STATE COLLEGE, Pa; - The Penn State Nittany Lion wresting team hosted its annual media day today, welcoming a full contingent of the region's wrestling reporters to the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex. The entire Penn State team and staff met the press before an open practice session that the media was allowed to attend.
"This is an important event for us," veteran head coach Troy Sunderland said. "We have a great relationship with the substantial media that cover us here at Penn State and this day serves as a great way for them to talk with any member of our squad in casual and relaxed setting. It also gives our wrestlers a chance to get back in the swing of talking with the media and really gives the young guys a chance to see just how many people have an interest in Penn State wrestling."
Print, local television and radio were all represented at the event.
