For the next two seasons, Penn wrestling will battle for Keystone State supremacy in a home-and-home series with Penn State.

A pair of freshmen were the only Quakers who made it to Pittsburgh this year to compete on college wrestling's biggest stage.

Here's a look at six impressive athletes who can make a big impact this upcoming weekend in their respective events. 

Spring break was an exciting time for Penn Athletics. With impressive wins from many teams, the Quakers had a lot of success.

The Quakers ended the dual meet season on Sunday in Bethlehem, Pa. Hoping to steal a win away from No. 20 Lehigh, the Red and Blue came up short and concluded the regular season with a 34-6 defeat. 

On Saturday at the Palestra, the Quakers lost to No. 19 Princeton, 28-6, but followed that up with a 39-0 victory against California Baptist on Sunday afternoon.

As Penn athletics begins to wrap up the winter season, there are still questions that will be answered in upcoming season finales. Here are some things to consider before the rise of spring.

Penn wrestling was defeated by No. 10 Cornell and Columbia in consecutive Ivy League dual meets over the weekend.

The Quakers hosted Brown at the Palestra on Saturday afternoon, followed by Harvard in the evening, with both meets ending in exciting and important victories for Penn. 

In recent years, Penn wrestling has attracted a number of top recruits from across the country. This is evident from the performances of this year’s freshman class.

Here are a few of those impressive athletes who can make a big impact in their respective events this upcoming weekend.

The Quakers dropped both matches this weekend, first to Binghamton on Friday by a score of 24-12 and then Army on Sunday by a score of 28-10. 

Just starting their season, the Quakers have shown that they are on the rise. But Penn’s recent success on the mat isn’t just temporary.

For the fourth straight year, Drexel came out on top of the annual contest between the University City rivals, holding off a late charge from the Quakers to prevail by a 16-15 score.

Penn went south to Duke this weekend, jumping back into the dual meet season for 2019. Despite a promising opening in the 125- and 133- pound weight classes, the Quakers ultimately fell to the Blue Devils 25-18.

In the middle of winter break, the Quakers traveled over 800 miles to Hoffman Estates, Ill. to compete in the Midlands Championships, one of the premier tournaments in collegiate wrestling. 

At its core, the Palestra is a gathering place for members of the Penn community. No matter if the event is basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, or wrestling, the arena does its job of bringing people together.
