in its victory.
The Nittany Lions put eight athletes on the podium including four national champions, two runner-ups and two additional place winners.
FINAL BRACKET | FINAL TEAM SCORES
Carter Starocci and Aaron Brooks headlined the success for the Blue and White, winning their fourth NCAA titles to become the sixth and seventh athletes to do so in NCAA wrestling. Starocci's win came by way of a 2-0 decision against No. 6 Rocco Welsh of Ohio State via an escape point and a stall point, but that was all he needed to finish on top once again. Aaron Brooks followed Starocci's footsteps, becoming the seventh four-time NCAA champ in history and the second for Penn State with his win over Hidlay 6-1.
Heavyweight Greg Kerkvliet added a title at heavyweight, his first, with a 13-4 major decision of Lucas Davison in a match in which he did not give up a single offensive point. He set a tone of total domination.
The Nittany Lions produced another national champ at 157 pounds as No. 1 Levi Haines completed his undefeated season with a strategic 4-0 shutout against No. 2 Jacori Teemer.
Penn State's No. 2 Beau Bartlett and No. 2 Mitchell Mesenbrink finished as runner-ups, as No. 1 Jesse Mendez of Ohio State topped Bartlett 4-1 at 141 pounds, and Mesenbrink fell to Iowa State's No. 4 David Carr at 165 pounds 9-8. Carr's win gave him his second title for the Cyclones, the first of which came in his freshman season at 157 pounds.
The Nittany Lions weren't the only team with historic moments on Saturday night, though. The Virginia Tech Hokies crowned just the second national champion in program history as No. 4 Caleb Henson turned up the offense at 149 pounds and earned a 15-7 bonus-point win over Michigan's No. 6 Austin Gomez, the 2024 Olympic rep for Mexico at 65kg. Henson is not only the second Hokie to finish on top of the podium in program history, but he is also the first national champion in NCAA wrestling history from the state of Georgia. His win is one of four podium finishers for the Hokies as part of their standout weekend in Kansas City.
Arizona State, Cornell and Northern Iowa will also leave the Show-Me State with one champ each. Sun Devil 125-pounder Richard Figueroa earned his first national championship by way of a 7-2 victory against Iowa's Drake Ayala, while Cornell's No. 6 Vito Arujau topped four-time NCAA finalist No. 1 Daton Fix of Oklahoma State at 133 pounds 5-3 for his second title and No. 1 Parker Keckeisen bonused No. 3 Dustin Plott of Oklahoma State at 184 pounds.

There's a caution in the approach of each of these guys. Both fan bases are calling for stalling. Thirty seconds.

Ayala tried to scramble out on the edge, but the refs call for three points. The refs will review. "A-S-U" chants break out from the left side of the arena. They can feel it โ their guy is that much closer to winning this crazy, wild, unexpected 125-pound bracket. Call is confirmed. Figueroa will hold a 4-0 lead going into the second period. What a clutch takedown from the Sun Devil! Iowa challenges. Call confirmed.
FIRST PERIOD: Back in 2021, we had a similar final between an Arizona State and an Iowa lightweight when Hawkeye three-time NCAA Spencer Lee wrestled Sun Devil Brandon Courtney to a 7-0 win. We'll see what these two guys can do. Figueroa said his post-semifinal press conference that Courtney has been like a brother to him, whereas Ayala said he and Lee are more competitive with one another. Regardless of the outcome of this match, credit belongs to the University of Iowa and Arizona State for consistently developing elite lightweights.
The pace is quick here early as these two athletes take stock of the match. No shots through the first two periods, but they are fast on their feet. Scoreless first period.

He leads 9-3 with ten seconds to go in the second period.
FIRST PERIOD: First match of the night, and we're starting with the big men! Let's do it!
Michigan's Lucas Davison has himself quite the tournament to make it this far, taking down No. 2 Yonger Bastida in the quarterfinals and then beating No. 3 Wyatt Hendrickson in the semifinals. Here's his shot against the top seed and the athlete ranked No. 1 all year: Greg Kerkvliet.
Penn State's Greg Kerkvliet picks up the first takedown, and he's on the board within the first 90 seconds. Davison escapes quickly, and the wrestlers are back to their feet. Takedown Greg Kerkvliet!
