Penn State wrestling sends all five semifinalists to NCAA finals, lead team competition going into final day
March 18, 2016

 

NEW YORK - Zain Retherford isn't on his family's pumpkin farm anymore.

He's in New York, a short cab ride from Broadway and the lights of Times Square. Though his hometown is only a three-hour drive from the Big Apple, 10,000 of them still wouldn't fill the host city of the 2016 NCAA Wrestling Championships. Madison Square Garden, the tournament's venue, could host more than 20 Benton, Pennsylvanias - the Penn Stater's bucolic hometown.

For the soft-spoken sophomore, his family's pumpkin patch and the Big Apple are worlds apart.
