OMAHA, Neb. — Dan Vallimont has jumped many hurdles in his five years as a Penn State wrestler. There never seemed to be anything he couldn't clear.

Until Saturday night.

On the blue mat with the giant NCAA logo in the middle on top of the raised platform in front of more than 15,000 wrestling junkies in the Qwest Center, the last hurdle in Vallimont’s career finally tripped him up.

Vallimont lost, 9-3, to Wisconsin No. 1 seed Andrew Howe.

The Nittany Lion senior was in on several single attempts, but the Wisconsin sophomore countered all but one.
