Big Ten releases preliminary seeds ahead of Big Ten Wrestling Championships. Here’s a look
Penn State is heading to Evanston, Illinois, for the 2025 Big Ten Wrestling Championships this weekend and its 10 wrestlers now know where they are likely to be seeded in the bracket.
The preliminary seeds for the tournament were announced Wednesday afternoon and all of the Nittany Lions are in the top four of their weight classes. The program has won the last three conference championships and are looking to make it four this weekend, with a strong possibility of doing so.
Big Tens will begin Saturday at 10 a.m. and the final session will take place starting at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday — when several Nittany Lions could earn individual titles.
