Penn College wrestling in the national spotlight
With a returning lineup that includes the program’s first national qualifier, Pennsylvania College of Technology wrestling coach Pankil Chander describes this year’s team as “competitive, deep and young” as the Wildcats enter the season nationally ranked among NCAA Division III schools for the first time in program history.
“We have nearly doubled the roster size from last season,” Chander said. “In the first tournament of 2022, we weighed in 14 guys. In the first tournament of 2023 this weekend (Friday and Saturday at the Ithaca Invitational), we’re weighing in 30. We currently have 34 on the roster with only three seniors and significant depth at five out of our 10 weights, while still a bit top-heavy at the other five.
“The depth has breaded more internal competition and that has elevated the intensity and competitiveness of our room. There are several weight classes where the margins are razor-thin between the number one, two and three guys. That’s a great recipe for success and having an intense training environment.
