Penn state wrestling coach cael Sanderson addresses injury to star wrestle josh Barr…
Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson has some good news for fans – star wrestler Josh Barr is expected to be ready for the NCAA Championships despite a recent injury. Barr suffered a left leg injury during the Big Ten Championships, which forced him to medically forfeit his consolation match against Isaiah Salazar ¹ ².
Sanderson confirmed that Barr will be “ready to go” for the NCAA Championships, which is a huge boost for the Nittany Lions. Barr has had a impressive season, moving up to the 197-pound weight class after Carter Starocci, a four-time national champ, moved up to 184. He’s only lost three matches out of 21, and his success has earned him the No. 4 seed in the NCAA Championships ¹ ³.
Barr’s first match at the NCAA Championships will be against Lock Haven’s Tucker Hogan on Thursday afternoon in Philadelphia. With Barr back in the lineup, Penn State is looking strong to win their 12th title in 14 years ¹.
