Penn State is well-positioned to claim its fourth straight national championship after having a perfect opening day at the Division I Men’s Wrestling Championships.

In the first round, the Penn State wrestler used a first-period takedown to dispatch West Virginia’s Jordan Titus, 4-2. Bartlett then made the quarterfinals by collecting a second-period takedown of South Dakota State’s Julian Tagg en route to a 4-1 decision.
