Late-November WIN Magazine is now available
Even though the college wrestling season started around the first of November, it doesn’t get serious until the annual NWCA All-Star Classic, where some of the top wrestlers met a week ago in State College. That included West Virginia’s Peyton Hall getting a leg-up on Stanford’s Hunter Garvin and scoring a fall in their 165-pound matchup.
These past few weeks also saw the return of Minnesota’s legendary heavyweight Gable Steveson – after a two-year hiatus – and how the new transfer rules are really benefiting Iowa and Oklahoma State.
