UNIVERSITY PARK — With top-40 music playing from the speakers and clocks counting down from 48 minutes, the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex brims with activity nearly two months after Penn State finished its official season.

In one corner, an Olympic gold medalist and emerging heavyweight struggle moving each other. In an adjacent circle, a two-time NCAA champion pushes around a sophomore hoping to reach similar heights.

On the other side of the complex, another former NCAA champ trains with a teenager whose life revolves around wrestling. Behind the glass walls separating the wrestling mats and weight room, a man with big hopes for the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club’s newest endeavor and freestyle wrestling at Penn State watches a rehabbing heavyweight.

This mid-May afternoon provides a glimpse into a joke that started last fall when a competitor spotted heavyweight Les Sigman wearing NLWC gear at a major freestyle tournament. The competitor asked Sigman what the letters meant.

“It’s the future of wrestling,” Sigman responded.
