Congratulations to the student-athletes of the week! 📚

🤼 Sophomore Rocco Welsh, ranked No. 4 heading into the weekend, beat No. 1 Angelo Ferrari of Iowa, 2-1 in a tie-breaker. Welsh and Ferrari traded escapes during regulation and two minutes of sudden victory. Welsh then controlled Ferrari for the full :30 of the initial tie-breaker set. The Lion sophomore was then able to escape to a 2-1 lead halfway through his choice and finished the bout in neutral to claim the victory. Welsh's win was one of nine in Penn State's 32-3 thrashing of the Hawkeyes in Iowa City. The loss was the worst suffered by Iowa in its home venue in 60 years. Two days later, Welsh tallied six takedowns, two escapes and a two-point turn to roll to a 22-7 technical fall over Northwestern's J.D. Perez in the Nittany Lions' 51-0 shutout victory in Evanston. Welsh improved to 11-0 with four techs and three majors on the year. @pennstatewrest is now 9-0, 3-0 in Big Ten action.

🏃‍♀️ @pennstatetfxc's Hayley Kitching made history on Saturday afternoon at the Nittany Lion Challenge, breaking an NCAA record in the women’s 1000-meter by running it in 2:38.45. The record had stood for seven years, previously set by another Nittany Lion Danae Rivers in 2019. Her time also set a new Australian national record in the event.
