They will take on Team USA on Saturday, March 14, at the Fitzgerald Field House.
Although not unprecedented, the team will feature two wrestlers from Wyoming Seminary. Normally the team is comprised of wrestlers from PIAA schools, but Bartlett and McNeil are both ranked #1 in their respective weight classes.
There will be new weight class rankings released this week, but as of now it appears we have #1 at 220 vs #1 at 285, as well as #1 against #2 at both 145 and 152 pounds. The 138lb bouts feature all of the top three, 132 pits #2 against #3 as does 195, and 182 will be a rematch of the Super 32 finals.
Wyoming Seminary head coach Scott Green will be the honorary Team PA coach this year, as he coached both Bartlett and McNeil, and Sheldon Seymour frequently trains with their club team XCalibur.
