Weekend Storylines to Follow (11/1/24)

The college wrestling season is already underway! Last night, after doling out some Halloween candy, we got a treat of our own as Campbell traveled west once again to meet Wyoming in a showcase dual. Cheyenne Frontier Days was the site for the “Dual at the Daddy” where the host team posted a dominant 28-12 win. Early in the dual, you could tell Campbell was in trouble after ranked wrestlers were upset at 133 and 141 lbs. 

The “Dual at the Daddy” was a great way to start the 2024-25 season and there’s more to come over the next three days. Even though this isn’t a jam-packed schedule, there’s still plenty to see. Unfortunately, some duals, individual matches, or tournaments could go overlooked. 

We’ve highlighted some storylines to monitor over the next three days. They are below and as follows:

Virginia Tech’s young upperweights

In his recent talk with Robbie Wendell, Virginia Tech Associate head coach Jared Frayer disclosed that the Hokies will start Sonny Sasso (197) and Jimmy Mullen (285) at the final two weights in Virginia Tech’s season debut against Chattanooga. Both were very highly-touted recruits for the Hokies and had strong redshirt seasons. Frayer went on to say that the battles between the two and the incumbents (Andy Smith/Hunter Catka) are extremely close at this point of the season.
